We're starting to see tradtional PC companies throw down in the wearables game. Microsoft's launched their Microsoft Band health tracker last week in the US and HP revealed its own cross-platform smartwatch that's designed for use with iPhones as well as a bevy of Android phones. The Chronowing can easil be confused with a sportswatch or even a more premium Casio G-Shock. 

Created in tandem with designer Michael Bastian, the The MB Chronowing will be available from Gilt on November 7 and in two editions; the standard one (leather, rubber or nylon strap) that will set you back $349, and 300 limited edition ones with an Apple Watch style sapphire crystal glass face and an alligator strap that costs $649. Battery life is rated for 7 days but that's because there are no health tracking feautures. It does run navigations, music app controls and has many basic electonic watch features as well.
