Nokia also had its own smartwatch ready and now we can see it on video

Did you think Nokia was dead? None of that, I was just taking a breather or that is at least what could be deduced when we read information about the company. How when it seemed that it was inactive, they continued to develop and plan new products.

Some of them reached the market, in the case of the Nokia C1 tablet. Others, however, fell by the wayside and that may be the case at hand, a smartwatch that they had under development and with which they wanted or so it seems, conquer a piece of the wearables market.

The canceled smartwatch had the code name Moonraker and its development would have run parallel to that of the Nokia Lumia 1520. Little else was known about this project that Microsoft did not seem enthusiastic enough to assume as their own, although they later launched the Microsoft Band.

The fact is that little or nothing else was known about this Nokia smartwatch until now a video has come to light in which you can see what was the appearance of the device and some of its functions. And it is that this device came to be in a very advanced phase of development.

The smartwatch had a design with a square box with angular shapes In the lower right part there was a button with which to place the watch in standby mode or access settings with a long press. It had a touch screen and a vertical scrolling menu to access the functions it had, such as viewing missed calls, access to messages...

To get the smartwatch out of lethargy, a double tap on the screen was enough and to dismiss notifications we only had to slide the screen to the right or left. In addition, the design of the straps are very reminiscent of the Apple Watch, with that downward curve, straps that were also interchangeable. In addition, this Nokia development had wireless charging and support for NFC and lacked other current functions such as the pulse meter.

Apparently it was a rather interesting concept of which we don't know the reasons why it didn't come to fruition Maybe weighed down by come to light at a time when Nokia was immersed in its purchase by Microsoft, the Finns had to leave it in the drawer of forgotten projects. Who knows.
