Indeed. The global fitness tracker market size alone in 2020 was worth more than $36 billion, and it’s projected to balloon to $114.36 billion by 2028, according to Fortune .
From virtual reality to healthcare, wearables have sped up the future to now.
See how much you know about wearable tech and the progress it has made — and wear your score on your sleeve.
