Apple Watch mHealth functionality limited

Parks Associates expects Apple will sell between 15 million to 20 million Watch devices in 2015. The "wild card," notes the research firm, is potential demand in Asia, particularly in China, where Apple products have become very popular, writes analyst Harry Wang, in a blog post.

Vendors are scrambling to make headway in the mHealth wearables sector. Just last week, LG announced its first 4G LTE-enabled smartwatch wearable, called the LG Watch Urbane LTE. It features all the communication functions of a smartphone in a metal wristwatch form factor.
