So speaks a person who has never owned or used one, who therefore speaks with no knowledge at all of what he's talking about.

Here's a couple of interesting footnote from IDC:

• Vendor shipments are branded device shipments and exclude OEM sales for all vendors.
• The “Vendor” represents the current parent company (or holding company) for all brands owned and operated as a subsidiary.

In other words, IDC did not count any of the Apple Watches sold by all 450 Apple Retail Stores or sold by the Apple Online Store in its guesstimates. Say what????
