The amazing fact which came out by this survey is that Apple’s sale got a decline of around 50% worldwide and this make the whole market to go in downward direction. Still after the decline, Apple has around 47% shares in this Smart Watch market which shows that if you are talking about decline in Smart Watch Market then Apple has the biggest role in decline or increment of the Smart Watch Market.

This Decline or Increment fact can be judged by other things of the survey. Survey reports says that Samsung, Lenovo, LG, Garmin and other have got an increment in sales but the total Smart Watch market is declined which means only effect of Apple’s decline is very big over the increment in sale of other brands.

Ramon Llamas (IDC Analyst) said that most of the customers are waiting for Apple’s new device which means they are not buying the products now and this brings the decline in Apple’s sale as well as the Smart Watch Sale. Jitesh Ubrani from IDC said that Apple still has largest share in market and decline for Apple will bring the whole market down.
