It seems that smartwatches sales do not go by your best time. This is confirmed by IDC (via Business Wire), where say that the Smart Watches sales have fallen a 51.6% in the third quarter of 2016, or what is the same, have sold half that of the same period in 2015. What is this decline in sales? No longer interested in this type of device or is there anything else?
Good, there are that have in features that the Apple Watch original is put to the sale in the second quarter of 2015, but not was until the third that already was available in practically all the world. In 2016, all them rumors pointed to Apple launch a new model, by what not went few which we hope to the fourth quarter of the year to buy the Apple Watch Series 2.
It sold the half of watches smart in the quarter last
Information published IDC ensures that they were sold in the third quarter of 2015, or rather were, 5.6 million of smartwatches, while in the third quarter of 2016 sent 2.7 million units. Which has suffered the largest fall has been the Apple Watch, down approximately 2 million units in the last quarter, which reinforces the theory that those who wanted to buy a watch from Apple were expecting to see what had in September. On the other hand, Samsung remained practically the same, sending 400,000 units.
To explain what is going on, in addition to the Apple Watch Series 2 went on sale at the end of the third quarter, we must also mention that the watches Android Wear market also helps a lot, and by this I mean that they are not leaving new devices that may be of interest to new buyers. On the other hand, they have yet to launch new proposals of Pebble and Samsung.
There are that have in account that the market of them watches smart is a market relatively new and immature. It more likely is that see this type of ups and downs until was seat a little more. What do you think? Interested in this type of device?
