Microsoft recently launched a 2nd-generation Microsoft Band wearable fitness tracker, smartwatch thingamajig. It’s more powerful and it should be more comfortable to wear than its predecessor. But priced at $250, the Microsoft Band 2 is also kind of expensive.
But there’s a cheaper option: Microsoft is selling last year’s model for $130. Still too much money? Best Buy’s got you covered: the retailer is selling the first-gen Microsoft Band for $80 today only.
Of course, there are plenty of other wearables on the market… so I’ve included some good deals on low-cost smartwatches and activity trackers in today’s roundup of deals.

The GPS on my ms band really has trouble functioning. Just a warning!
I picked up a Misfit Flash for real cheap about a month ago. I really liked the design and the set and forget nature of it (plus it is a Bluetooth button!) but the App for android is not very good, and it calculated my burned calories as thousands more than it should have, even though steps where accurate.
