Currys & PC World have revealed their predictions for
the top 10 gadget bestsellers this coming Christmas, and it's laden with
wearables. Atop the podium sits the Gear Fit, Samsung's
smart wearable that tracks your fitness goals, followed in kind by the
Fitbit Force.
Wearable tech has never been so attractive
and it's a bustling market to be in. It's evolving for the better too,
with more people looking for wearables that don't just track, but
connect to other products and can be access remotely. The
much-coveted fitness tech means we're looking at juicier wearable
sales, which are set to grow as the nation continues its health kick - a
trend that might explain #4, the NutriBullet high-speed blender and
juicer.
“Customers are focusing on their health and
fitness more than ever before and portable technology is very much the
future as busy customers want to be able to do more things remotely and conveniently," says Rupert Nichols, Head of Mobile Computing and
Connectivity and Currys & PC World.
"We have seen a
steady rise in sales of wearable technology but we expect to sell a lot
more units this Christmas as everyone will want to trim up in the New
Year.” Aside from health and fitness gadgets, the list
also features the Sonos ‘Multi Room System’, a stylish multi-room audio
system, and the extremely popular GoPro action camera.
