Microsoft would launch its smartwatch in a few weeks
Although we haven't heard from him for a couple of months, now the alleged Microsoft smartwatch is back in the arena thanks to Forbes sources, which affirm that the device would go on sale in just a few more weeks, in order to be available during the Christmas season, and anticipate the Apple Watch, which will only see the light of day at the beginning of 2015.
As had been rumored, the device would have sensors to monitor the he alth of whoever uses it, and would be compatible with various smartphone platforms (Windows Phone, iOS and Android).Also, according to Forbes' note, the battery of the device would last for 2 days of normal use , which would put it ahead of other smartwatches that require daily recharging.
That yes, in Forbes they affirm not having information about the name that the device will have, or the price at which it will go on sale (despite the fact that other rumors set the price at less than 200 euros).
We don't know either what the operating system that will give life to this device will be like Everything so far indicates that Windows 10 would be Redmond's bet to dominate this segment, but by the time this smartwatch was released, Windows 10 would still not have a polished enough version for ARM
One possibility given this is that Microsoft has been working more quickly on a version of Windows for wearables, with the idea of having it ready before the rest of the editions.It is also possible that the smartwatch comes with an earlier version of this operating system, giving you the option to update once the final version is released.
Anyway, I think the chances of success for this smartwatch are high, due both to its early release on the market (compared to with Apple Watch), as well as being compatible with iOS and Android, thus becoming the smartwatch with largest potential market to date.
It will be necessary to see if those from Redmond are able to materialize this opportunity well, launching the device with a marketing campaign that is up to the task.
