A brief look at the history of smartwatches

04 October, 2015
While there has always been this belief that smartwatches are more of a fashion statement than useful products, the fact that they have been in existence for decades now suggests that the product category has managed to capture at least some of the public's imagination. With Apple launching its Apple Watch earlier this year, and companies like Samsung and Huawei following up with their own offerings, we thought it’s a good time to take a brief look at the history of smartwatches to give you an idea about how the market has evolved with time.

    Really disappointed you missed out the Sony Ericsson Live View. That was my first SmartWatch and I still have it. Now using the G Watch R.

          I remember the time when there's a watch with a camera that was used more on doing perverted videos. Now that the technology has been improved. No wonder these smartwatches cost a fortune. More expensive than having a ps vita.

              Interesting article, although the Apple Watch is a notable omission.

                Nothing about Vector Watch? I think it's the only one that makes sense at the moment...
