“Apple’s smartwatch is still a relative newcomer to the wearable tech world, yet it’s already asserted itself as the leader,” Chris Neiger writes for The Motley Fool. “Since its launch back in April, Canalys estimates that Apple’s already sold 7 million devices.”
“That would put Apple Watch sales ahead of all of its competitors’ sales combined, over the past five quarter,” Neiger writes. “And it’s not just Canalys that puts Apple in the lead. Shipment estimates from Strategy Analytics have Apple dominating the worldwide smartwatch market as well.”
Neiger writes, “Samsung, Pebble, and a few others are being left in Apple’s wake.”
