Will it push more consumers to actually buy and use wearables? A recent Nielsen poll found that nearly half of Americans were interested in owning one -- if only they were not so expensive and geeky-looking.

But there has been a push recently to make them both more fashionable and affordable. Amazon has not released its own wearable technology yet, but considering its track record with everything from tablets to its Roku competitor, Fire TV, it's not totally out of the question.
