Tech on you
A wearable computer is an electronic device designed to be worn on the body while providing computing functions.
Unlike laptops or phones that you carry, wearables integrate into clothing or accessories—smartwatches, fitness trackers, and augmented reality glasses are common examples.
The category emphasizes hands-free operation and continuous data collection, often monitoring health metrics or providing notifications.
