The top August 2017 wearable tech ideas offer a diverse look into the future of everything from smartwatches that offer contactless payment capabilities to wearable athletic masks that promise to boost one's athletic performance.
While wearables are often thought of as highly individual, the GPS devices from goTele were introduced for tracking up to 30 members of a team for the purposes of safety. Other notable innovations include tech giant Apple launching a personalization service for the luxury Apple Watch Hermès and smartwatch strap concepts that double as charging devices.
Swatch and Porsche are two leading brands that are now getting into the wearable tech market with contactless payment programs like Swatch Pay and designs like the sleek, sophisticated and all-black Porsche Design Huawei Watch 2.
