The new one specs says max altitude is 1200m/3937 feet. That's unusable in pretty much the entire state of Colorado. The previous version was 12000m or 7.45 mil

The new one specs says max altitude is 1200m/3937 feet. That's unusable in pretty much the entire state of Colorado. The previous version was 12000m or 7.45 miles. It must be something to do with the new barometer, but this is a miss.
- jsalit 11y agoThe specs say the Maximum Operating Altitude is "-300m to +4877m".
- cmurf 11y agoWhere? I'm getting it from http://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-band/en-us/support/hardware/specifications http://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-band/en-us/support/hardwa... and it says Maximum operating altitude: +1200 m (3937 feet)
- crvrd 11y agoYour link appears to be the specifications for the old band - there's no barometer listed in the sensors, and there are dual batteries listed (I believe the new one only has one). I wish there were a better distinction between the two; this should be called the Band 2, not the "new Band." This is made worse by the fact that your link is reachable by clicking "Support" -> "Hardware" -> "Microsoft Band Specifications." Nothing in that path suggests anything about the old Band. The specs for the new Band are at https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-band/en-us/features https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-band/en-us/features - you have to click on "tech specs." This supports the -300 to +4877 meters number.
