Although the development of intelligent wear products in the past few years is not ideal, there are still many technological manufacturers to adhere to new products on this road.
As one of the leading faucets of the global technology company, the brand's first smart bracelet product "Microsoft Band" has been launched since 2014 to enter the intelligent wear market at that time. This product is Microsoft based on Microsoft Health platform designed to help users monitor a smart wear equipment set up by physical health.

Since there are so many consumers who are happy at the time, many consumers will naturally make Microsoft Band have achieved a good sales score.
However, Microsoft's development is very low in the smart wear industry, and even no one knows that Microsoft has launched this product, this is different from the Surface laptop's large-scale publicity.
Just a year after the first generation of Microsoft Band, Microsoft Band 2 was officially available. This product has changed the appearance of the previous paragraph, adding Microsoft's voice assistant Cortana and has built-in 11 sensors. With the name of "Microsoft", a new shape and powerful configuration, Microsoft Band 2 seems to be a hot product.

However, things are willing to violate, and smart wear devices have gradually appeared in 2015. Coupled with Apple on the Apple Watch Smart Watch Series, the final sales of Microsoft Band 2 with smart wear products did not meet the expected ideal values.
Just three months after the sale of Microsoft Band 2, this product was started to be sold by Microsoft, which was sold from the original $ 249 (about RMB 1575) to $ 174.99 (about RMB 1106), but this still did not Can reverse the sales of Microsoft Band 2 sales.

We will continue to be committed to the innovation of the Microsoft Health platform, which has been open to all hardware and application partners of Windows, Android, iOS devices.
At the same time, we (referring to Microsoft) will continue to sell Microsoft Band 2 and continue to support users and continue to explore the wearable market.
Microsoft spokesperson said in a media group visit in September 2016. Though words, the news of Microsoft next-generation smart wear products after Microsoft Band 2 is no longer mentioned.

However, although Microsoft officially announced the news of the next generation of smart bracelet products after Band 2, even the project has been sent out of the rumors of Microsoft "cutting".
But in two years later, we can see the figure of Microsoft Band 3 (hereinafter referred to as: Band 3) in our foreign media Windows Central. Obviously, Microsoft did have launched the follow-up products of Band 2, but I don't know why, the process of developing the project is suspended.

The editor of Windows Central Zac Bowden is in the Microsoft Band 3 to experience this product in the title in "Microsoft's best smart wearable equipment" in Microsoft Band 3.
However, Zac Bowden also said in the text, quite unfortunate it will never be released, because Microsoft has cut off the related project of the smart bracelet, which is only a prototype of Microsoft Band 3.

From a Windows Central's article, the appearance of Microsoft Band 3 is substantially the same as that of the previous Microsoft Band 2, both of which have a size of 12.8mm x 32mm, and has a 320 x 128 resolution surface AMOLED display.
However, some of the details of the Band 3 are redesigned. For example, the number of built-in sensors, the details of the table, such as the table buckle, the ACTION button, etc.) and more comprehensive waterproof function (previous Band 2 is "life waterproof", and Band 3 is "comprehensive waterproof") .

As a smart health bracelet product, Microsoft has already set up more than 11 sensors on the previous Band 2. On this time, the number of sensors is increased to 13.
Includes two newly added ECG induction and RFID RF identification electronic tag sensors, as well as optical heart rate sensors, triaxial accelerometers, GPS, ambient light sensors, skin temperature sensors, ultraviolet sensors, capacitive sensors, electrocardial skin reactions sensors, air pressure Meter, microphone, gyroscope.

In terms of battery life, although BAND 3 and Band 2 have timely endurance time, it takes only 1 hour (10% to 100%), while the latter takes 1.5 hours or more.
At the same time, the editing of Windows Central also summarizes the three new features of the BAND 3, namely "swimming tracking", "RFID Sports Tag" and "Enhanced Sports Tracking Monitoring".

Among them, the enhanced motion tracking monitoring can identify information feedback according to the sensor to identify your current physical condition; because the bracelet has a full waterproof character, the bracelet is also carried out in your swimming, speed, heart rate, etc. Track. However, since it is the cause of prototype, the RFID function does not demonstrate it in this device.
At the end of the experience text, the editor of Windows Central indicates that Microsoft Band 3 has thinner, waterproof form and more powerful features. It is clear that Microsoft is the best product in the history of smart bracelet equipment. If it is a sports Fitness enthusiasts, then Band 3 will be a very good device.
But quite a pity, this product will never be released.
