It should presumably work against any patch of skin. Arm hair might be a factor though.

If you look at this presentation video from Microsoft, it seems that most of the people in it, is wearing it with the display on the inside of their wrists.

So my Microsoft Band arrived this morning, so I've taken some pictures:

The box


The screen protector, the box and the $5 Starbucks giftcard


Screen protector (which is a pair to put on properly, the instructions is shite)


Giftcard


More of the box


The box is open, showing the band


Instructions


The band


Charging cable




Band being charged and is trying to connect to my phone


Connected - still being charged


And finally on my hairy wrist - didn't move that much at work today...


The size of band is Large, but after 30 minutes or so, you'll end up getting used to wearing it.

So, a very short introduction - feel free to ask any questions.

To hell with proprietary chargers.

I can on agree on that, would have preferred an ordinary micro USB connection.

Advice: Put the screen protector on right now. The plastic screen will scratch in milliseconds...

It's already on, took a couple of tries, but looks good now :)

Just ordered a Gear S2, should be here in 3-4 days time.

Right now I'm using a Gear Fit, but wanted something which doesn't look as geeky.

Did anyone ever buy the S2? If so, thoughts?

Yeah, I've been using one for about 2 weeks now, and it's in my opinion brilliant.

If you have any questions, just ask and I'll try to do my best in answering them.
