Am thinking of getting a Microsoft band 2 when they ship, anyone offer any experiences with them?

Primarily for exercising as I doubt I'd wear it 24/7. I currently use runtastic when jogging/cycling but like the idea of the Band.

Is the fitness app that it connects to on the phone any good as well?

I like the look of it and it seems really well featured, no idea for example how they measure your blood oxygen level with it!

There are loads of short reviews on youtube but as it hasn't been released yet there aren't any proper reviews out yet. Don't know about the apps either, I have a Windows phone as my backup phone and haven't found a specific app in the store for it yet but maybe that'll come when the Band 2 is released.

With the original Band, there were loads of 3rd party apps plus Microsoft Health to use.

TBH I was actually after experiences of the band 1 because the 2 hasn't been released!

Am wondering if it is better than runtastic as well.
