Future Market of wearable devices

The wearable device that I bought a few days ago arrived. It seems like a mysterious look. It is actually a bracelet that can calculate the amount of exercise and display time. It is really important to say that, this is my first wearable device. Wearable devices have been on fire since last year, but the concept seems to have been very early. The best technology is that people cannot feel the existence of technology. Since technological advances, people hope to put technology on their bodies, just like a mobile phone, although it is very convenient, we still hope that we don't need a mobile phone one day. For example, if we put a mobile phone on our body or somewhere, we don't feel the existence of a mobile phone, it can also implement all functions used by mobile phones. There are already a lot of similar conceptual products. Although we have not witnessed those high-tech weapons used by 007, they were already in the lab. During the Cold War, many wearable devices and other hidden devices are available in the two countries for espionage purposes. Although these devices have been developed, they can only be used for special purposes, there are still many things that need to be taken into account to market it, such as security, price, and reliability. With the advent of smartphones, technological advances have led to the re-fire of wearable devices. When I first began to focus on the 3C electronics industry, taking Apple's iPhone 4 as a milestone, it was later an Android mobile phone. Thanks to the open-source nature of Android mobile phones, anyone can use this system as a mobile phone. The threshold for making a mobile phone is very low, therefore, the competition is fierce. When mobile phone competition is in full swing, major manufacturers are looking at wearable devices when innovation is weak, in fact, some people were doing something like a smart watch bracelet before, but they were not very intelligent and could not produce revolutionary changes. Samsung was the first to test the smart watch, and Samsung was very powerful, there are enough R & D teams and financial resources to study wearable devices. The earliest and most molding smart watches started at the beginning of Samsung. Later Sony started to follow up, but their functions were still relatively simple, it needs to be used with smart phones, such as answering calls, receiving push messages from social networking websites, reading text messages, and alarm alarms. The functions are quite limited, and they are similar to chicken ribs, there are still many problems with the product. In the future, the second-generation products will begin to improve the performance.

Currently, Amazon has found many smart wristbands, but most of the features are the same as those of my fuelband, and many of them have the disadvantages of huge deviations in computing, in fact, only one wristband is used to capture the swinging motion. An acceleration sensor is required. The difficulty lies in the accuracy algorithm, because we do not necessarily walk when our fingers shake, A lot of body movements will shake your arm, so if the algorithm is incorrect, the deviation will be very serious. I chose Nike mainly because Nike is a world-renowned manufacturer of sports products, and Nike has its own unique algorithm to ensure that the deviation is not too serious. I have tested it by netizens, nike's computing reference value is still very high. After the bracelet became popular, a large number of bracelet products were available in the omnipotent Huaqiang north. Many of them were very avant-garde and exciting, but I couldn't believe the quality of Huaqiang north, how long has it taken for people to develop such products? If you take a month to develop a similar product, where the quality is better, even Baidu's bracelet is also criticized for its precision. Some of its deviations are more than 50%, which is basically not of reference value.

This morning, I saw a group of data saying that the market share of wearable devices has reached $3 billion. The current market share is mainly Sony and Samsung, these products, as I mentioned earlier, are basically just extensions of mobile phones. They are not called revolutions. Although the market share is increasing, they are still far away from the real fire, A large number of bubbles are not excluded from the concept of wearable devices.

Smart wearable devices rely mainly on sensors and algorithms. When the resources of sensors are similar, few manufacturers can make great innovations. Now, we are looking forward to Apple's iWatch smart watch, which has been rumored to be a long time. We all believe that Apple can bring about a new revolution in the wearable field. I am also looking forward to it, from the information sent from Apple and the comments made by executives on some occasions, it can be inferred that iWatch or similar products do exist, but I doubt whether it can trigger a new round of revolution.
