The wearable device has potential to track not only work information of employee but also the private information. This gives rise to privacy issues because the wearable device track the information to which the organization are not entitled.

High cost of wearable device and low battery life is restricting the growth of industrial wearable market

The high cost of wearable devices is one of major restraints that is restricting the growth of industrial wearable market. Manufacturers of wearable devices are selling the devices in the premium product category. Due to this reason the small and medium enterprises are unable to adopt the wearable device. Battery life is another challenge in the industrial wearable device. As the battery space is limited wearable device requires effective power management. Due to this issue many people connect the device with Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi.
