Hefty discount to help clear out inventories

The second-generation Band is already here, so Microsoft’s making big efforts to sell as many units of the first model as possible, obviously at really low prices and with huge discounts and special offers in several markets across the world.

After the UK got the original Band at its lowest price ever, the United States has also received a discount that makes the device available for just $99.99 (€85).

This is quite an appealing price for a very capable device, and although it's one generation old, the Band still has most of the features that are currently available on the newest model.

The biggest difference between the two is the design, as the second-generation Band comes with a curved display supposed to make it a bit more comfortable to wear (Microsoft says the Band is the kind of device that you can wear all day long, so an improved design is mandatory).

With Black Friday around the corner, those who want the first Band can only hope to get a better price than this, but for now, there’s still no teaser that could point to an even bigger discount. For the moment, this is the best Microsoft Band price in the United States, and you should really take advantage of it because the offer could expire anytime soon and the original price could come into effect again.
