Apple's Watch takes a massive tumble in marketshare. They aren't selling... Everyone else is holding steady or growing.

Just another data point showing that Cupertino is out of ideas and is flailing around for something, anything, to keep the market growth going. Stagnant phone sales, declining watch sales, declining tablet sales, and losing market share in all markets - not good news for Apple!

Bought my wife a FitBit to go with her iPhone, so I guess I helped the trend.

No idea why anyone would buy these kinds of overpriced toys. I’m not much into bling.

[Marie Antoinette]

It’s just not in the budget right now. I will eventually get one.

[napscoordinator]

I have some apple products but will never get that watch.

[VanDeKoik]

I forgot those things even exist.

Smart watches just are....kinda useless.

Pretty, but useless.

IDC decries that Apple Smart Watch has declined quarter over quarter over a year ago 2nd quarter. . . without noticing that quarter was the introductory quarter (May 2015) of Apple's industry leading smartwatch where Apple sold millions. Apple is still selling almost more than all other smartwatch makers combined at more than 1.6 million (which is only a wild assed guess) in the 2nd quarter of 2016, but the report claims Apple Watches are a failure. — PING!

Uh, this is comparing totally unlike quarters in that a year ago Apple released the Apple Watch during the quarter and sold millions. Apple did NOT release a new model Apple Watch during the 2nd Quarter of 2016 so there is no comparison to be made with a new release quarter. Selling 50% of the number one sells of a product's introductory numbers a year later is NOT the sign of a failed product, Dan. In fact, on the contrary, it is a sign of a very successful product.

Hyper reaction to the data... 2.0 is coming in the fall, and folks interested in buying are waiting for the next version.

[Kommodor]

I don’t want a watch. That’s what the numbers on my phone are for.

My wrist has been free for so long that if I need to place one of those leather and metal shackles on it, even for legitimate reasons, it soon reminds my via itching that there is something there that does not belong.

Guess that means I won’t be adding to their list of sales anytime soon.

These things are just a gimmick with no real value. I think the novelty is wearing off now that people have lived with them for a while.
