The report also reveals that Microsoft’s Kinect engineers, including Alex Kipman (the creator of the sensor), are working to build the new watch. This isn’t the first time Microsoft tries to go after wearable tech, back in 2004 the company had a smartwatch called “SPOT” that used FM radio signals to deliver information such as news, stock data, news headlines, weather, and messages through a paid subscription. But it was short-lived as the company discontinued the product in 2008.

Though there still a lot of questions about the new smartwatch, such as release date, hardware specification, battery life (current rumor is two days), and how different from the competitors the watch will be.
