Last year Microsoft quickly and quietly announced its Microsoft Band when no one was really expecting a wearable. Sneaking into a growing ocean of wearables, Microsoft has a long way to go if it wants to remain a top contender in the fitness tracking competition. It may not have the slick design of Apple's Watch - or the extortionate price tag - but Microsoft is hoping its Band fitness tracker and watch will rival the likes of Fitbit as well as the Moto 360. The Band features sensors that track distance, pulse rate, calories, sleep quality and even UV exposure, and it doubles up as a smartwatch to show notifications.
In addition to tracking activity, it also offers guided workouts tailored to a user's exercise goals and GPS route mapping so users can see where they have run or cycled. This fitness band is already available in Bangladesh to purchase though there might be a little problem in warranty as its not officially launched yet in Bangladesh. Asking price is 21,900 taka or $280 now which will surely decrease over the time.
The Microsoft Band has the potential to be the best fitness tracker, but the lack of apps and its overhyped Health platform aren't quite there yet. Besides, this is just the first of what Microsoft is hoping will be many devices to tie into its Health platform.
