The device, which will be launched early next year for $ 199, has ten sensors to monitor physical activity and includes heart rate monitor and GPS.
The ultraportable devices mark the current technological trend. Within a year, major multinationals have launched their proposals more or less luck. With some models on the market and others to come, as the case of Apple Watch, software giant Microsoft has confirmed "Microsoft Band", a quantifying bracelet that will allow owners to monitor their fitness and activity.
The debut of the company in this emerging technology related to the field of health will arrive in early 2015, two years after Sony launched its first smart watch that curtain lifted to other rival brands such as Samsung launched their first models last year, Galaxy Gear, one of the most successful and already has several subsequent generations. Indeed, the model resembles Microsoft Bracelet Fit Gear in aesthetics.
Like other similar models, the Microsoft device, on sale for $ 199 (158 euros), including GPS and comes loaded with a number of sensors (10 sensors in this case) are discussed from the heart rate, calories burned and sleep quality, as explained in the company blog, where it says "is designed for people who want to live healthier and more productive."
The company has also shown a health application called "Microsoft Health" which includes a cloud service for users to store and combine data from health and fitness. One advantage of this "app" is that it will be able to collect data from other operating systems (iOS and Android) besides the obvious Windows Phone.
The data collected are complete. Besides knowing the steps walked, analyzing racing pulse monitor 24 hours a day, the tool allows to receive information and guidance for training (includes suggest allows us to rest after an exercise intensity) as well as a feature to challenge the user by creating goals daily. Another interesting aspect is that it offers features such as reporting if, for example, work stress affects sleep quality and reminds us if we have breakfast before leaving home.
However, the device displays as rivals, incoming calls, received messages, calendar, and social network notifications, of course, time. The company also promises a battery life of 48 hours, so that would surpass all rivals, and loaded by a magnetic charger.
Microsoft has predicted that the 'smartwatch' will be available in the US in limited quantities starting Thursday.
