Wellograph has just announced a new fitness tracker cum smartwatch which they call the the Sapphire Wellness Watch.

The accessory, which is Windows Phone compatible with an app set to be released in July, features an activity tracker and will also measure your heart rate via an LED on the back plate.

The device is constructed of sapphire, aluminium and stainless steel, and features a 2 week battery life.

"Wellograph represents the first fitness tracking device dedicated to Windows Phone users and we’re committed to supporting our customers using the growing platform."

The official Wellograph app will be fully optimized for Windows Phone 8.1, and will take advantage of the operating system’s unique feature such as Live Tiles, allowing users to see information such as total steps and exercise score directly on the phone’s Start screen. The app will sync directly to the Wellograph watch, transferring all stored data effortlessly over Bluetooth.

"Windows Phone is supported by a rich app ecosystem that offers a variety of quality apps and games that take advantage of the platform’s unique features and design such as Live Tiles," said Todd Brix, general manager, Windows Apps and Store, Microsoft Corp.
