A smartwatch has been in existence for about 18 years now. And, one of the earliest proper smartwatches was the Microsoft SPOT (Smart Personal Object Technology), introduced in 2004. The SPOT received information such as weather, news, and stock updates through FM radio. Then, in 2009, Hermen van den Burg, CEO of Smartwatch and Burg Wearables, launched Burg the first standalone smartphone watch with its own sim card that did not require tethering to a smartphone.
A smartwatch is a wearable computing device that closely resembles a wristwatch or other time-keeping device. In addition to telling time, many smartwatches are Bluetooth-capable. The watch becomes a wireless Bluetooth adaptor capable of extending the capabilities of the wearer’s smartphone to the watch. And when did these cool gadgets become popular in the fashion market? The first watches hit the market in 2013. By then, a dozen electronics firms were developing smartwatches. Samsung, Sony, and Qualcomm launched smartwatches in 2013. Many more came in 2014.
