Rather than straddling the line equally between smartwatch and fitness tracker though, the Band is definitely leaning more towards the ‘dedicated tracker’ side of things and is absolutely packed with sensors – moreso than pretty much any other device in fact. Its closest competitor then is probably something like the Samsung Gear Fit but it’s way cooler than that. This is Microsoft’s attempt at a Fitbit-style health tracker merged with an Apple Watch-style smartwatch. So I’ve now been playing with it for a couple of days.
