Fitness Bands were among the first wearables to be launched. Much of the credit goes to the early pioneers in this area like Fitbit and Jawbone to bring wearable industry to the forefront of consumer awareness.
Yet, looking back to 2016, fitness bands market is up for a shake, not just in India but world over. Recently, Pebble, an early pioneer in fitness trackers, had shut shop. And the market is getting crowded by each passing day. By an estimate, there are over 100 different brands just in this space.
