PRAGUE, December 21, 2015 – The wearables market continues to evolve rapidly. New companies from the fashion, apparel, and watch industries, among others, have been entering the market aggressively over the past year. The market is characterized by vendors experimenting with new products, so that their fresh models reach store shelves ahead of the competition. As a result, there is always a rational temptation on the part of consumers to wait that little bit longer before making a purchase, so they can get a device with the latest features. (TZ)
Fortunately, there comes a point when vendors try to offer the best, or the definitive models they have been developing throughout the year. That point is the Christmas season. Current product diversity in wearables is so wide that it is easy to get lost in form factors, applications, and functions that a person may or may not need or like. Nevertheless, let’s try and get a better understanding of wearable products evolution, and familiarize ourselves with the newly-designed devices that are set to become hot “stocking stuffers” this season.
