The modern consumer is forever yearning for convenience yet wants to be connected all the time. This expectation has led to the emergence of wearable devices such as Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch, Google Glass and other such devices.
This creates a challenge for mobile app developers as they need to adapt their development practices to match the technology offered by wearables. In fact, technologists predict that wearable devices may become the future of mobile technology.
According to a Tech Pro Research, 92 percent of respondents said they were familiar with wearables, but only 11 percent said that wearables were being used within their organization, in the process of being implemented, or budgeted for future implementation.
