Over the last couple of years, there has been a flood of wearable technology — from smart watches to pure activity trackers such as Fitbit. So, what’s likely to happen in 2016?

These are 2016 predictions from James A. Martin, writing for CIO.com:

• “The popularity of wearables will continue to mount.”

• “Smartwatches won’t kill off dedicated activity trackers.”

• “Fitbit will remain king of the activity trackers. [But] Competition will heat up for Fitbit.”

• “Fitbit will add ‘advanced sensors’ to maintain a competitive edge.”

• “Wearable apps will become more sophisticated — and expensive.”

• “Hackers will target wearables.”

• “Athletes will embrace ‘smart clothing’.”

• There will be more of a “focus on sleep.”

• “Niche wearables will become commonplace.”

• “Activity trackers will remind more people to stand up.”

• “Traditional watch makers will add ‘smart’ elements.”
