One-third of consumers abandoning wearables Posted on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014 at 7:40 am. PT Written by Jim Dalrymple > So far, there aren’t clear signs of quite what it is that smartwatches and fitness trackers are replacing… That’s key. 6 thoughts on “One-third of consumers abandoning wearables” Sounds like a modified “yep” to me. Did any of these things sell in sufficient numbers for them now to be considered “abandoned”? I tried a jawbone Up once and it wasn’t worth the discomfort of wearing a wrist band for ‘who knows how accurate this is’ information it provided. Whatever it is it has to be very accurate and fairly comfortable if I’m going to be wearing it all day long. I would suggest it is akin to abandoning the Zune. I was going to state the obvious pun, but I just couldn’t. If a shitty consumer tech product falls in Best Buy, but there are no customers to hear it, does it make a sound? “…the wrist is interesting…” Tim Cook Strategy: on top of suing the crap out of Samsung lets get them to waste a ton of cash. “MUHAHAHAH!!” – Tim Cook Leave a ReplyYour email address will not be published.
