The third generation of the Microsoft Band wanted to compete with the Apple Watch in the aquatic environment

One of the new features of the Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch Series 2 is the resistance to water and the possibility of submerging, so it can be used to monitor swimming exercises. However, some time after Apple launched its new Apple Watch, we learned that Microsoft had also been testing this type of monitoring for its Microsoft Band 3.

If you are not aware of Microsoft BandWe can tell you that the Redmond company marketed two models of wearables, bracelets with a curved screen that analyzed our physical exercise.

However, it seems that things have not gone very well for Microsoft with this product that the supposed Microsoft Band 3 is not going to be put on sale in addition to the rest of the models have also been discontinued, that is, that Microsoft leaves the world of this type of wearables. 

Today it has leaked on the network of networks that Microsoft had also been testing its Microsoft Band in water sports and it is that images of that product have been seen in which we can see this available option on its screen.

Now, it is not known for sure if the fact that Apple was ahead of Redmond in the aspect of monitor exercises in the water it has been what has caused this new Microsoft model not to see the light or not.

What is clear is that the Apple Watch is still the best-selling smartwatch and is that an Apple Watch is an Apple Watch. We already know that it could be better, but there is time to improve and surely in a few years when we remember the first Apple Watch, the same thing will happen to us as what happens to us now when comparing a 2006 Mac with the new 12-inch MacBook.
