In a surprising move, Microsoft hasjust revealeda new wearable which will be powered by Windows 10. The TrekStor IoT wearable will be a Windows 10 IoT (Internet of Things) Core-based B2B commercial-grade device that can connect to the cloud, run apps designed in the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app format, will be using Microsoft Cognitive Services, and will have built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality.

The 1.54 inch screen will be made from Gorilla Glass 3 and the hardware is described as having “the processing power and battery life to perform its line-of-business functions” which could include sending and receiving text and voice messages.

No further information has been revealed on the TrekStor IoT wearable but the official blog post does state that right now it’s being created for work environments and not the casual consumer.

Microsoft has experimented with wearables before with their nowseemingly cancelled Microsoft Band product. The TrekStor IoT wearable will be created by a Third Party however so there will be very little financial risk on Microsoft’s party if this new concept fails to take off.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
