I remember it well.
I’m not really a very active person, but the Microsoft Band was just an awesome product.
Of course I had a Union Jack wallpaper on my Microsoft Band.
It was different from the other fitness trackers and emerging smartwatches; it was exciting and really grabbed attention.
So let’s remember the good times, shall we?
But beyond that excitement, itwasdifferent.
Of course I had a Union Jack wallpaper on my Microsoft Band.
Or I thought so, at least.
It was also completely cross-platform, a feature I always enjoy.
Microsoft absolutely nailed the basics of a good wearable on the first attempt.
We pretty quickly got a neat translator that worked well on the Microsoft Band.
Microsoft had a good thing going here.
Innovative, different, brilliant.
Even the keyboard on the Microsoft Band was well executed (check it out in the video above).
I loved the true cross-platform support from the Microsoft Band.
It really did feel like a gear from the future, and one with a bright one at that.
The community really loved it, too.
A third was originally planned, and we even managed to get our hands on one of the prototypes.
We had a sequel, but then that was it.

I stopped really caring about wearables after the Microsoft Band.
But something about the Microsoft Band was just perfect.
I was happy enough just to be able to use it to pay for Starbucks!
But as we’ve seen, even that hasn’t gone very well.
