In the final quarter of last year, all five of the top players in the field saw declines “wearables”, that is Apple, Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung and Google, with the latter reporting the largest – by 46%. Overall, the market fell by an unprecedented 18% in the period, which Canalys analysts said was due to a "difficult macroeconomic environment". For the entire year 2022, only the Cupertino giant recorded growth, by 5%.

Overall, 182,8 million wearable electronics were shipped to the market last year, which is 5% less than in 2021. Note that Canalys divides wearable electronics into three categories, namely basic wristbands, basic watches and smart watches. Samsung Galaxy Watch6 will not be presented until the summer, so it cannot be expected that its sales will grow dramatically by then.
I'm not surprised, let me be a slave to the watch too... A better classic is not to worry about charging, to always see the time and get rid of mini notifications and xxx inaccurate sensors and rely on yourself.
I'm still figuring it out for athletes with performance goals...
Yes, and that's why I don't want a stupid watch, but one that tells me everything. I have no problem charging them once every three days. Terrible problem huh? Another bitch who is a slave to the device grinds this crap. 🙂 you charge your mobile even more often than the watch, but you write this lol 😀 otherwise I own it myself watch 5 so hang in there, you absolute tomato.
