A Nokia-developed smartwatch called the Moonraker never saw the light of day, but now we know what it would have looked like thanks to a Microsoft employee's Tumblr post.
While the Moonraker could have been Microsoft's entry to wearables -- the company owns Nokia's hardware business -- the tech giant shelved the watch because it was launching the Band, a fitness tracker/smartwatch hybrid.
The Tumblr post was discovered by Mashable contributor Evan Blass. That site is now offline.

The Moonraker was nearing completion around the time that Microsoft purchased Nokia's hardware business. The images are marketing materials, and Nokia had shown it off to potential customers at last year's Mobile World Congress, according to The Verge.
The smartwatch is slick-looking, square-shaped and paired with brightly colored bands. It touted many typical smartwatch features, including activity tracking, notifications and swappable watch faces. There's also native support for Facebook and MixRadio, Microsoft's online radio service, and what looks like a button under its screen, although the purpose for it is unclear.
In 2013, Microsoft's purchased Nokia's hardware side, just as it was reemphasizing services like Office on other platforms.
