DESCRIPTION
Using Lean UX principles to examine the current state of the wearables market. The most developed consumer products are in the Smart Watch space. I take a look at several of the best options to date including the Pebble, LG G Watch (powered by Android Wear), and the Kreyos Meteor. See the biggest challenge facing Wearables today.
