Wearable devices are the current trend in technology. Manufacturers from a range of different industries including fashion, sports and technology are introducing many new models to the market. A recent GfK survey carried out in China, Germany, South Korea, the UK and the USA shows that, from the consumers' point of view, well-known technology brands are the first port of call for any potential purchase. Activity trackers are, above all, used to manage fitness regimes in the majority of countries surveyed. Monitoring and recording sporting activities, sleeping patterns and health also emerge as key preferences for applications of smart watches. This may become a problem in the future for manufacturers of "pure" devices that just track activity.
