It is now a useful device for all types of sports, those who engaged in amateur to professionals. A product completely redesigned and improved from the point of view of the wearability thanks to a new flexible strap and breathable, made to fit the shape of the right wrist and adhere always in the best way possible.

Cortana which also turns in our personal trainers warning us when we are to achieve our objectives or if, on the contrary, we have not done enough physical activity throughout the day. To signal the presence of a barometer, thanks to which the Band Microsoft will be able to provide extremely accurate data also with regard to the unevenness addressed daily.

The data recorded by Microsoft Band will naturally be processed by our smarpthone, tablet or PC and can be displayed in practical charts, specifically designed to better understand the reactions of our body to the different types of stress. Indeed, the combination of a series of data allows to provide one estimate of the maximum VO2 reached during physical activity with a margin of error of 1/2%. This is the volume of oxygen that we are able to process. Information is important to understand how far we can push our physical.
A device that, thanks to the large number of sensors within it has been optimized for use on the golf course. The combined action of gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer and GPS makes it possible to locate the athlete and even recognize the blows not only as regards the number of the same but also for Quantro regards the type of shot.
