If you had any doubt in your mind that connected wearables, especially smartwatches, wasn’t going to be a ‘thing’, you might want to rethink that a bit. Android Wear and the eventual release of the Apple Watch will inevitably be the driving forces behind the movement. Now more and more manufacturers are getting into the mix with their own designs and wearables. Many are geared towards a specific target group with a lot of fitness pushes. A new one to the scene comes from a classic watch company, Timex, with the release of the TIMEX IRONMAN ONE GPS+ watch.
