User Challenges Of Wearables

Employees utilizing wearables in the workplace will present certain challenges as well, said Byer.

One hurdle is that, due to the lack of development in the young wearable market, the battery life for most smartwatches lasts less than a day, which is a major inconvenience for users hoping to utilize the wearables for an eight hour workday.

"If someone forgets to charge it, that will be a problem," he said. "But I think we'll see some solutions to this. Already there are third-party solutions for accessories like solar charging stations and charging mats."

Another problem specifically relating to the Apple Watch is that users need an iPhone to operate their smartwatches, he added.
