1 Chapter 1 : Microsoft Band Review & Rating blog.quintoapp.com During setup, the Microsoft Band app asks you to sign in with your Microsoft account, so have that info ready. If you've used Microsoft services in the past--like Xbox, Hotmail, blog.quintoapp.com, or OneDrive--you already have a Microsoft account. So check out our hand-picked tips and tricks to enhance your Microsoft Band 2 experience. For some people the large sensor clasp can push on the blood vessels under your wrist and become less comfortable. Give it a try. Connect to third party apps While the Microsoft Health app continues to improve, it also lets you use the big third party health apps too. Tap on Apps on the left menu of the Microsoft Health app on your phone and then choose to link your accounts with your Microsoft account. Currently supported services include Lose It! There are some limitations with the data that is exported. For example, the data Microsoft provides to RunKeeper does not contain the GPS route info, which is a bit of a dealbreaker, but it means that you existing RunKeeper users can still see progress and improvement. Then when you connect your Band again, the gaps in activity tracking will be synced. Our testing showed that the Band tracked a movie or other slothful couch time as sleep. However, you can always go in and delete false sleep sessions, which for our money is still better than miss out tracking sleep all the time. But there is a caveat. While restful sleep, light sleep, times woke up, time to fall asleep, duration, and calories burned are all tracked in auto mode, sleep restoration is not. Just go to the Sleep Tile and choose the action button. Try out the web app You can view some data on your Microsoft Band 2 and then even more of the details on your smartphone. However, if you really want to see all of the details, see your personal bests, data compared over different periods of time, then the web version of the Microsoft Health Dashboard is your friend. Just follow the link and sign in using your Windows ID to get more data than your mind can manage. Make those stairs count The new barometer sensor in the Microsoft Band 2 can measure the stairs climbed, so make use of it by earning points for skipping the elevator. While this data appears in the details of the Health app, Microsoft also provides your stair climb number when you toggle through the basic data using the action button on the home screen display. Turn on the coach Microsoft provides an incredible number of guided workouts, to help you get more out of gym sessions. On your phone or the Microsoft Health website, browse and find guided workouts that you want to try and then sync them to your Microsoft Band. After launching the workout, you will be guided through the routine by your Band through words, data tracking, and vibrations. Microsoft recently updated the Microsoft Band 2 and now when you play music on your phone you will see music controls appear right on the Band after you double press the large power button. Swipe right to lower volume and swipe left to increase volume from your Band. Use the smart alarm for easier mornings You may have found that you wake up on the "wrong side of the bed" at times and feel terrible when that alarm goes off. The new Microsoft Band sleep mode has an option to set a smart alarm, which will wake you during a light sleep phase so you can avoid that groggy feeling when your wake up call sounds. Pay for stuff with custom tiles You can have up to 13 tiles displayed on your Microsoft Band 2, and some offer more than just tracking and information. Explore web tiles Microsoft announced Web Tiles in July where developers could provide glanceable information to customers in the form of a tile. In the Microsoft Health app add the Windows Central tile. Page 1

3 Chapter 3 : Microsoft band user manual?! - Microsoft Community I can't find a Band Watch User Manual to download. I need a more complete guide to all the Band functions and features and how to use them. Did Microsoft goof by not providing one that will let users. Wearables are unique, fashionable, productive and always connected, helping us live a digitized lifestyle. But wearables can also be disruptive in the Mobile space. While developers are still grappling to go cross-platform with native or hybrid mobile apps, out come wearables from Apple, Microsoft and Google â each catering to their respective platform and each with its own development paradigm, in addition to unique UX guidelines. If you are a fan of the Microsoft Band however, there is some reason to rejoice. Not only is the Band one of the few wearables that work cross-platform with any phone you own, it is also surprisingly easy to add custom data to your wrist as a Band application. All you need is a standard data endpoint and a little web skills if you want to get fancy. This article walks you through how to add web data to your Band through Web Tiles. The Promise As much as consumers like wearables, it presents yet another ecosystem that developers have to support. Sure wearables are fun, very personal and present opportunities for enticing user experiences, but developers now have to consider extremely small screens, reconsider app content and UI, on top of the challenges of going cross-platform with mobile apps. Another pitfall with considering developing for wearables comes from the fact that wearables are intrinsically tied to the corresponding host mobile operating system. As a result, developing for wearables is often native app development, and developers need to know the native SDKs, programming patterns and aim to get the corresponding UX right. While you still need to go native, it is encouraging to see wearables have their own operating systems and apps that can stand by themselves, instead of the near constant dependence on the corresponding mobile platform. The Microsoft Band The Microsoft Band sits squarely in between being a fitness wearable and a smart watch. The Band is loaded with sensors â an optical heart rate monitor, accelerometer, GPS, ambient light sensor, skin temperature sensor, UV sensor, capacitive sensor, a microphone and a galvanic skin response sensor. While all these sensors give tremendous power to the developer, building apps for the Band is marred in the same complexities nonetheless. The SDK can be used to create personalized, interactive Band tiles using custom layouts that contain text, icons, buttons and barcodes. However, you have to build native mobile apps for each mobile platform to build compelling companion Band experiences. Recent Updates All that changes with the recent updates to the Microsoft Band and Health developer platform. One of the most exciting features is the new support for Web Tiles. No longer do you need native mobile apps; simply reuse your web data to build experiences on the Band. Every user of the Band invariably uses the Microsoft Health App â natively on each mobile platform. Band Web Tiles make it super simple to deliver glanceable information to Band users, from virtually any data source accessible on the internet. This is exciting stuff â time to dig in. This needs to relevant short pieces of information for your Band users. While there is no dearth of such endpoints, you can easily create such an endpoint yourself for your custom data. One such endpoint that is readily available is data from the Telerik Developer Network or TDN â the website that you are on right now, how meta! This is an easy, web-based, 5-step Band Web Tile authoring tool â in fact, you do not need to be a developer to use it. The wizard steps you through all the pieces that you need to wire up to make a Band Web Tile. Choose from a set of standard layouts shown below for Band data display, as the user launches your Tile. Point the Web Tile authoring tool to your custom data feed. Next we do some data mapping, purely through drag and drop. The tool reflects on the data feed that you provided to show a glimpse of the data that would be pulled back from the cloud data source. You simply have to drag repeatable data elements into the dynamic placeholders aided by color coding â and everything is wired up for you. You may also type in static content over the dynamic ones from the feed, if you so desire. Next, customize the color scheme of your Web Tile and provide some identifying information for the user. Notice how the tool already shows you a sample of how your data will look on the Band. The last step of the wizard allows you to download the pre-built Web Tile to your computer. What you get is a simple file with. When you try to open the file, the Microsoft Health app shows up as one of the options based on the file extension, as shown below on ios. You add the custom Web Page 3

4 Tile to a connected Band, as shown in screenshot. Notice how the name and icon are used to identify the Tile. Third party Tiles show up in your Band configurations, as below. It may take a minute for the Microsoft Health app to sync with your Band, but, once done, you should see the newly created Tile deployed to the Band the middle tile in the photo below. Also, if you had picked a multiple-page Tile like the TDN Articles one, you can swipe through up to 8 pages of content inside your Tile app. Do It Yourself While the Web Tile authoring tool and subsequent deployment through the Microsoft Health app worked fine, perhaps you want to be able to customize the functionality. First, start with the comprehensive documentation on building custom Web Tiles for the Band. Image courtesy Microsoft Image courtesy Microsoft Essentially, a Web Tile architecture is a collection of files that are zipped up and deployed to the Band in a special. So, you can begin by creating a folder that represents your Web Tile â give it a name based on what you want your Web Tile to be called. The two necessary contents are as shown below: Once you are ready, you will deliver the contents of the entire folder as a zipped file. The refresh interval controls this data refresh rate, with the default being 30 minutes. In the child content object, you get to define custom variables that are data bound to specific data expressions in the feed. The layout refers to one of the pre-defined Tile layouts that you get to choose from options shown below â pick one that works best for your type of data. The textbindings object defines the bindings between the element IDs of the chosen layout to variable data expressions â this is where you get to reuse the variables you defined in the resources section. Each page of your Web Tile may also use icon bindings corresponding to data, as defined in the iconbindings object. Simply point your users to a custom URL scheme on their mobile browsers, the Microsoft Health app will do the rest: While you often need to make native apps for wearables, this does not always have to be the case. You can use the automated Web Tile authoring tool or build the Web Tile package by hand if you want more customized control.
