Apple Watch sales estimate: 7 million after six months<article>
<section class="page">

Officially, Apple won’t say how many smartwatches it’s sold. But unofficially, the Apple Watch is already leaving the competition in the dust.</p><p>
According to
market research firm Canalys, the Apple Watch has shipped nearly 7 million units in its first two quarters of availability, with shipments steadily increasing. We can therefore assume that at least 3.5 million Apple Watches shipped last quarter, and probably more.</p><p>
By comparison, Canalys claims that no other smartwatch maker shipped more than 300,000 units last quarter. The firm specifically calls out Pebble as having shipped a mere 200,000 watches (though in fairness the company struggled with
manufacturing issues as it tried to fulfill Kickstarter orders.) Sales of Samsung’s Gear smartwatches have also slowed ahead of the
markedly-improved Gear S2. While Canalys didn’t provide specifics on Android Wear, the firm previously noted that
720,000 watches running Google’s software shipped in all of 2014.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3002060/gadgets/apple-watch-sales-estimate-7-million-after-six-months.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
