About Smartwatch
Smartwatches are computerized watches integrated with enhanced functionalities such as ability to make calls, send messages, and browse the Internet. These watches are integrated with an OS that can be used across multiple devices. Technological developments in the smartwatch market has enabled ongoing innovations with vendors introducing new features in their products. For example, Motorola introduced hands-free and voice command-enabled smartwatches in 2014. Such advances in technology have increased the number of applications in smartwatches. Though the market did not grow as expected during 2010-2013, the market landscape will change significantly by 2015, presenting high growth. Regular improvements in design (for some vendors it is a 1-month cycle) , shift from hardware to software, MNCs acquiring start-ups, and steady growth in smartwatches, sport watches, and fitness trackers are some factors accelerating the market growth.
