When Google showed us the new Pixel Watch 3 with tons of new running features, there was no mention of a dedicated "wheelchair mode" like the one used in Garmin watches. I didn't expect there to be (tech publications often receive details about products early so they can be prepared for their launch), but I still had a small sliver of hope. I was disappointed like I am every year.
I've finally decided I'm no longer going to have any expectations about seeing a wearable designed for wheelchair users from companies like Google, Samsung, or Apple because the wearable market is like the market for every product; it's based on profits and not some lofty humanitarian effort.
