While wearable technology is often associated with smartwatch straps and bands, the top May 2017 wearables show off a great variety in form. This includes contact lenses, bras, customizable buttons and even some pain-relieving devices that resemble fanny packs.
Alongside being used for tracking one's physical health, smart wearables are now being used to measure everything from sun exposure and emotional wellness to sleep. One of the most standout wearable concepts comes from Body Vibes, which prides itself on producing stickers that are tuned to high frequencies that are said to help with anxiety, stress and other issues.
For April Fool's Day this year, T-Mobile took the idea of wearables to the extreme by launching the 'ONEsie,' which promised to provide unlimited coverage for its networks.
