Last week, Microsoft"s Band 2 went on sale in the United States, and it"s currently available for pre-order in the UK too, ahead of its release there on November 19. American buyers have been able to grab its predecessor - the first-generation Band - with as much as 60% off its regular price, and now those in the UK can enjoy similarly generous discounts too.
The original Band is currently on sale via the Microsoft Store UK site for just £69.99 - that"s £100 less than its original list price of £169.99.
To sweeten the deal further, Microsoft is also including a free ZAGG invisibleSHIELD screen protector, worth £9.99, with the device. However, the free screen protector will only be included with the Band until November 12, or until stocks run out.
By the way, if you already own an original Band, you can trade it in for a £70 credit towards the new model, which is priced at £199.99.
