Nokia was developing a good-looking smartwatch; Microsoft apparently killed it

A bunch of pictures of a smartwatch were briefly posted to a (now-deleted) Tumblr account said to belong to Pei-Chi Hsieh, a designer who worked for Nokia and then moved to Microsoft when the software firm bought Nokia's device division. The pictures were spotted by prolific leaker and gadget writer Evan Blass.

Codenamed Moonraker and bearing product number LS-50, the boldly colored devices had an interface using similar Metro design cues to those found in Windows Phone. More specifically, the interface looks more than a little similar to that used in the Microsoft Band: the watch's apps are presented as a series of strips (scrolling vertically, as opposed to the horizontal scrolling on the Band) reminiscent of the Band's primary strip/tile system, and apps like e-mail have a similar kind of styling and design to the SMS app on Band.

Many of the watch's home screens also look similar to the Band's home screen, with their use of white text on a detailed, often monochromatic, background.
