Microsoft’s Smartwatch will be out sooner than you think.

The smartwatch is the next holy grail of computing, with everyone trying to get it right. Of course Microsoft couldn’t stay away and is already building its own model.

So far we haven’t gotten a glimpse of the smartwatch Microsoft is building, but we do know some things, like the fact that it will be cross-platform compatible and will have the ability to continuously track your heart rate and sync the data to your devices. Tom’s Hardware also reports that the display is on the inside of the wrist as opposed to the outside, and that Microsoft has gone with a slim band design that is said to resemble a thinner, flatter version of the Nike Fuelband.

The smartwatch is rumoured to be out by October this year, and if you are looking for more information, read up Tom’s Hardware article on the matter here.
