hey what's up everyone this is Todd Hazleton I'm checking out the brand new Microsoft band uh it's not really called the band - but that's what it is it's the second band you can see it's a lot more I want to say comfortable already and I haven't even put it on my wrist it's a lot more ergonomic you've got the heart rate sensor still on the bottom the rounded nice metal body here with buttons of course the face is now rounded instead of that square - uh carrillo class three so it won't scratch it's bad if you remember with the original band you were actually they recommended that you put a plastic cover on top to prevent scratching we've got the blacks theme here controls are mostly the same so you're going through cortana a sleep mode for sleep tracking mail calendar golf so this can actually tell you which tee box you're on how far away each hole is depending on the course whether it's we're not running cycling lifting weights so you can you can load up a workout then hit the GM and it'll tell you you know you got reps to do messaging phone calls settings haven't really checked out what looks like you know standard Bluetooth going to airplane mode etc will tap the buttons here looks like it's just a no real ambient mode I can see now one of the new features though and I'm not sure where it is it could be anywhere might be on the bottom or in one of these areas is a barometer so that will depend on on how quickly or sorry it depends on your altitude but what kind of workout you're getting at various altitudes so it's only the only bands I guess it has that built in and it also is capable of measuring your oxygen levels so usually you'd have to sort of jump on a machine to try to do that this is able to do that much easier I just want to show you the class - it kind of just slides on very similar to before and then hold the buttons to let it go so slides ons clip it's all in place pull the button select go so it's a lot less bulkier than before which looks pretty good obviously you can customize it with themes shows the steps and all kinds of stuff like that right up front but any case want to show you a quick look at the new Microsoft band this is Todd Hazleton from TechnoBuffalo
