Global smartwatch sales will increase by 500% in 2014

Analyst Strategy Analysts (SA) predicts that 2014 will be the first year of smart watches, and global smart watch sales are expected to increase by 500%.

According to the prediction of wearable ecosystem services, global smartwatch sales are expected to increase by 500% in 2014. We speculate that Samsung, Apple, Sony, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and Google will enter the market in 2014, while the United States, Western Europe, China, and developed Asian countries will determine target regions for smartwatch sales and pricing

The manufacturers expected to launch smartwatches in 2014 not only include Apple and Microsoft mentioned by SA, but also Nokia and LG. There are now reports that they are planning their own devices. The smart watch launched by Pebble is destined to release new equipment - the smart watch is becoming increasingly popular among players.

However, current smartwatches are not elegant enough, and their functions are limited to synchronizing phone information, displaying time, and health-related information, which cannot form a complete ecosystem of their own. I hope the new smart watch can overturn existing thinking and bring more new ideas.
