It is true that we are in a difficult time in terms of smart watch sales and that the manufacturers themselves have not launched new models except Apple, but the 51,6% decrease in sales in this year compared to the same period last year 2015It is really high for a gadget that I personally think brings a plus of functions to current smartphones.
Obviously this must be measured and that is It is not the same to buy a Samsung Gear S2, an Apple Watch or even a Pebble, than other types of wearables from other brands that may not be as functional. Be that as it may, the decline in sales is evident and this is also the fault of the manufacturers who seem to have a little side of these wearable devices.
In the case of Apple, the sales figures of its Apple Watch have not fallen as much as in the rest of the companies, but these figures that show us the third quarter in business wire, they are quite devastatings going from 5,6 million devices sold to 2,7 million. On the other hand, in the case of Apple there are no official figures since the company has not published them since the watch went on sale, but the estimates are made by product shipments.
It is also true that the new Samsung Gear has not been launched like the new Pebble models, the Apple Watch Series 2 has not arrived in time to get into these figures but in general it seems that these devices do not quite boot. And you, do you have a smart watch?
