Of all this approximate sales "pie" about the first quarter of the year, Apple continues to be the sales leader with about 7,6 million Apple Watch sold, followed by 1,9 from Samsung, 1,1 from Garmin and 3,7 million from other brands. These figures are entirely indicative and Apple does not offer data on its Apple Watch sales, but it is true that the figures are quite accurate since they count shipments and Strategy Analytics it tends to fail rather little in these data.
It seems that no one is capable of removing Apple from the first place although it is true that the competition is tightening more and more. We will see what happens this year with the new Apple model that supposedly will arrive with important changes Regarding the current model, the Series 5. In any case, sales of these Apple Watch will continue to be high and more if we take into account the very good prices that can be found in later models of this watch such as the Series 4 or even the Series 2 .
