End of speculations-Microsoft Band is released

Microsoft watch or Microsoft wearable?
For the time being it seems to be settled. It is a wearable.

Microsoft seems to have done good this time around releasing a cross-platform, health related wrist band -the Microsoft Band.

Microsoft Band released today with longer battery life; better integration with other operating systems; betting on the 'Mobile-first, Cloud-first' theme; and with more sensors than other similar devices at a price very reasonable is sure to intensify competition in this wearable, health targeted market.

It only supports Cortana on the Windows Phone but I am sure the CortanaOS and CortanaAndroid sibblings will soon join the family.

Watch this video from Microsoft:

Microsoft has really gone beyond just gathering the statistics of your active life but has included the heart rate monitor overcoming some of the expressed views here:
