Pebble's downfall and the future of wearables

With a recent flurry of notable activity, the wearable market looks to be in a state of flux.  

Activity-tracking titan Fitbit purchased smartwatch maker Pebble on Wednesday, and all reports point to the end of the Kickstarter-birthed brand's line. 

Motorola publicly acknowledged its lack of interest in releasing another version of its Moto smartwatch anytime soon, with the company's head of global product development admitting he doesn't "see enough pull in the market." LG and Huawei have confirmed they're not re-entering the field in the foreseeable future, either.
