Multitasker: The new Microsoft Band 2 wearable has 11 sensors and can track everything from sleep to golf swing.

Microsoft's first notebook computer and its smartphones that double as PCs may have snatched the headlines at its Oct 6 hardware event, but it could well be the company's second-generation health and fitness tracker that makes the biggest contribution to the quality of people's lives. 

The Microsoft Band 2 arrives as health and fitness trackers are getting more scientific and health-related scrutiny and, according to research published this week by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) in partnership with the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), they're having a positive impact on sleep.
