The wrist watch manufacturer brand, Swatch schemed to integrate its Swatch Touch with electronic functions, which will measure the personal fitness. The brand is endeavoring to come on the wearable device market with this launch, which is anticipated to be inaugurated by 2015.

The firm and its subordinate company Flik Flak basically designs, manufacture, distribute and service wristwatches. Here it is worth to say that the story of Swatch is the story of a revolution because it has diversified its offerings considerably from the original cult plastic watches.

In 2011 the comapny has introduced touchscreen enable wristwatch, SwatchTouch, which incorporates a meager range of functions like chronograph, alarm, date and time. Now the corporation has professed to integrate it with fitness tracking capabilities.
