Photos:Microsoft's smartwatch to launch 'within weeks


Microsoft is expected to launch a smartwatch 'within the next few weeks'
The firm wants to make sure the device is available in time for Christmas
Rumours suggest it will have a two-day battery life and be cross-platform
This means it will sync with iOS, Android and Windows-based phones
Pricing details have not been announced and Microsoft has not commented on the claims
According to the latest rumours, there will be 11 sensors inside the firm’s watch including accelerometer, GPS and microphone.
Sources also claimed the gadget wouldn't be as bulky as Samsung's range of smartwatches, or the Moto 360. 

Instead, it is expected to be sleeker, thinner, and more closely resemble a fitness band, such as the Nike Fuelband.
Fitness trackers that double up as smartwatches are a hot topic this week, after reports claimed Fitbit was working on a so-called 'superwatch.' 
The rumoured Fitbit Surge is said to have built-in GPS and heart rate monitor, in addition to the pedometer and sleep tracker seen in current Fitbit models.
