I paid for my starbucks today by letting them scan my band.
This first time I did that I got the same reaction that I got when I paid for lunch with my phone at McDonalds - utter confusion.
But that is because they had never seen a Windows Phone be useful before.

har har - they had never seen anyone use any phone before to pay.
Oh, and it wasn't my Windows phone, since my Windows phone doesn't have NFC that wouldn't work. My Windows phone is too cheap for that.
It was my old Galaxy S4.

A new Band update went out this week. Android users with Cortana can now integrate the two with Band.

The Band gets updated about every 3 weeks with a new feature. I have a Google alert setting to email me on Fridays about anything Band related so I can stay apprised of the happenings on my wrist, be it a future feature or something that's just happened (I already knew about the Cortana integration since I've updated already).

This has been fixed. However I am never trying it again (still have a mark on my wrist). So I found a
sucker, er um, person to use it instead, aka @scottalanmillerI am very happy with my FitbitHR.

Not to make light of @Minion-Queen 's injury, but this song loop is stuck in my head:
"Me watch on fiyah
Me wrist in fiyah
Feeling hot, hot, hot!"
Thank you, I'll be here all week.....

ROFL!

I saw @Nic using his apple watch and I was only a little envious that it turns on when he looks at it. I have to push a button to see the time.

I have not heard them. But the Apple Watch updated today when I set it up. So many I got some of them?

you do? I don't. MS Band 2, there's a setting for showing time when twisting your wrist.

Fitbit Charge does that too. It's pretty nice.

I'm still getting used to the Apple Watch but so far it seems pretty good.

So many people on twitter complaining that the Apple Watch has burned them. You are not alone @Minion-Queen
