The future of computable wearable's?

there's alot of hype around wearable's and major retailers now marketing wearable's like its the next big thing?


Wearable's right now is in its early stage and the function of these devices are limited and its not better than a smartphone or a tablet.why you may ask?
The reason is if it cannot perform or have the functionality of a smartphone or a tablet i don't see the reason to buy it.sure it may be lighter,better looking but those are not reasons someone might purchase wearable's device its about functionality and what it can do.

Lets look at few wearable's devices and see how they compare

Google glass

I can't recall how many times i seen advertising for google glass. While it may be promising but are lot of disadvantages to it.

Disadvantages
• its expensive and aimed at certain customers more like tech enthusiasts or developers that wants the latest and greatest technology at any price
• Functions are limited and it may not work with all android devices maybe high end android smartphones
• Only available in the u.s


Advantages
Has the potential to be more powerful and do sophisticated tasks in the future

Pebble Smartwatch

Pebble smartwatch is very popular but again the function of this device is limited.Maybe 3-4 years later they might be powerful enough to handle all your day to day tasks and probably capable of more in the future.

Looking towards to the future...
I believe wearable's has the capability and the desire to succeed in the future but manufacturer and retailers have to work together very closely,ensuring proper research and better advertising about the capabilities of these wearable's devices.

What do you think of wearable devices? Is there a certain future you want in a future  device? Let me know your thoughts and comments
