report talks about three different patents that were filed today, all relating to fitness management. And according to the details, the new smartwatch will be able to automatically recognize the type of exercise you are doing — thanks to the total of 10 different sensors that collect all sorts of data, which is then displayed at the end of a session. Microsoft actually calls this a personal training with physical activity monitoring service that can segment and recognize the type of exercises automatically. Scary and awesome at the same time! Previous rumors hinted that the Microsoft smartwatch will come with cross platform support, along with a rather unique design, with the display placed on the inside of the wrist. I guess if you are doing something really good, then you might as well do something different.]]>

  • Still not willing to have one more gadget to charge at night. Besides, my cheap digital watch can do all I want it to plus I don’t need to worry it may be a dead watch at daytime.
