The smartwatch will work with Android and iOS devicesĪnonymous sources told Forbes that the device will be compatible with Windows Phone, iOS, and Android devices. The article also hinted that Texas Instruments and Atmel chips may be onboard and confirmed the smartwatch’s unique form factor. Then, in late June, a new report from Tom’s Hardware stated that Microsoft will include 11 different sensors on the device. Previous rumors indicated that the smartwatch might include fitness sensors for monitoring heart rate and other vitals, but did not specify exactly how many will be included. It will also work more like a fitness tracker than a smartwtach. In early July, another report from Paul Thurrott’s Supersite for Windows confirmed rumors that Microsoft’s first wearable won’t look like a smartwatch at all, but more like a circular fitness band. The article describes the display as “about the size of half a stick of gum.” The Microsoft smartwatch may look like the Samsung Gear Fit. Earlier rumors hinted at a small 1.5-inch display, which seems to be verified by Forbes. The full-color display will be placed in a bizarre position against the user’s wrist, so that notifications will be more private. The company’s first wearable will reportedly offer two days of battery life and feature a design similar to that of the Samsung Gear Fit. It will have 11 sensors and look like the Gear FitĪccording to Forbes, Microsoft has been working on a smartwatch for some time now and has clear plans for the future of the device.
