It is designed to wear on either side of the wrist - but in general it is easier to read the text written length-ways if you wear on inside. More natural turn of the arm/wrist Plus it looks a lot better on inside as, like you say, tad clunky. I do joke about it being a futuristic prisoner tag!
I was well-aware it feels like a "first version" of the band....but I love it. It's nowhere near as awkward to wear as you'd think. I don't notice it now - day or night.
It is built around little apps in a Windows Surface stylee. You have a large pool of tiles avail then pick I think about 13 to go on the band. With the phone app you These are things like RUN, EXERCISE, SLEEP, WEATHER, TEXTS, EMAIL, FACEBOOK, WEATHER, FINANCE, BIKE. and so on. I use at the gym where afterwards you get a plot of time and pulse as well as calories burned (based on pulse, age, height, weight). I do a lot of running - and recently used at a half marathon. It got drenched that day and was totally fine. Microsoft dashboard pulls together all the date from runs, sleep etc etc. All done v nicely. It also pairs with a few partner apps....various fitness, running, biking things that you might already use.
It integrates with iOS, Android or Windows.... the only difference being there is slightly more functionality with Windows and Cortana. you can speak to your wrist to do a Cortana search and set reminders etc - which I don't have.
The email and text previews are really good (gives you a few lines - which is often enough). I knock the phone on silent and then just read the email and text previews as they come through on the band. The alert happens with a vibrate on wrist (no sounds) which you can set the strength of. Likewise when you get and incoming call....... it is a quick glance of wrist to decide whether to find phone (just left in house in bluetooth range).
Need any more info or real-life experiences with it - give me a shout !
