In addition to revealing the HoloLens developer price and release window, the new Band—not called Band 2, as was previously rumored— brings barometer features to enable elevation tracking and a curved screen.

The Band also carries many of the same features that was included in like the built-in GPS and support for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Along with tracking fitness, the new Band will continue to support apps.
