While Apple and Samsung still talk up the fashion aspects of their devices, they've now shifted to emphasize something else even more: health and fitness. People may want their smartwatches to look good, but they want their wearables to help them get in shape too.
"The wearables landscape is evolving to a place where health and fitness is now the No. 1 purchase driver," David Ng, senior manager of product marketing at Samsung North America, said during a briefing with reporters ahead of the company's event at the IFA electronics show in Berlin. He cited a report from Parks Associates that said 92 percent of smartwatch owners use their devices for fitness tracking.
