Samsung achieved its highest quarterly shipments with propelling Google Wear OS

According to a recent report by market researcher Counterpoint Research shows that Samsung – which is heavily on the popularity of the Galaxy Watch 4 series and has managed to increase its market share significantly in the third quarter of 2021, particularly at Apple’s expense.

The huge popularity of the Galaxy Watch 4 series has also led to the highest jump in market share Google Wear OS platform that has been around for almost eight years. Apple has run unchallenged in the smartwatches category so far, and the technology giant has dominated the market for a very long time.

Even Samsung, which was Apple’s traditional rival in the space of smartphones, could not make a name for itself with the popularity of the Apple Watch system or the WatchOS platform. As things stand now, Samsung is gaining momentum on Apple’s heels in terms of the market share of the smartwatch, and the recently powerful position is now in serious danger.

While Counterpoint stopped disclosing the actual market share of Samsung, Apple, and other smartwatch retailers, it showed that Apple lost an astonishing 10% market share in one year.

The impact of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 was similar to the fact that Google Wear OS, which had an average market share of 3% by the end of 2020, now finds itself in a comfortable 17% market share. Apple keeps a small lead and currently owns 22% of the world’s smartwatch space.
