Like Windows 10 Mobile, Microsoft Band 2 is a cool device to receive incoming calls, send a text like you send from a phone and do more. It comfortably rests on your wrist and allows you to do multitasking. For instance, when there is an incoming call, or you receive notification, there’s a haptic vibration prompting you to swipe simply to left to reply or dismiss a the call altogether.

This whole exercise is, however, possible if you have your Windows 10 Mobile correctly paired with Microsoft Band 2.
