New Microsoft Band 2 firmware update is rolling out

Microsoft is rolling out a new firmware update for its Microsoft Band 2 fitness wearable. There's no word yet on what's new with this version.

At the moment, all we know is that the firmware number has been changed to 2.0.4829.0 26 R. It's possible it has some bug fixes for the recently added heart rate zone feature. Hopefully we will get more information on what's contained in this release soon. Keep in mind that the Microsoft Band 2 is still being sold for the discounted price of $174.99 from now until July 9.

Thanks to Marcus for the tip!
