Another controversial award. The fanboys of all sides will be up in arms. So, how does one determine the Best Wearable? Great question.
Firstly it’s a category of its own – not just Watches, not Smartwatches, this must include fitness trackers and smartwatches at the very least.
Then we get to Smartwatches – there are many, and Apple is far from the first. LG’s G Watch R, The Huawei Watch, Samsung’s Gear S2 – all fantastic, particularly the latter two.
But Apple has done something the other’s didn’t, and created a genuine App ecosystem, this is where the Apple Watch shines, plus, ApplePay, to be honest, before ApplePay launched I didn’t wear the watch much – but now, knowing I can use it to pay, it’s more often on than off.
There’s a long road ahead for smartwatches, and for wearables in general, and say what you want about the sales of the Apple Watch, it’s doing well globally – it’s the best Smartwatch, and for that reason, it’s our pick for EFTM Best Award 2015 – Best Wearable.
