Anxiety, or strategy?
According to the Global Smart Watch Market Share Report released last month by Strategy Analytics, a market research company, global smart watch shipments in the second quarter were 12.3 million, up 44% year-on-year, while Apple accounted for nearly half of the market share, far ahead of other smart watch manufacturers, riding in the market. No dust.
However, this definitely does not mean that Apple can rest assured.
Although Samsung's smart watch market share is not as good as Apple's, its catch-up momentum is relatively strong in the second quarter. According to foreign media reports, Samsung sold 2 million smart watches worldwide in the second quarter of 2019, more than double the 900,000 sales a year ago. In the past year, Samsung's global smart watch market share has jumped from 11% to 16%, becoming the world's second largest supplier of smart watches. Samsung smart watches in the second quarter of the market share increase, can not do without the contribution of Galaxy Watch Active.
Fitbit, a foreign wearable device maker, is not as well known as Apple Watch and Samsung in smartwatch, but his performance on smartwatch is equally impressive, and the release of Fitbit Versa 2 is also worth noting. In addition, Huawei, Huami and so on have also stepped in, whether in the product performance upgrade, or in the technical innovation have changed greatly, played out their own style.
With the release of Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2, Fitbit Versa 2, Huawei Watch GT 2 and Huami Amazfit smart sports watches, it is hard to say that the players of these smart watches will not have a big jump in market share as Samsung did in the second quarter.
Apple's Apple Watch 5, on the whole, is not much better than the previous generation.
In this year's WC 2019, Apple released the latest version of Watch OS 6 system, which has changed a lot compared with the previous version. It can help some Apple Watch users disconnect from the previous version.Apple Watch 5 is still working independently with applications connected, making it an independent smart device rather than relying on the iPhone.
"whether you want to do more on your fingertips or add a touch of fashion between your wrists," Apple said, "whether you want to do more on your fingertips or add a touch of fashion between your wrists, there's always a new dial to suit your mood," Apple put it in Apple's words. However, other than that, what about the other parts?
It is understood that in the past, Apple will continue to sell the previous generation of Apple Watch after launching a new generation of Apple Watch, but this time Apple Watch 4 disappeared directly on the official website, leaving only physical stores and businesses to continue to stock up in the near future.
According to industry sources, Apple is likely to take into account the Apple Watch 4 and Apple Watch 5 in terms of product upgrades, the overall bright spot is not enough, only the screen part is worth mentioning, if rashly to the former price reduction sales are likely to have a negative impact on the market sales of new products, so decisively removed the Apple Watch 4.
Is this an anxiety that Apple is constantly challenged by endless new products, or a defensive strategy that Apple Watch 5 is fighting in the market?
