Microsoft
Band 2
Renders
of the Microsoft Band 2 have surfaced online, a month before the new wearable
is due to be unveiled.
Unverified
images of the band have been picked up by Spanish Redmond watchers Microsoft
Insider. Although the renders look on-the-money, it's important to take the
leak with a big pinch of salt.
The
renders look like the Microsoft Band and the Samsung Gear Fit's love child,
with a curved screen and chunky plastic strap. Unfortunately, that's also the
marriage of one of the world's first wearable devices and the world's ugliest which makes the renders simultaneously look dated and unwieldy.
Microsoft's
chief operating officer Kevin Turner confirmed that Microsoft was working on a
second iteration of its fitness tracker back in July last year. And rumour has it that
the Microsoft Band 2 will be unveiled alongside a bevy of other new hardware at
a 6 October 2015 event.
