5 questions to ask yourself before you buy a smart watch

September 16, 2014

Smart watches have been in the tech news a lot lately—particularly since Apple introduced its much-anticipated Apple Watch last week.

A Parks Associates survey released in June reported that just 4 percent of U.S. broadband households are very likely to purchase a smart watch in the next 12 months.

From the article "5 questions to ask yourself before you buy a smart watch."
