Wearable Tech Trends - Activity Trackers and Smart Watches - CES 2014

A I T

AiT makes apps and services for Sports & Fitness.We attended CES2014 and wrote up some notes to share with our team when we got home. We thought others might find these useful too. We’re mainly interested in waterproof devices and sports and fitness so it’s written from this perspective.

This deck covers the main device types, a possible market segmentation and a brief summary of each device. We’ve also included other wearable references and inspiration we spotted at CES2014. Feel free to get in touch with any questions.We’d also recommend the newly launched wearables database http://vandrico.com/database

A I T

Thoughts • 3 groups appear to be emerging. The specialist sports/ single activity trackers, the broader more generic activity trackers

and the new smart watch category.

• Specialist/ Single Sport Trackers

• Credible user cases, focus on data/insights and coaching/performance. These companies tend to have established creds in hardware, devices more likely to be waterproof, less likely to be open and less likely to be tethered to mobile

• Multi-Activity Trackers

• Vast array of clips, badges bands, brooches, ear pieces and headsets but *mostly* indistinguishable technically. Major players are FitBit, Nike+ and Jawbone but lots of new devices snapping at their heels. Again, less likely to be open- although Razer Nabu activity band announced 10K developers signed up to their developer programme.

• Relationship between this type of tracker and the mobile often blurred. The mobile *could” swallow this device as the sensor specs of mobile accelerating - need to define their role/environment vs the mobile.

• Opportunities for behavioural change, niche focus like sleep tracking or niche segments like Corporate Well-being - or like the Ibitz application for children.

• Need to balance credible user cases with form-factor/aesthetic - Shine were the first to focus on fashion, FitBit announced a collaboration with fashion brand Tory Butch - these devices have to avoid ‘Blue douche syndrome’ (Wired US http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/12/wearable-computers/)

• Smart Watches show promise.

• Currently not sure which category they fall into - mobile accessory/add on, watch or a new category of their own? If tablets become so commonplace - could you dare to imagine them displacing our much loved mobiles?

• Pebble leading the market by a fair stretch and smart watches more likely to be open platforms

• Main conclusion. Wearable Hardware IS HARD but it’s getting easier and cheaper.

Fitbit

Fitbit had a big presence at CES. Unsurprising for a business that’s had $96m investment, 180 employees and shipped it’s first product in 2009.

According to NPD Stats - Fitbit + Jawbone + Nike = 97% of all smart phone enabled trackers - with Fit Bit accounting for 68% of this (Jawbone = 19%, Nike 10%). 2013 Market estimated to be worth $330m with Best Buy biggest single channel [http://goo.gl/mOJxNC]

CEO, James Park came across as smart, realist almost humble. For example, when answering a question about whether they’re looking to provide more tailored work out programmes. His response “we’re focussed on getting the basics right like syncing reliably”

Like many other devices, Fitbit interested in Corporate Wellness programmes (via API)

Flex = waterproof ($89)Force = not water resistant ($129)
