Wearable devices are hard to pick up and look forward to the iphone effect

If you've ever spent one hundred or two hundred dollars on a wearable device, such as a Fitbit or a Jawbone bracelet, but after a few months, you find that it's been shelved, depressed and in a drawer, so please raise your hands. Even at this week's wearable technology conference, it is believed that people will raise their hands, including some of the industry veterans who are trying to push such devices into the mainstream market. The conference was hosted by the German Wearable technology group (wearable Technologies) to build an interconnected platform for various companies and industry pioneers in wearable industries. I gave up after about three or four months using Nike FuelBand. Wearable technology company 4III Innovations CEO Kip Faifer (Kip Fyfe) said. Pfeiffer said he was no longer using the device because its records were not accurate enough. For wearable device users, managing the data and charging the device will overwhelm them, and the resulting troubles outweigh the benefits. The core problem is that these devices are not only expensive but unnecessary, and cannot attract the attention of existing users. This has become a dirty little secret in this emerging market, says Pfeiffer. It's not just the FA Yvo, another industry leader Lize Dickinson Liz Dickinson said: 2013 The most-shipped wearable device is a chest-band heart rate monitor. How much of a technological revolution is this product to you? Its appearance has never changed since 1976. Dickinson is the founder and CEO of Mio Global, which has not only launched an independent heart rate monitor, but also supplied heart rate monitoring technology for companies such as Adidas. In her view, heart rate monitoring has become a key technology in the field of wearable technology today. Why did 12 million people buy the equipment last year? She said. Although the chest-band heart rate monitor may be the most uncomfortable wearable device of the day, other features do not provide enough value. Despite giving up FuelBand, Pfeiffer's answer was not hopeless when asked how he could increase the viability of wearable equipment: you must find something that people need. We always carry smartphones because people lack it. Pfeiffer that unless wearable equipment reaches this level and is no longer simply a smartphone extension, it will still be difficult to escape the fate of niche products. According to Visiongain, a market research firm, the 2014 wearable technology market is worth about 5.24 billion dollars. But still, the real outbreak, I'm afraid, is waiting for the iphone to happen--to wait for a device that will detonate the entire market like the 2007 iphone. Such a moment will completely change the wearable fate, by then, ordinary consumers will also believe that a wide range of computers and sensors fixed in the bodyis a necessary act. There are rumours that Apple is developing a iwatch smart watch, but it is still time to verify whether it will be a wearable area of the iphone. However, smartphones are an innovation for existing products, and many consumers already have mobile phones and value them very much. The most recognized product forms of wearable technology are watches, bracelets and glasses, which are not available to everyone. Not only that, unless the price, appearance, use and other key factors to achieve a perfect balance, otherwise most people do not have much incentive to use the computer version of these objects. About half of Americans struggle to live without a smartphone all day, with about 30% of them going home if they forget their phones, according to a recent survey conducted jointly by Bank of America and the USA Today. Pfeiffer points out that no one has the same passion for fibit, and that the loss of one day's data will not affect anyone too much. As it turns out, wearable equipment still has a headwind to go before the iphone moment arrives. (PEI)
