Functionality, Brand Fuel Smartwatch Choices

June 23, 2015

Smartwatch users want their devices to work well, particularly with their similarly branded smartphones, but they are beginning to consider their fashion bona fides as well.

According to new research from Parks Associates, more than half (58%) of smartwatch owners made their purchase decisions based on the device’s features and functionality. Next among their deciding factors was brand (49%), followed by the device’s design and fashion appeal (30%).

“Our data shows product appearance is the third most important factor. The manufacturers are beginning to pay more attention to the design and appearance of [the devices],” Tejas Meheta, research analyst with Parks Associates, tells Marketing Daily.

From the article "Functionality, Brand Fuel Smartwatch Choices" by Aaron Baar.
