Pierpaolo FigucciaNovember 21, 2016

Today we finally see some real photos of the much talked MGCOOL Band 2. It was about time as we’ve only seen 3D renders up until now, but at least they aren’t that far off from reality, it appears. In addition, we also have some updates on the software side.

So here you see it first, the new MGCOOL Band 2 looking pretty sleek, with the 0.66″ OLED screen (off in the photo) and the touch capacitive button below it to support the touch features.

Just abobe the Band 2’s screen we find the MGCOOL logo.

MGCOOL have also updated the step algorithm on the band, which should allow for more precise step counting, they improved the heart rate monitoring algorithm making it more accurate as well as the polysomnography feature (sleep tracking).

I’m tempted to buy it… Cheap and very great.. But ah it is elephone… I wish if it is real. That would sell like a hot chocolate cake. Or a strawberry cake. Or Big Mac with fries… Or maybe without fries but with coke… Or maybe with with fries and coke.
Man I want a Big Mac with fries… Or maybe without fries but with coke… Or maybe with with fries and coke.

With mobile phones there’s little need for a watch, but people do use them as fashion statements. Has this got the looks? Next is the sports angle, and really, without blood pressure statistics, heart rate and arm movement don’t really equate to realistic data to chart energy burn. If you want a cheap way into the fitness band scene then this would be a considerable winner.
Some other considerations. How long will the silicone band last? Does the design cater for large wrists? Are you willing to recharge each week? Does this have a stop-watch feature?

Looks nice. Too bad it’s made by elephone. They have to prove they can make a quality product before I’ll ever consider anything they make.

    Nah. You have not even tried their products I am sure.. Nobody got their hands on any of MgCool products. You must a new paid fan.. Not very expert at praising them…

    Mgcool is elephone’s Internet sub brand. Their official website launched today, according to their Facebook page. This is the first Mgcool branded product. Everything else has been elephone products, most of which haven’t even been rebranded with the Mgcool label. But, I think you already knew this. I’d be happy to be proven wrong, but until elephone, Mgcool or any other branding elephone want to put on their products, produce an item that is half as good in real life as the spec sheet indicates, I’ll keep my distance.

The first thing that I’ll do with the smartband will be submerge it and see if it can resist just like they say
