005: The Evolution of the Smartwatch w/ Laurent Le Pen
I’m sure many of you are wearing an Apple Watch, Samsung Gear or other gadget on their wrist right now. This market started to gain attention when the first Apple Watch launched in 2016 - and the market has advanced in terms of technology & sales since then - but the question is, what does the future hold for the smartwatch? Is it the one size fits all model of the large vendors? Or is it better to customise the smartwatches to target specific users or use cases?
In this podcast, we’ll talk to Omate’s Laurent Le Pen, a smartwatch industry pioneer, to find out how he views this evolving market.
