Microsoft Band

Tempest

Still a bit chunky, but I love the concept.
Sure I'll get something like this someday.

Think we still have quite a few years to go yet on the whole smartwatch concept.
it will get there I'm sure.... Just going to take time

Will wait till my v1 falls apart before getting this. Not different enough to warrant the change cost as i suspect the 2nd hand price for the v1 is peanuts now!

Its not that much of a upgrade on 2nd looks, only added Barometer for height and changed to the smooth design.

No extra battery life, no extra features.

But added £50 to the RRP.

It's now £99 direct from ms and £21  tcb excellent value

My band has broken - won't charge now - had since April at launch day - rang up Microsoft and it's getting replaced .... The rubber to the side of the clip is coming off and the sensor is really corroded - never been in water, but has had a hard life whilst exercising and lots of cycling

Does the original do the vo2 max thing? Was looking at the new one but with TCB making it £80 it's tempting to give that a try first. Or you think I should just jump straight to the new one for the better fit, stronger screen etc?

Has that deal disappeared or where does the £21 come from?

the porter

The £21 has now finished on topcashback eBay have 20% of at the moment try that

Ok, thanks. Snoozed and lozed.

I've just ordered on eBay from the currys eBay store for £99.99 minus the instant £20 off which is prob better than the TCB as the discount is instant no waiting for the money back.

If I like it I will prob upgrade and trade this in for £70 on MS site.
