2013 is quickly shaping up to be ‘the year of the smart watch’, as early entries hit the market (Pebble, Metawatch, I’m watch, etc). Following closely behind are an increasing number of big players, few of whom admit to working on a smartwatch but all suspected of doing so. Among them, Apple, Google, LG, and Samsung. Whether products from those bigger companies will hit the market in 2013 is a bit uncertain, but I’d say it’s very likely that at least two of those companies will be shipping a smartwatch in time for Christmas. As the early entries show, the technology is mostly here, with issues seeming to revolve around battery life and overall software/usability.
