A survey commissioned by Qualcomm Technologies involving more than 12,000 participants highlights consumer expectations for AI in intelligent wearables. Users are looking past passive accessories that merely deliver notifications, seeking proactive companions that understand their context. Although smartphones remain important, AI is becoming the primary user interface, driving a shift toward connected ecosystems.Respondents are responding more to connected ecosystems coordinated by personal AI agents rather than isolated hardware. A smartwatch might detect a meeting, a car could suggest the route, and smart glasses might quietly display notes. The report found that 60 percent of wearable owners use AI at least weekly, indicating it is becoming a critical mass habit. Average continuous wear times, such as 9 hours for smartwatches and 8 hours for smart rings, suggest their always-on nature appears to be winning users over. Despite the excitement, data points to caution around personal use cases, making trust a gating factor. Almost 60 percent of respondents want to keep wearable data private or insist on approval before sharing. While 60 to 70 percent express interest in advanced AI for new devices, priorities differ: audio quality influences headphone choices, display responsiveness drives smartwatch purchases, and aesthetics matter for rings. Ultimately, 70 percent express strong interest in voice-controlled AI assistants that seamlessly manage everyday tasks.
