Wearable Tech - What can we expect?

Wearable technology is slowly filtering its way into the mainstream conscious. There have been various attempts to create smart watches and smart bands. None have made the impact needed to tip the scale where these have become must-have / must-own devices. This however is bound to change as the Apple iWatch is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2015. Apple has a tendency of leveraging its vast marketing power, and loyal customer base, to take innovative yet lightly adopted technology trends and accelerate them into mainstream society. If we are to expect the same effect from the iWatch, then wearable tech is about to become a much bigger part of our daily lives. So with this expectation in mind, what can we expect from wearable tech moving forward?
