I'm quite bullish on smart watches, mainly due to the health applications that seem to be on-route. I've been wondering how this will effect the wider watch making industry? My initial thought is the middle-call watch brands will get hit. Someone looking to buy a Patek Philippe still will but your 25-55 y/o white collar worker will likely start moving towards smart watches.
It will be interesting to see how groups like Swatch fare over coming years. Android might be popular if it lets them make own brand versions via open source software.
- josho 12y agoRegarding the health apps, my understanding is that we would need a breakthrough in sensor technology to make things interesting by adding more than blood pressure and motion tracker monitoring. But, I may be wrong as the sensors available* seem to be capable of more. *http://www.techhive.com/article/2198147/samsung-announces-simband-a-wearable-dev-kit-to-cement-leadership-in-digital-health.html http://www.techhive.com/article/2198147/samsung-announces-si...
