I just tried on every single wearable I could find at CES 2015, and yes, I’m freaking exhausted.

The total count (so far) totals to 56 wearables across every category you can think of, from clip-on trackers to full-fledged Android and Linux-powered wrist computers. Heck, I even wore a smart sweatband.

In aggregate, this vast list captures the state of the wearables industry today; it’s absolutely massive, it’s growing; and nobody’s really figured out how to make these clunky things work seamlessly — save for a few major players. Scroll through our list and check back for more.

The big names

I started off my journey with some of the most popular brands in wearables.

Niche, weird, and quirky

Niche wearables proved to be some of the most interesting gadgets on the showroom floor — one focused on Epilepsy, another on Narcolepsy. As for the quirky/weird ones, this is where you’ll find that super-sweet smart sweatband.

Health and fitness

Almost all wearables play some role in the health/fitness/wellness space. These wearables specifically prioritize it.

Generic

I know I’ll get some heat for this. This group is for wearables which were either designed for wholesale or weren’t associated with a very clear brand name.

I found 56, but many more wearables exist in CES land. Smartwatches from Pebble, Samsung, and LG, for example, are noticably absent from this list; but, there is only so much time in a day.

Stay tuned for our takeaways. Until then, thanks for scrolling!


The next day

I tried on a few more, for good measure.
