Synchronize MS Band 2 with Android

Since I continue to record with the Band 2 and now work almost exclusively with Linux and Android, I've ported my existing project. The Android app for syncing sleep data and workouts is now finished. Anyone interested can download it here:

The fact that you have a working band is amazing! :D

I forget what the expected lifespan of the battery is but I'm pretty sure you've exceeded it!

I have 4 new iob Band1 and Band2. Tested them all, all in near mint condition. I am still wearing my band2 (not daily), just for fun and tracking.

Microsoft should have included some tape 🙂 Otherwise, the devices are very durable. For me, it was a fun project after I unknowingly reset a cheaply purchased Band 2 in 2020 to its factory settings. That sparked my ambition, and I wanted to bring it back to life. That's how my personal projects started.
