“Shipments of the Apple Watch Series 3 could rise as much as 20 percent next year to between 23 and 25 million units, according to new industry predictions,” Roger Fingas reports for AppleInsider.
“Advanced Semiconductor Engineering — which handles packaging and testing RF, Wi-Fi, and MEMS chips for iPhones and Apple Watches — is expected to set a new record when it announces results for the December quarter, DigiTimes sources said,” Fingas reports. “In November, ASE affiliate Universal Scientific Industrial saw monthly revenues jump 23.89 percent year-over-year to $482.81 million, allegedly because of system-in-package (SiP) orders for the Series 3.”
Fingas reports, “ShunSin, a packaging and testing firm under Apple assembly partner Foxconn, is said to be bidding for system-in-package orders for 2018 Watch models.”

MacDailyNews Take: At 5-6 million per quarter, Apple Watch would be rivaling Macintosh in terms of units.
As Steve would say, “Boom!”

It would be very helpful to reference these data. Currently, I am not aware of any Apple validated or Apple confirmed numbers of sales of Apple Watch. However, I am aware of numerous posts and articles based upon opinion and guess work.
Some opinions and guess work are more educated than others. Have you read this article?

“Apple Watch was not broken out as a separate product segment and remained a part of Other Products along with iPod touch, Beats, Apple TV, and Apple-branded and third-party accessories. Soon the HomePod will also join the Other products.”
So how exactly are sales of Apple Watch estimated? I don’t see an equation anywhere. I just see 6 or more variables grouped together.
trying listening to one of apple’s earnings calls, they never reveal nor validate apple watch sales numbers
