To me this seems a big waste of time and money.

If Apple captured 42% of the dollars in the watch market they need to add something to the Apple Watch to make non-watch buyers want to buy one. I don’t see that the ‘killer app’ is there, yet.

Annoying headline. I my business/industry “wearables” is what all types of clothing are called.

Fitbit is pretty cheap compared to an Apple watch, but of course very limited in what it can do.

So people seem to like this technology, but just not ready to spend quite so much money for it yet. Sales numbers are about the same, but Fitbit has been around a little longer, I think.

I’d say because it costs so dang much and many people are hedonists.
I can’t believe this junk honestly, no matter the brand. But whatever, a fool and their money is soon parted.

Impossible. All the naysayers on your threads say it’s a flop, a dud, a useless POS that nobody wants.

Apple.com sells the most wearables, accounting for 41% of total dollars, followed by Amazon at 43%, and Best Buy and Fitbit with 5% each.

Typo???

I don't know where they learned percentages but I'm sure 43% is greater than 41%.
