The Microsoft Band leaked earlier when the company posted details about its companion apps for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. It's a complete fitness band that's similar to the Samsung Fit.

It has 10 sensors, which include heart-rate, UV, and even a galvanic skin response for detecting stress. Microsoft will also offer Microsoft Health, which is a cloud-based service for tracking and analyzing the data from the band as well as other devices. Companion apps are available for Android (screenshots below), iOS, and Windows Phone.

The device will go on sale tomorrow for $199 at Microsoft's physical and online stores.

We have the download link for the Android app below.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

this stands out among smart wearables out there with the support of the 3rd major mobile os while being compatible to both ios/android as well, makes the Microsoft band a compelling product for the masses
