"The wearables market is growing strong, and their unique form factors will help drives sales for the holidays," said Harry Wang, director of Health and Mobile Product Research at Parks Associates. "Smart watches are particularly popular among broadband households with children. Eleven percent of U.S. broadband households with children have a smart watch, and 16% plan to buy one by midyear 2016. The smart watch has significant connected health applications, but family-oriented use cases will also help grow and maintain the device's popularity."
