if we're being honest here the word best is thrown around a lot these days not necessarily for the
wrong reasons for example a smartwatch can be the best for one individual's needs and the
worst for the next but if we were to go and ask the question what is the best smartwatch of 2022
how would we answer that question well with data today i'm going to talk about how the
smartwatch market is changing dramatically and who statistically has the best smart watch or
at least the best selling smart watch and the answer might just surprise you stay tuned
hello everyone welcome to tech it easy leave a like on your way in so interesting things are
happening in the smartwatch world at the moment it's getting me quite excited the market is
really starting to heat up a bit we've had leaks from samsung showing off their galaxy watch 5
possibly a future version of the galaxy watch but it comes with a crazy flip out sliding screen not
seen before on a smartwatch more recently we've also seen an announcement from fossil and razer
stating their partnership they are now bringing out a smartwatch together it looks like a fossil
gen 6 with a bit of razer branding but it's very important because it's now targeting a side of the
smartwatch market that has been previously pretty much untouched and that is the gaming side plus
it's another wear os device anyway the bit that i really wanted to highlight was what i was talking
about prior to the galaxy watch 4 release and that is that google now dominates a huge chunk of the
market not at first glance but when we consider that acquisition of fitbit which as of q3 2021
held 4.4 percent of the smartwatch market that's a 0.2 rise since q3 2020 they are really creeping up
on apple's position four or five percent doesn't sound like a lot but we can now add what ties
and watches had to the mix as well as of q3 2021 titan watches accounted for less than 2.5 percent
of the smartwatch market the year prior it held almost 10 percent so what happened well as we
well know the galaxy watch 4 released on where os which took were os from holding just 3.2 percent
of the market to a whopping 17.3 so if we add google fitbit and tizen together as it stands from
q3 2021 you get a total of 24.1 percent that's almost a quarter of the entire smartwatch market
held by wear os now here's where it gets really interesting and quite exciting apple as of q3
2020 actually held 28 of the entire smartwatch market so well over a quarter as of q3 2021
they now hold 21.8 of the smartwatch market a 6.2 percent decrease over the past 12 months
putting it in theory just behind wear os with fossil also launching new watches on wear os
i suspect that that number has only risen since the data was taken so we were all complaining
and many of us still are over the death of tizen but actually in reality the move has been huge
and could quite possibly have been the right move to make now other things that could dramatically
shake things up are the rumors of the pixel watch and yes yes i know we get these rumors
every single year but if you think about it this would now be the perfect time for google
to actually release their pixel watch onto the market it would only increase their dominance
and with their relatively successful google pixel 6 they might bring more people into the ecosystem
this would really start to hammer apple further down the list where os's next big competitor
after apple is actually amazfit to actually hold 5.8 percent of the smartwatch market
as of q3 2021 a monumental gap meaning that really there's only really google and apple
in the game at the moment so it's apple's move when it comes to the smartwatch market now and
as the competition heats up it's really exciting to see what apple and google would bring to the
table next as google will certainly not be able to relax they need to work to retain their position
and apple are gonna have to put some work in to top out google again so from this data can we
deduce what the best smart watch is well you would think that possibly the galaxy watch 4 is the best
smartwatch and it's certainly the best-selling wear os device but when you consider that 24-25
of the market the wear os currently holds samsung probably only hold 50 percent of that at best so
when it comes to the best-selling smart watch of all time it is still the apple watch so let me
know what you think in the comment section tell me what you're excited for next and if you want
a little bit more information on the upcoming galaxy watch 5 or another future version of
