“Everything connected with wearable gadgets is undergoing a renaissance at the moment. And that’s not to say none of them were successful in the first place. Competition is coming from smartphones, which now incorporate many similar functions. At the same time, the public is becoming more and more health conscious and active,” stated Mikhail Gurevich, director of investment company 101 StartUp.
