Watch as dozens of companies unveil “revolutionary” wearable devices ahead of the Apple Watch

Leading up to this coming week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas—the annual gadget trade show with some 160,000 attendees—we’ve been getting emails. Lots of emails. And if those emails are any sign, we’re in for a lot of new wearable devices at CES.

That’s smart, because this is basically the last chance to launch one before the arrival of the Apple $AAPL Watch—the wearable that’s best positioned for mainstream consumer success.

In the meantime, these product pitches below—pulled directly from emails we’ve received the past few weeks—range from the jargony to the hyperbolic to the seemingly potentially useful.
