Global market of smart watches (from Samsung, Microsoft, Apple, Google) will exceed 5 million watches delivered in 2014, shown by new analysis of Kanalis company.

Unlike earlier watches, smart watches will have more sophisticated software and more elegant hardwer.
Visible information, sensor-based integration and connectivity to web services will be main characteristics of these watches, but these devices will not replace smart phones, they will be just an addition to them.

Smart watches will be the most important product in category of user electronics since when iPad defined the market for tablet computers, says the vice president of Kanalis, Chris Jones.
Software platforms on smart watches will also be a unique chance for software developers to make apps in health and wellness categories, or sport and fitness.

Hardware design will also be important, especially because users want only to wear modern products. It could threaten traditional watches market, because users of the smart watches will see that smart watches could do many other things, beside just telling time.

A short presentation of one of these amazing watches is given in the video.
