The private sources have put the curtains off of the upcoming wearable technology from the house of Microsoft before its launching dates. Microsoft has also become part of the wearable game right after the big names Apple, Samsung and others jumped into this segment. Therefore, slightly ahead of the apps launched on Mac and iOS App store, Microsoft divulged its Fitness Wearable which is going to launch its first ever fitness band as early as tomorrow (31st October 2014) at the price of $199. The devices will merely be available on retail and online store of Microsoft.
The device gives a battery backup that will last for 48 hours even in a single charge. The device will identify the standard health statistics via 10 sensors such as heart beat rate and many other data points which the other devices cannot be identified, for instance, Microsoft’s wearable will have a UV sensor to evaluate the sun exposure and galvanic skin response through which it can track the stress level. Likewise, other smart wearable, the device can also paired with the smartphone via apps for getting notifications.

Microsoft is thinking a step ahead by introducing cloud based health service mainly dubbed as Microsoft health in which the health data can be collected from smart watch and other devices with a feature of fitness data gathering such as fitness band and smartphones. The service will be available on internet as well as in different software including windows phone, iOS and Android.
The company stated that the smart band and a set of services will grow more in future where the wearers can easily pay the restaurant bill via band and can analyze those events which will be directly impacted over health of sleep.
