Microsoft officially gives up on fitness wearables as it stops selling the Band 2

03 October 2016
Today Microsoft has stopped selling the Band 2 fitness wearable. Furthermore, the company has removed all traces of this product from its online store. The Band SDK isn't online anymore either.

EDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, 04 Oct 2016Something is wrong with that picture !! why is the time fac... moreThe band can be wore in any direction. Hey! Remember it is a band and not a watch. The way you said it, the buttons will be on the inside, which makes it easier for the thumb to operate. Maybe the guy wore it wrongly, all the same it is a band, and he prefers it that way.
Stop hating, it is the most accurate fitness band available in the world. Watch various and actual test video on Youtube.

    Something is wrong with that picture !! why is the time facing in that direction? what an awkward way to read the time.

    One simple function..... and its done wrongly. The product line deserves not to be sold.

      Microsoft did not say they are giving up on their fitness band, also sales of the band is still listed on their official website.
      I do not know where this lie is coming from.

                    I wouldn't buy a dog biscuit from Microsoft. They are finished in the smart phone race, now the wearables, next they will stop making Surface tablets without any notice. They are a horrible company.

                      of course! overpriced unusable watch, that has a 90-degree misplaced display,
                      who would want that???

                      Microsoft keeps failing non-stop.

                        I'm surprised when a company such as Microsoft gives up so easily on products so above the competition. The Microsoft band 2 is a incredible useful device with a great built quality which makes the others like Fitbit look like cheap plastic things on your wrist.
                        I use a band 2 every single day and all day long, including during my daily runs.

                        I'm now sad that Microsoft gave up again on their great products, leaving their fans without any choice.

                          looking forward to the Band 3 (or what ever it will be called) in 2017...we'll see I don't think they are entirely out yet.

                              That's right. They should just concentrate on software.

For real performance, security etc I'll go with windows any day.
