THTV is Trend Hunter's community-fueled TV series powered by our international network of trend spotters. Last week, THTV experienced its first taste of YouTube superstardom as the Wrist-Worn Techcessories episode of the series pulled in its millionth view.
The episode explores one of this generation's fastest-growing fads: wrist-worn tech. The desire to wear one's gadget on the wrist is the result of an increasing demand for mobility. Though most of today's gadgets are small enough to be easily carried, tech companies on the cutting edge know that in order to fully satisfy the need for convenience, a gadget needs to be completely hands-free.
This type of forward thinking is what gained Wrist-Worn Techcessories over 1 million views. Check out the rest of THTV for more consumer insight and trend forecasting.
