Microsoft Band 2 - Large

Google and Samsung have already taken over the smartwatch market with products like LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Fit and looks like Microsoft is getting ready to compete with them with their very own smartwatch. There were rumors out there about Microsoft planning to reveal a smartwatch but now we have reports from multiple sources and a new filing approved by the Federal Communications Commission for a wireless device to back that. According to one of the reports, the Redmond-based firm is planning to release their device at the end of this year. If you are planning to purchase Microsoft Smartwatch in Dubai, continue reading to find out more about its release date, price and specs.

Three different size to choose from

The filing we referred earlier doesn’t include any sketches so we have no idea about the design yet. However, one of the test reports revealed that the smartwatch will be available in three different sizes which means you can look out for three different sizes when the Microsoft Smartwatch in UAE becomes available: small, medium and large. We don’t know if the Microsoft Smartwatch price in Dubai will vary because of different sizes. There are plenty of smartwatches available at the moment so Microsoft surely have to come up with something attractive to grab our attention.

Health-monitoring Features

The smartwatch is expected to focus on fitness and health and will feature a heart rate tracker. Moreover, it’s expected to work across multiple mobile platforms. According to the patent, the smartwatch includes electrical connector, optical sensor and data connector which can make it work as a fitness tracker as well. It will be able to track your exercise and movement using the combination of sensors and GPS. This is claimed by multiple sources so we can surely expect to see these features in Microsoft Smartwatch in UAE when it’s here. A popular tech site is claiming that the smartwatch will feature a UV sensor and blood-glucose monitor but nothing is officially confirmed yet.

Long battery life

If the rumors we have heard about the upcoming smartwatch from Microsoft is true, it’s expected to last for over two days after regular use and won’t require charging very often. It’s a relief if the rumor is true as most of the similar devices require charging every day. This feature is good enough to make people look for the smartwatch once the Microsoft Smartwatch in UAE becomes available.

Multiple Useful apps

The smartwatch is expected to be packed with apps like alarm clock, music player, telephone and a messaging app besides fitness apps. There is also a possibility that Microsoft will add their Siri rival Cortana in the upcoming device. Other features that are not mentioned in any of the reports but we are expecting is easy access to notifications and replying to texts and phone calls right from the smartwatch.

Things that will keep the Microsoft Smartwatch ahead of other smartwatches:

• Longer battery life comparing to other similar gadgets
• People who are comfortable with Microsoft OS might find the UI easy to use
• It’s expected to feature a UV sensor and a blood-glucose monitor which are not seen in most of the other smartwatches available at the moment

Things that might turn into a deal breaker for the Microsoft Smartwatch:

• Google and Samsung has started working on OS and apps for smartwatches for quite a while now so competing with them can be difficult
• Most of the smartwatches available out there are not highly polished yet so Microsoft will have to show up with something more than heart rate tracker to grab our attention
• The number of apps won’t be a lot at first

At this point, it’s really difficult to believe anything as we don’t even know the actual name of the device yet. We don’t know much about the release date or price yet so we have to wait for a while to learn about the Microsoft Smartwatch price in Dubai.
