More than one in ten American adults are expected to own a smartwatch by the end of next year, and the health features introduced in the Apple Watch Series 4 are thought to be playing a major role in adoption.
Research firm eMarketer suggests that US smartwatch ownership will hit 28.7 million people by the end of 2019 …
That would represent 11.1% of the US adult population.
CNET reports that LTE connectivity is one reason for growing interest in smartwatches, but the bigger factor is likely the new health features added to the Apple Watch.
