Please, please, please make this watch Windows Mobile compatible.
There was a teaser about it at the very beginning, but I haven't heard anymore about it lately.
That is one of the big reasons I backed this project at the start.

Just after the kickstarter campaign I asked about this and The answer was that Blocks would look into this right away... NO News so far which is a bit disapointing...

The Surface Tablets are now becoming quite popular, while not a "phone" the windows 10 store is now standard on all new PCs. Microsoft also has made it easy to move apps from Android and iOS to Windows. It jsut makes sense to make it compatible with windows store as well.

This is the answer I got when asking for Windows Phone compatibility (January 11th):

Windows Phone connectivity won't be happening any time soon. We're pretty focused on Android and iPhone for now

Directly from the FAQ :

Do you support Windows Phone?

We are working hard on making this possible but we can not guarantee it. If the campaign exceeds a certain threshold and we have the funds for it, we will make it available in the first iteration itself.

As some said before, no WP integration, at least at launch. They're clearly focusing on the OS(es) with the largest combined market share, like many developers do. Microsoft is pushing its devices with Windows 10 and the Universal App platform, so that a program written according to such standards might be installed on PCs, tablets, smartphones and Xboxes. Unfortunately a smartwatch isn't usually connected to anything but a smartphone, so it's understandable that the team isn't focusing on Windows 10 at the moment. On a more positive note, Microsoft is working hard on their Bridge (aka the Android-to-Windows app converter), so when it will become available the team should be easily able to convert their Android app. Luckily BLOCKS performs most of its functions internally, so the app shoulnd't be too hard to convert this way.

Probably no Windows 10 in 2016.
