Wearable updates August 2015

  August 22, 2015

It seems like the current winners in the wearable arena are:

SmartWatches    -    Activity Trackers

There have been various major companies producing Smart Watches.  Prior to Apple entering the market (1Q15), the average price of a smartwatch was $184. In 2Q15, the ASP rose 138 percent to $438. Right now the best-selling smartwatch is from Apple.

Regarding Activity Trackers, while not quite as dominant as Apple in smartwatches, Fitbit still holds a commanding market share lead in both dollars and units.

However, even though Google Gasses seems to have disappeared from the market, they will come back.    Google has announced the release of Google Glass 2.0. This time around, Google is targeting healthcare, manufacturing and energy sectors.
