Forbes reported Microsoft was set to release a new wearable in the next few weeks, and this week, filings for a wireless device from the company were approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
The company requested confidentiality for the product details, but it will come in “small, medium and large,” and will feature Bluetooth Low Energy radio, which is common in wearables, according to the report.
Forbes‘ report noted the upcoming wearable will focus on fitness — conceptually more like a Fitbit than an Apple Watch, for example — and will be compatible with iOS and Android devices.
