The wearable is more of a fitness device than a smartwatch. It allows users to measure several health-related metrics on-the-go, such as heart rate monitoring and calorie counter. It also has notification alerts for emails, SMS, etc. and more. Microsoft recently added a few nifty features to the wearable device, including the ability to track the owner’s weight using the Health app, share workout with friends and the ability to create custom workouts.
