Not wanting to lag behind Apple, Microsoft is preparing its answer to a smart watch in the style of Surface, the report said.

A source inside the company said AmongTech (prototypes of smart watches ) are already being tested by some Microsoft employees.

The same sources said the watch will be available in several color variations - red, yellow, black, gray, white and blue - and that the watch will be made of Oxynitride Aluminum . The transparency of aluminum oxy nitride is 80% of the transparency of the glass, but it is four times stronger than glass.

The Surface watch is reported to be running an adapted Windows 8. It can also be used independently of a smartphone.

Both Apple and Microsoft are rumored to release their smart watch in the upcoming year.
