Another look at the Xbox Watch that Microsoft killed
Microsoft’s Xbox Watch doesn’t want to stay hidden forever despite being canceled abruptly while in development. Late last year there were pictures of the Xbox Watch posted online, and now we’re getting another look at the now-dead smartwatch. It gives us an idea of what the hardware and software would’ve been like had Microsoft kept working on the product for a release.
Apps live on the smartwatch appears to be limited to just four — Workout, GPS, Settings, and USB Debugger. So the unit here, which was leaked by an anonymous Twitter user, was likely a very early prototype. Microsoft was obviously in no position to ask third-party partners to create custom apps for a smartwatch that wasn’t available or even ready to be tested on.
Other features from previous reports included a 1.5-inch display, removable bands, a Kinect sensor, and accessories to work with an Xbox console.
