In May, it was hinted that Microsoft’s smartwatch might arrive this summer, but new information suggests that it might be launched in October, after all.
New rumors about Microsoft’s smartwatch.
According to this new report, the smartwatch will have 11 sensors that will help it monitor the wearer’s heart rate. Furthermore, the device will probably be compatible with Windows, Android and iOS, and the company might include an open API upon its release. The source of this information also claims that the smartwatch will be very thin and look like a slimmer version of the Nike Fuelband, and that the device’s screen will be on the inside of the user’s wrist.
Of course, Microsoft’s yet to confirm any of this, but if the information about the release date turns out to be true, we’ll know more soon enough. Apple’s iWatch is also scheduled to debut in October, so Microsoft should watch out for its competition.
