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. Still, while some analysts suggest smart watch sales will grow rapidly, others aren’t so sure. 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.

So, if you’ve thought about getting one of these devices for yourself, bravo for being a tech adventurer! But you should consider a few key things before you take the plunge.

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