The current iteration of wearable tech (beyond smartwatches) might be half-baked and riding on the AI wave, but wearable computing as a field is promising. The technology has only recently reached a point where it could rival traditional mobile computing. Dismissing the entire field based on these early attempts would be a mistake. If anything, current smartphone leaders would be foolish to not jump at the opportunity to introduce standalone devices themselves. They eventually likely will, and will market their versions as the real innovations.
