Wearable Devices

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

Makeover Monday 0827

This week’s data is a list of wearable devices, and their body location to wear, category, producer,and price. This is definitely a good data to understand the wearable devices market (and if we have the user usage data, it would be even more interesting to look at).
The original report and viz cound be found here.

My Visualization

I created a single viz this week. Each circle is one device type (body location and category combination). The size of the circle represents the number of products in this type, and the color of the circle indicates the price.

Please notice that all the visualizations are designed for desktop view, so it is recommended to view them on a desktop device.
