It would be helpful if there was a new category for non-cell phone mobile tech i.e, like fit bits and wearable tech (google glasses, watches, etc.)

Disagree. Many of us "regulars" ALREADY think this forum is too fragmented.
It's going to take a VERY long time for a "Wearable" forum to attract enough posts and threads to warrant its own forum.

I think it would be even more confusing. Android and Apple watches could go with either Consumer Electronics or Cellphones (because they work best with phones).

Well I understand what you're saying however as a "regular" also since 2006, I think it would be very helpful.

This should be "Cell Phones and Tablets".

"Cell phones and Smart Phones"??? Smart Phones ARE Cell Phones.

Maybe: Cell Phones, Tablets and Wearables??

That would be best. The title right now makes no sense.

Also know as The Internet of Things.

I agree, we are not quite there yet.

I think SmartPhones is a good category, but another category should be "Other Mobile Tech (Wearables, watches, etc.)".

The existing title is redundant.

"Other Mobile Tech" to include what?

"Wearable and watches" is redundant, too. What else is there that won't fit somewhere else?

Again, I can count on ONE hand the # of threads re: wearable in this forum. once I created that got like 2 replies.
There is not nearly enough interest here for that to be completely separate at this time.
