The Asus VivoWatch Could be the First Smartwatch Windows Marketplace The registration of the mark

VivoWatch makes alarm bells ringing: is this the real smartwatch Windows we expect?

The world of trademark and trade names sometimes plays tricks some companies, who see the name of your secret product is unveiled before launch. Something similar could have happened to Asus and Microsoft, as the recent record of the brand VivoWatch suggests that both companies are working on the first smartwatch Windows Marketplace.

Name registration was held on January 29, 2015, so it is still very recent. Moreover, if that were not enough, the Asus itself displays the name VivoWatch in the database of customer service from their website. For those who do not know, Asus has used the Vivo brand in PC and tablet manufactured with Windows, already well known their VivoTab Smart or VivoPC.

Thus, make much sense to name the first smartwatch Windows and VivoWatch. However, about diving in the registration document of the brand. As we read, is associated with a “portable electronic device for use in exchanging data with an electronic personal organizer or a mobile device.” In other words, a smartwatch with ability to sync with your smartphone or PC.

Continuing with the description, it seems that the device will be able to “receive and display data from a mobile device including text messages, emails, calendar alerts and alarms” and “monitors exercises that can be worn as a watch.” Lighter impossible, we have a new smart watch, but will it be the first to bring Windows?

The partnership between Microsoft and Asus in the manufacture of electronic devices is stronger than ever. Certainly, it would be strange that the only foray Microsoft in the world of wearables is your Microsoft Band and the company does not dare with a clever clock itself. Given that the partnership between Microsoft and Asus is stronger than ever, not be surprising that these were those who were in charge of making the first smartwatch with Windows.

The second generation of Asus smartwatch seems that bet by delegating more functions on the smartphone, although paradoxically previous reports claimed that the device would be much more independent than the current version and would have 3G / 4G connectivity itself to reduce dependence on the smartphone.

As we read in Wareable, Asus already has its first smartwatch in the market-the ASUS ZenWatch- and CEO of the company has already announced that it will launch the second generation this year. Will we have a third operating system to fight Android Wear and Watch OS? What do you think?
