Xavier Garambois, Vice President of EU Retail at Amazon said that “The advances in wearable technology mean that customers can now charge their phone through their clothing, monitor their sleep patterns and even track their pets.” Garambois added in explanation of the store opening “This new store allows customers to find whatever they are looking for in one place – whether that is tracking fitness, staying connected through smart watches or capturing every adventure with wearable cameras.”
The Amazon UK Director of Consumer Electronics, Andrew Milliken, heralded the store opening saying that sales of wearable tech are now really taking off so the devices really will benefit from having their own store section. However he said that Amazon’s new Wearable Technology Store isn’t just about selling such devices it also is home to a ‘Learning Centre’ including product details, compatibility information, images and videos, reviews and in-depth buying guides, as well as the latest expert recommendations.
