That's a great scheme! I'd highly recommend trying the Lumia 950 out, in case any of you are trying to decide, it's a very different experience

I'd recommend giving the Microsoft Band a try as well (suprisingly I don't actually use a microsoft devices myself haha). But we've always recommened the Band as one of the few smartwatches that's reasonably priced, works with iOS, Android and Windows, and has an inbuilt GPS chip. If it's the 2nd generation model it'll also look pretty slick!

+1 for someone wanting something different with any of the MS phones, and the Band is certainly worth trying on it's own.
The only down sides for me (personally) are the battery life and the size of the thing - however, given the amount they stuck in it I am not surprised!

I have a feeling the Band is going to be quite popular as it's very different from a mobile handset which everyone has experience with.
