The wearable device industry is growing at an incredible rate, and every year we see a lot of new products coming out, from sports bracelets and smart watches to a variety of virtual reality-based, augmented reality headsets. While wearables are currently an emerging industry, after a few years, when we look back at the years when the industry is just getting started, these can be very daring or uncertain factors. At that time, someone will say that "the days when there is no virtual reality are boring" and "I don't believe that the products at that time are like this".
Although not all wearable devices are excellent now, some of them are enough to be included in the "Hall of Fame" for the development of the wearable device industry, even with milestone significance. These products will be remembered in the future.
Fitbit Flex
Fitbit is now synonymous with sports bracelets and has become the most successful representative company in the industry. Although there were many more sophisticated products, we believe that Fitbit Flex is the company's first product to be remembered.
The original generation of Flex is a very simple product that tracks the number of steps and sleep and displays all the most basic information through a small LED screen. At the same time, Flex achieved very good results after the launch, and sales reached millions, which also established Fitbit's position as the best sports bracelet product company.
Flex is Fitbit's first sports bracelet. Previously Fitbit only introduced a clothes-style motion sensor, and even after three years, Flex's design is still not outdated. In the years that followed, Fitbit found more ways to track user movement data and began to build an ecosystem of its own.
Oculus Rift
You might think that HTC Vive is the best virtual reality system available, but it must be acknowledged that Oculus Rift is more commendable in terms of development history. In 2012, Oculus Rift was a small team from the Kickstarter crowdfunding site, presenting a rather fantastic project for many people. And when it scored amazing crowdfunding on Kickstarter, this dream turned out to be a reality. That's right, Oculus Rift promises to "always change the way we play," and it is Oculus Rift that has opened up a new era of virtual reality that is promising and just beginning to rise.
Although being bought by Facebook has made some fans dissatisfied, the strong financial and technical support of Facebook will definitely help the future Oculus Rift achieve a more ambitious vision. Today, Oculus Rift has several developers and preview improvements, and the first generation of consumer version of Oculus Rift 1.0 has a special place in the minds of all virtual reality enthusiasts.
But let's first take a look at it. The first generation Oculus Rift was not really good looking.
Pebble 1.0
Pebble's history is short and brilliant. In 2016, Pebble was officially acquired by Fitbit. Unfortunately, we will not see any new products in the future. Fitbit is only interested in Pebble's software and systems, so it will not continue to develop new products, but Pebble's smart watches should never be forgotten by us.
The first Pebble smart watch, like the Oculus Rift, was also from the Kickstarter crowdfunding site, and Pebble was more successful than the Oculus Rift, which set off a boom in the industry.
It is Pebble that proves that smart watches are a very reasonable form of wearable device, and it adheres to the minimalist geek design style and has been updated several generations. Although it was failed by the acquisition of Fitbit, it was Pebble that set off a wave of smart watches. At the same time, the combination of red and black has become a classic element in the field of smart watches.
GoPro Hero (2004)
Nick Woodman hopes to be able to make a video when he is surfing, but at the time there was no product he wanted on the market. So he made the world's first GoPro Hero. This 35mm camera was introduced in 2004, even without a battery, completely mechanical construction.
Now, GoPro has become synonymous with the field of sports cameras through the development of generations, but as a pioneer, their original appearance is very worthy of our attention.
Google Glass
To say the list of wearables "Hall of Fame", there must be no famous Google Glass smart glasses. This is a product developed by Google Labs that is full of whimsy and controversy. The smart glasses can capture video, display smartphone notifications and control via voice commands, but due to the awkward shape, privacy issues and unfailed prices, Google finally announced in 2015 that it would hide the Google Glass project. I have not seen any follow-up products until now.
Perhaps the failure of Google Glass proves that it is just a concept product, but it has played a leading role in exploring more forms and functions for future wearable devices.
Apple Watch Series
The reason Apple Watch was selected was not because of its features or design, but because it was Apple's first wearable device. Perhaps in many ways, Apple Watch's performance is not satisfactory, even far from our requirements. But it is Apple's addition that makes wearables a mainstream product. Apple has used its influence to make smart watches enter the lives of more ordinary users, so it is more important to pay attention to Apple's influence itself. .
Perhaps the sales of the Apple Watch itself did not achieve the expected results of Apple, but as Apple's first smart watch, it has greater symbolic significance and led more companies to enter the wearable device market. And it is for this reason that Apple Watch has also entered our list. (Tencent Digital Compilation: Bear)
