Wearable tech is all the rage right now with established tech companies and start-ups alike introducing new gadgets that help you stay healthy and keep up with your social calendar better than anything you can't put on your wrist.
However, just because there's a lot of something in the market doesn't mean people are going to immediately respond to it well. Though an NPD Group study published in January found that 52 percent of consumers say they've heard of wearable devices, people may not be introducing them into their lives as much as we previously thought.
According to PwC's The Wearable Future report, 33 percent of people that bought a piece of wearable tech more than a year ago now say that they don't use the device much or don't use it at all. Perhaps some of those devices include the Fitbit Force, which was recalled after reports stated that wearing the device caused skin irritation and blistering. Poor, lonely Fitbit sitting all alone on a shelf. Pixar should make a movie about it.
