Ditto
Kickstarter, funded
Ditto, made by the company Simple Matters, is true to their name: it's one of the most simple wearables I've seen. This tiny device is designed to let you keep your phone in your pocket more, by alerting you to important events. It lets you set a list of favourite contacts so you won't miss a call from any of them, and can even alert you when you've left your phone at home or in a restaurant. It comes with a clip and a wristband, or you can just drop it in your pocket.

Venture investors get moving with fitness tech
"Wearables funding is seeing 50% year over year growth, but there seems to be a general shift in being more than just a fitness wearable or health tracking app," says Halle Tecco, founder and CEO of digital health seed fund Rock Health.
