 The Diffusion Theory 

Advanced wrist wear has become a huge hit in recent years, companies like Fitbit and Apple have created smartwatches that can track steps and take phone calls. This product worked because it was an apple product and it made life easier. You could count your steps, it would tell you how many calories to burn and give you goals to make yourself healthier. It worked well with kids too, back in high school I remember a ton of kids had them and would play games during class on it and they could also text on it making it without being caught.

I was one of the early people to have the apple watch, me and my brothers I all had the series 1 apple watch. The watch became popular fast and there were a lot of early adopters and the watches seem to be everywhere within a couple of months. The first watch came out in April of 2015, I would say the late adopters happened are mid to late 2016. Now the apple watch market is oversaturated. I say this because there are now six different series of apple watches and one of them being a collaboration with Nike. 

There are many positives to these watches, they are really health conscious and help with people's health. Like I said before there are activity rings that help people reach their daily goals for burned calories, minutes exercised and time spent standing. Another pro to them is that they help with daily tasks, you can set reminders on it and set timers. It can also make phone calls off of it and send texts too.
