A Brief Visual History of Wearable Technology
From blinged-out pocket watches to lightning-fast displays, a lot has changed about how we wear tech.
Today, the world caught wind of the $83 manufacturing cost vs $349 price tag of the Apple Watch.

But before the days when immediately attainable statistics about where you’ve been, where you’re going, and what you’ve just eaten were merely a glance away, designers were still creating products meant to bring information to their wearer.

Quite frankly, we think the pocket watch is due for a comeback.
