Embrace a little everyday espionage with these hi-tech wrist-worn gadgets. Technology enthusiasts have thought up everything from keyboards worn on the wrist to watches for Alzheimer's disease.
Whether it's a super handy device that helps you navigate or just something to make you look more like James Bond, these wrist-worn gadgets are the way of the future.
Implications - As gadgets continue to grow smaller, consumers are increasingly expecting more from their personal devices in a portable package. Designers are responding to this need by creating wrist-worn technology that packs the power of a computer, mobile phone or other larger device into a tiny aesthetic. Companies can take advantage of this opportunity by creating products small enough to be worn on consumers' wrists.
