Shifts from hardware to software in the Chinese wearable device market

It is now obvious that, product focus shifts from hardware to software. In effect, be they makers of fitness wristbands such as Xiaomi and Lifesense or children’s watches like Okki and 360, vendors focused initially on improving the hardware performance of their products. Now, vendors gradually shifted their focus towards developing wearable device applications and software platforms. 

The product function of children’s watches has gradually evolved from a location-positioning device to meet parents’ safety needs into a mobile device that offers social networking, entertainment and interaction for kids.
