CNET News - Microsoft redesigns Band with new curved OLED screen
2015-10-06
when we set out to create this version
we had a couple of design principles
optimized for the individual who goes to
work and enjoys working out like me make
it breathable and flexible no rigidity
in any directions know uncomfortable
shoulders no hard edges and above all it
must curve nicely around the wrist yeah
awesome so we figured out a way to
optimize the screen size and redesign
the screen itself so it curves plus with
the gorilla glass the organic LED screen
is scratch resistant and optimized to be
more responsive to touch which is
amazing right on but we also brought all
of the well-loved features from the
original band so that means you've got
your onboard GPS mapping UV monitoring
guided workouts you can track your sleep
and your calories you can also set up
customizable notifications for your
calls texts emails and social updates
khana integration so let's say you miss
a workout Cortana will offer to
reschedule it for you it'll keep you
updated on your calorie expenditure here
throughout the day with a constantly
updating graph but our customers asked
for something specific a way to track
elevation I get it I love spending time
in the mountains so we added an 11th
sensor a barometer
now you can track your fitness with even
more precision by measuring elevation
changes in real time great for hiking
biking or just climbing stairs
