50 wearable tech predictions for 2018

We like to think we know a few things about what's hot - and what's not - in the world of wearable tech. As is custom for the Wareable 50, we are making 50 bold predictions about what will happen in the wearable tech and connected self in 2018. Yes, anyone can make predictions, but we have previous form in getting most (not all) things right. This time last year we said that hearables, augmented reality, hybrid smartwatches and Fitbit's first smartwatch would be talking points in 2017. The Wareable 50 2018 edition picks out the people, products, companies, startups and trends that are set to have a big 12 months. The list has been fiercely debated in both US and UK Wareable HQs and now we've decided on the finalists - including the number one thing we think everyone's going to be talking about next year. So take a look, and let us know in the comments section below if you think we're on the money, wide off the mark, or you just want to compliment us on our fine list-making skills.
