SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Gearing up for CES, the wearables trend continues to rise and cause feverish excitement for 2016.

neyya has now added a new range of retail partners including SkyMall, MacMall, Donna Karan’s Urban Zen and Aha Life, bringing fashion and technology to the forefront of wearables. Smart rings are a hot ticket item as innovation agent PSFK predicting that 2016’s focus will move away from the wrist to other types of wearables.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled by the continued validation from our amazing retail partners on neyya,” says neyya’s President Sonia Hunt.  “Our primary focus has always been to allow people to be engaged while not being distracted by the technology itself, whether at work or at play.  We want you to be able to focus on what’s important and be productive.”
