Bangalore: Microsoft launched a
device called "Microsoft Band" that
will allow users to monitor their
fitness and exercise regime, marking
the world's largest software
company's debut into the wearable
technology market.

The wrist-worn device has sensors
that monitor pulse rate, measure
calorie burn and track sleep quality,
Microsoft said in a blog post.

Microsoft said the device will be
available in the United States in
limited quantities from Thursday for
$199 (124.54 pounds).

Apple unveiled a smart watch on
September 9 that will combine health
and fitness tracking with
communications and will go on sale
in early 2015, while Samsung
Electronics Co unveiled its Galaxy
Gear smart watch in September 2013.

The Apple Watch will be priced at $
349.

Microsoft also launched a health app
called "Microsoft Health" that
includes a cloud service for users to
store and combine health and fitness
data.

The Microsoft Health app will collect
data from the fitness band and will
work on iPhones and Android
smartphones, as well as its own
Windows Phone.
