What other wearable tech will be made other than smartwatches?
I have a device that hooks over my ears, holding a kind of metal frame over my eyes. It has these lenses made of glass to refract light, correcting weakness in my own vision.
Japan has always been one of the most advanced countries in the mobile technology field, makinfg watches like this:

Awesome isn't ???
Looks exactly like iWatch. Probably functions the same as that or Android Wear.
Anyway, I think technologies like Google Glass are going to blow smartwatches out of the water. First of all, doesn't require a phone. Beyond that, it seems to me, if you're going to be wearing something and have it annoying you all day, doesn't it make more sense to have it in the more-convenient (for access) location of your face, where it can also take pictures and provide GPS and stuff without having to look away?
'Course, that's only among really rich people--the Samsung Smartwatch with Android Wear is only $200 (vs Glass at $1500). Even throw in an expensive smartphone for $650 or so and it's still cheaper altogether. So, overall the Smartwatch will be the thing. All the people who have enough disposable income will probably go with Glass or similar, though.
