After a few recent rumors that Microsoft was working on a wearable device, the company announced the immediate availability of their new full featured fitness band, Microsoft Band. Besides monitoring sleep cycles, tracking activity, and providing guided workouts, it also displays notifications, emails, and calendar events. One of the standout features of the device are its sensors. Featuring now standard sensors such as heart rate and accelerometer, the Microsoft Band also tracks things such as UV exposure and galvanic skin response and has built in GPS. If you are a coffee drinker who is still on the fence, a forthcoming update to the device will allow you to pay for purchases at Starbucks. The bluetooth 4.0LE device has a 48 hour battery life and is compatible with iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. It is available immediately for $199 from Microsoft’s website or stores.
