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
