Apparently, when the person testing out the timepiece was approached, he issued a denial that it was the Microsoft wearable, touting it to be a China-manufactured fitness band instead. After being asked in a more persistent manner, the person admitted that it was the Microsoft watch that was being tested.
It seems that this timepiece does share some design cues with the Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit, which would result in an elongated screen. There will also be Metro-styled icons, although the display would most probably be of a low resolution count. Only time will be able to tell just how far ahead, if possible, the Microsoft smartwatch will be compared to its peers when it is finally released.
