"Microsoft (43.63, 0.89, 2.08%) is planning to launch its own wearable smart wrist strap, and Microsoft will officially announce the product in a matter of weeks," Forbes magazine reported in the morning News of October 20. American Science and Technology blog The Verge has confirmed the authenticity of the news.
Microsoft is about to launch a smart sports bracelet that will be sold through retailers this holiday season, sources familiar with Microsoft's plan said. Microsoft launched a spot smart watch in 2004 to send messages using FM radio signals. These messages include messages from Windows Messenger, news, stock quotes, and weather forecasts.
Although Microsoft's smart bracelet will integrate some smart watch functions, this bracelet will focus on the motor function first. The smart bracelet could be used to count steps, track heart rate, calorie consumption, and other key health information, the source said, with a built-in number of sensors. Microsoft is also testing the ability to continuously monitor heart rates throughout the day, and plans to have two days of battery time for the product.
The key part of the Microsoft Smart Bracelet is that the product will support multiple systems such as Windows Phone, iOS and Android. Microsoft is developing a separate application for each operating system to support the functions of the smart hand ring sensor, and the wrist strap can also display notifications from smartphones. Microsoft is unlikely to use the Lumia or surface brand for this sport wristband because it will support multiple mobile platforms.
Earlier this year, there were pictures showing that Microsoft had applied for patents related to the smart hand ring. There have been rumours that Microsoft is developing wearable computing equipment with a 1.5-inch display and detachable wrist strap.
