With the integration of smart technology into everyday accessories, smartwatches and numerous other gadgets were introduced into the Wearables market. But there was one drawback to Wearable Tech – the design. The popularity of these gadgets was confined to a certain criterion and not many preferred wearing a smartwatch because of its boring or unappealing design.

A quality smartwatch would not cost any lower than a hundred dollars. So, if one was willing to spend that much amount, they would naturally prefer spending it on an accessory that at least had appealing attributes instead of a rather unpleasant looking bulky watch. But soon wearable technology evolved and made a move towards becoming a fashion statement. Renowned brands such as Kate Spade and Michael Kors began to release smart fashion accessories and fitness watches, which drove the very same interested individuals into actually buying these wearables.

The most taxing element of owning a wearable is its installation and set-up. If you are connected to high speed internet, setting up your device would not feel like an exhausting trial. With that said, here is a list of Wearable Tech that shall surely satisfy your inner fitness fashionista!
