What surprises are there for CES 2017 wearables?

Technology author Dan Graziano said in the US technology media CNET that since Pebble was acquired by Fitbit at a low price, the sky in the wearable market seems to be cloudy. In the mobile space (including wearable technology), the position of CES has begun to decline, Barcelona MWC (Mobile World Congress) and the company's own press conference status, such as Apple, Google's annual developer conference.

In the past few years, every CES has a lot of popular wearable devices on the scene. For example, in 2016 Fitbit Blaze shines, and there are many smart clothes to compete. In 2015, the fitness tracker became the protagonist.

What will happen to CES in 2017?

Oh, there are not many products.

In the mobile space (including wearable technology), the position of CES has begun to decline, Barcelona MWC (Mobile World Congress) and the company's own press conference status, such as Apple, Google's annual developer conference.

In the wearable market, we don't seem to see the arrival of heavy products. There are several reasons: This summer, many companies launched watches and fitness trackers, and a new round of product cycles has just started. At the same time, sales of smart watches began to decline, and many companies delayed the release of new products. If you are looking for some hot spots, health and fitness equipment is worth noting, but the appeal of these products is not as big as Apple Watch and Fitbit.

Do companies not try it? Not also.

What products will big players bring?

Technology giants Apple and Google did not participate in CES, at least from the official level did not participate. At the show, we will see countless Apple Watch apps and accessories, but Apple will not launch new products, which is also expected, not accidental.

Google has hinted to the outside world that Android Wear 2.0 will be delayed until 2017. At CES in Las Vegas, don't expect Google to bring compelling new hardware. There are rumors that Google is preparing to launch two new flagship smartphones that are unlikely to show up at CES.

Look at Samsung, it is the protagonist of the show, the same, don't expect it to launch new wearables. Samsung's focus on other products, such as TV, home appliances, smart home, of course, Samsung will also take the opportunity to promote existing products, such as Gear Fit and Gear S3.

In 2016, Fitbit is quite eye-catching. In the past year, almost all of Fitbit's products have been updated. It has launched Blaze, Alta, Charge, and Charge 2 fitness trackers. Fitbit doesn't bring much new things at CES, but the GPS sports watch Fitbit Surge may be updated. This product was released two years ago.

This year, only a few wearable companies have increased their shipments and shares. Garmin is one of them. Why? Mainly because it focuses on niche sports watches. Will Garmin launch new products at CES? The possibility is high, we will wait and see. From a historical perspective, Garmin likes to introduce new products at CES. In 2015, it launched the Fenix ​​3 comprehensive sports watch and in 2016 launched the Fenix ​​3 HR. Will Garmin launch follow-up products for Fenix ​​4 or Fenix ​​3 at CES 2017?

Cool concept

Smart watches and fitness trackers have stalled. The pace of innovation has slowed down, battery life has not improved, and many devices are inseparable from mobile phones. For a long time, companies like to show interesting products at CES, and there may be surprises this year.

Many companies showcase future-inspired concept products that are dazzling, many of which focus on health and fitness. In 2016, Samsung showed off smart clothes, and Intel introduced Radar Pace smart sunglasses.

What are your expectations for 2017? I think there are three points worth paying attention to: watch voice assistants, personalized guidance and feedback technology, and extended battery life. These are trends and have been proven in some products, such as the Alexa-compatible MarTIan mVoice watch and the Matrix Powerwatch, which does not require charging and can provide power at body temperature.

There may be surprises

Many startups and crowdfunding products will be on the CES stage, including prototypes. We may see some weird ideas, as well as a lot of "fog pieces", Chinese companies will bring a lot of imitations. Even big companies will miss the “deadline”. At last year's CES, Mio Slice's fitness tracker made me excited. It's been December, and it hasn't entered the market yet.

In short, the 2017 CES is still likely to have surprises, one or two surprises. If there is a new wearable device, I will definitely applaud.

Let the wearable device be a little more exciting, CES!
