Whilst it does perform some smart watch like functionalities, it’s not a smart watch. It’s a fitness band with a whole bunch of sensors to record your every move. TheVerge reckon Microsoft are on to something here, and it’s a great first try. The Band is easy to use. On twitter I’ve seen that folks who […]
