(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

New York, New York (October 13, 2015) ­ – Microsoft Band 2, the second-generation fitness tracker, has been announced at an event in New York on October 6 together with the new Lumia 950, Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book.

The Microsoft Band 2 is powered by Microsoft Health, and tracks heart rate, steps, calorie burn, and sleep quality. It also helps with email previews and calendar alerts. The updates of this highly popular wearable gadget include a curved AMOLED display that will help it conform more naturally to the wrist, and new additional sensors that detect and measure physical exercise going up and down stairs. The battery has moved underneath instead of hugging the band’s sides, making the strap feel smoother. The selling price is $249.99 USD.

Unfortunately, the highly anticipated Microsoft Band 2 was only released in the U.S. and a select number of other countries at the launch event. A release date has not yet been announced for Germany.
