TT Correspondent |  |  20 Oct 2014

Microsoft is going to launch a smartwatch within the next few weeks that will passively track a user heart rate and work across different mobile platforms, Reports Forbes.

The long battery life will put Microsoft product ahead of Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch and Motorola Moto 360. Apple unveiled a smartwatch on 9 September that will combine health and fitness tracking with communications and will go on sale in early 2015, while Samsung unveiled its Galaxy Gear smartwatch in September 2013.

In May, Forbes had reported that Microsoft was working on a smart watch that drew on optical engineering expertise from its Kinect division, and which would sync with iPhones, Android devices and Windows Phones.

But still Microsoft is yet to make any official announcement, but the launch of a wearable device would definitely mark the entry of the company into a new device category.

But in the meantime, a lot of companies like – LG, ASUS, and Motorola etc. have already unveiled their smartwatches and set the platform for others to launch their wearable devices and increase the choices for the consumers, who can select their best one from the various available options.
