Microsoft could launch its own smartwatch in October if the latest rumours prove true.
Sources familiar with Microsoft’s smartwatch project have said that the company is planning to launch its wearable in October.
Speaking to the source said that Microsoft’s smartwatch will be compatible with other mobile platforms, unlike most Android smartwatches. The iWatch is also likely to be restricted to Apple’s iOS devices.
According to the source, the smartwatch is designed as a smaller and thinner version of the Nike Fuelband. It is said to feature a screen on the underside of the band.
We guess that probably means the outside edge, rather than the actual underside where you wouldn’t be able to see it without taking it off. That would just be plain stupid.
Other details are scarce, but like the iWatch, it is said to be stuffed to the brim with sensors.
Obviously, this is all hear-say for the time being, but it would make sense that Microsoft would be aiming to get its smartwatch out before as soon after the iWatch arrives to avoid falling behind like it did with Windows Phone.
