Minimalist Wearable

Wearable tech takes on a more streamlined approach for seamless integration

Implications - As wearable technology becomes more commonplace for everyday consumers, chunky wearables are seeing a sleeker exterior as consumers look for pieces that suit their aesthetics and lifestyle aspirations. Armed with the knowledge that the future of technology is becoming an extension of the human body, many brands are opting for thinner and more streamlined designs that can be almost forgotten by the wearer, opening them up to a world of connectivity without the bulk.
Workshop Question - How much of their everyday routines do consumers have to alter in order to incorporate your offering into their lifestyles? Is there a more seamless way?
Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Wearable Tech - As consumers seek wearables with sleeker exteriors, the market is moving towards thinner and more streamlined designs that can be almost forgotten by the wearer, opening them up to a world of connectivity without the bulk.
2. Discreet AR Wearables - The AR industry is moving away from traditional smart device and handheld controller forms towards intuitive and more natural experiences that can be better integrated into daily life.
3. Biometric Connected Rings - Wearable gadgets like biometric rings offer a minimalist, non-invasive alternative to wrist-worn devices, bringing all the features of wearable tech in one device.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - As smart event wristbands become a norm at large live events, brands are looking to offer bracelets that are much more stylish than most to attract the younger target market.
2. Health and Wellness Industry - The rise of wearable technology has made it easier for users to manage their health and wellness, and companies are now developing wearable devices that use electromagnetic pulses to relieve stress, improve sleep, and boost concentration.
3. Smart Technology Industry - As the market for smart wearables continues to expand, so too does the range of smart devices designed to improve efficiencies in areas like making payments, storing user credentials, and locking and unlocking doors.
