From real-time wellness parameters monitoring to GPS trackers that keep vigil on elders, smart tags to locate missing pets, AI-enabled eyewear to click and upload photographs hands-free to smartwatches, the global wearable technology market is innovating beyond imagination to provide solutions for daily life.
The wearable tech market is projected to reach USD 219.30 billion in 2025
The wearable tech market is projected to reach USD 219.30 billion in 2025, per the Business Research Company. It was a revolution when fashion brands started integrating wearable tech into their designs – Under Armour smart clothing monitoring performance data through integrated wearable technology; Ralph Lauren integrating activity-tracking sensors into its PoloTech shirts; and Levi’s Jacquard jacket allowing users to control mobile devices through gestures in partnership with Google.
It was a game changer for the industry. Wearable tech isn’t about tracking steps or calories now—it’s about hyper-personalisation. Per Health Information National Trends Survey, nearly one in three Americans use a wearable device to track their health and fitness. This widespread adoption is reducing hospital admission and allows timely intervention, which is life-saving for some people. So it’s not surprising that wearable devices like Apple Watch and Fitbit are now equipped with features like ECG monitoring and blood oxygen sensors.
It’s important to keep an eye on the front-runners in this transformative industry as wearable tech gadgets become hyper-personalised, proactive, and data-driven. Here are the top 15 wearable technology gadgets to watch in 2025.
What are wearable tech devices?
Any electronic device that is designed to serve a purpose on a user’s body– be it heartbeat monitoring, quality of sleep, blood pressure, oxygen levels, calorie burnt– comes under the umbrella of wearable technology. In a world where technology continues to blur the lines between the digital and the physical, wearable devices have become lifelines for chronic disease management, keeping track of elders in the family or enjoying the convenience of hands free smartphone camera usage.
Wearable devices have become a lifeline for enjoying the convenience of hands free smartphone usage.
Such technology can be integrated into smart rings, eyewear, apparel, earphones, smart helmets and biosensors. Wearable technology functions by integrating microprocessors, batteries and Internet connectivity to the product so the collected data can be relayed to other devices. From Aspect’s Continuous Glucose Monitoring for diabetes management to Meta Rayban eyewear that allows us to click and upload photographs onto social media, handsfree, several companies are allowing us to integrate wearables into our daily lives. Let’s examine the top wearable tech gadgets to watch out for in 2025 and how they are enhancing our everyday experiences.

Levi’s x Google Project Jacquard
It was a revolution in the fashion industry when Levi’s announced new jackets with Google’s Project Jacquard technology–and continues to be in demand today. The jacket transforms a portion of the fabric on the sleeve into a touch-sensitive remote control for smartphones! The jacket will not only keep wearers warm – they will be able to shuffle songs on their smartphone, use Google maps and make phone calls by brushing the sleeve!
How? The technology combines thin, metallic alloys with natural and synthetic yarns to create touch-sensitive interactive fabrics. These conductive yarns can then be connected to a tiny circuit, no larger than a button, creating data which can be wirelessly transmitted to mobile phones and other electronic devices. The smart fibres are washable and the button circuit has a two-day battery life.
