by · Published · Updated

At the beginning of this year, a survey agency pointed out that relevant data showed that Apple Watch has achieved great success and reached a milestone in December last year: the number of users exceeded 100 million. If calculated by the number of users, Apple Watch is Apple’s fourth-largest product, lagging behind iPhone, iPad, and Mac. However, according to the current sales rate, the number of users may exceed Apple’s Mac product line by 2022, and it may catch up with the iPad product line in the next few years.

According to Strategy Analytics, in the second quarter of 2021, global smartwatch shipments increased by 47% to 18 million. As in the past, Apple occupies the largest share, topping the list with 52%. The biggest competitor, Samsung with a market share of only 11%. Apple’s shipments in the second quarter of 2021 were 9.5 million, an increase of 46% compared to the previous quarter. Apple Watch Series 6 is also the most popular among all products.
 

Although the gap between Samsung and Apple is relatively large, Samsung has seen some growth momentum and may have a better performance in the rest of this year. Ranked third is Garmin with a market share of 8.3%, followed by companies such as Xiaomi, OPPO, and Fitbit. However, Apple will soon launch new products, and it is not far from the release of the Apple Watch Series 7.

According to Bloomberg, Apple Watch Series 7 will increase in size, with larger 41mm and 45mm dials, smaller bezels and flat corners, and battery life will be improved. Apple hopes to have a larger screen to use space so that users can read more information.
