According to the Wall Street Journal:
Earlier this year, Microsoft asked suppliers in Asia to ship components for a potential watch-style device, the executives said. One executive said he met with Microsoft’s research and development team at the software company’s Redmond, Wash., headquarters.

Shares of Microsoft are so far down fractionally in premarket trading, at $28.55 in a 52-week range of $26.26 to $32.89.
