Less than 18 months after it raised a record-breaking $10.3 million on Kickstarter, Pebble has now sold more than 1 million smartwatches.
It’s hoping to continue that success with new devices and new software in 2015, which promise to deliver a unique experience that you won’t get from the competition.

Asus built one of the best Android Wear watches you can buy on its first attempt, and it is already promising a second-generation ZenWatch that will be even better.
In addition to the ability to make calls without being connected to a smartphone, the device could have significantly better battery life.

Wunderlist has today made its Android Wear component ten times more useful by allowing you to display selected lists on your wrist. It makes it incredibly easy to keep track of your tasks and to-dos while you’re on the go, and it’s super simple to use.

With so many wearables to choose from these days, how do you decide which one is right for you? Are you better off investing in a cross-platform device like the Pebble, or do you want the color display and other benefits that Android Wear brings?
The best way to decide is by trying these devices out before you buy them. Not for five minutes in a store, but for as long as you like as you go about your day. Lumoid’s rent-to-own program lets you do just that; you can sample five wearables for a full 7 days before deciding which one you want to buy, and if you don’t like any of them, you can just send them all back.

AccuWeather has become the latest Android app to support the Android Wear platform, and it could well be the best wearable weather app so far. Rather than an incredibly brief description of the current climate like Wear offers by default, AccuWeather provides detailed forecasts with temperatures, precipitation information, and even alerts.
