Sales of smart wearables increased sharply

A Canalys survey report said the smart wearable device market is taking off, up to 684% in the first half of this year compared to last year.

Leading the market of smart devices is none other than Samsung Group, thanks to the 3 products introduced in the second quarter of this year, including Samsung Gear 2, Samsung Gear 2 Neo and Samsung Gear Fit. Not stopping there, Samsung continued to stir the market in the second half by launching Samsung Gear Live last Google I / O.

Canalys said it will monitor Gear Live's sales for the rest of the year, besides LG G Watch and the upcoming Motorola Motorola 360. The survey will probably explode if iWatch's Apple was able to launch this year instead of delaying it next year. It is known that some firms have also halted their wearable equipment plan to see what Apple will do with the iWatch.

Although Samsung now dominates the smart wearable device market share, Canalyst analyst Chris Jones said they need to improve further so as not to resort to a strong discount solution to sell the item. Followed by Samsung is Pebble . Pebble Steel premium product has allowed the company to continue to hold its position in addition to expanding invitations to developers to write applications. Sony returns 3rd in the table.

Smart wearable products need to improve and provide the ability to last for many days. These devices do not necessarily look like watches but must consistently maintain their unique features and designs,
Daniel Matte, another Canalys analyst, points out.

Need to distinguish smart wearable devices that can install additional applications from third parties. In basic wearable devices, Fitbit and Jawbone are in 1st and 2nd place. All sales were very positive globally in the first half of this year. Competition for 3rd place is Nike and Garmin. Nike is focusing heavily on software as well as hardware, while Garmin has a good start.
