In Pictures: A visual history of the smartwatch
With the impending release of the Apple Watch, the smartwatch market is set to take off in 2015. Here's how it got to this point.
Researchers at IBM have developed a hub for wearables that can gather information from multiple wearable devices and share it with a doctor, potentially cutting down on the time patients need to spend in a hospital.
For wearables to succeed, many people believe technology should be inconspicuous, not popping out and making a fashion statement of its own. Google Glass may have gotten it wrong, and Oakley and Intel may have done it right with the new Radar Pace.
Many alternative mobile operating systems like Firefox have fallen by the wayside while Android and iOS continue to dominate, but Samsung's Tizen has survived.
Is the wearables market just a hobby for HP, as the company claims? As new smartwatches - like Titan's Juxt - keep rolling out, that doesn't seem to be the case.
UC San Diego researchers have developed a magnetic-field network to link wearable devices through the user's body.
Apple Watch users already have thousands of apps they can choose to use, but what is arguably the most important is already wrapped around their wrist.
Federal regulators are weighing reforms to widespread workplace wellness programs that could affect how personal data from consumer-grade fitness bands and smartwatches is kept confidential.
With more than 2200 Apple Watch apps already available, finding the best ones for new Watch owners isn't easy.
