Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Sentinel 3 last month, and the reviews have been quite positive. However, the company's market share in the smartwatch and activity tracker segment has been dropping. In North America, the Southward Korean house's market place share halved in Q2 2020 compared to the previous year.

According to a new report from marketplace analysis house Canalys, Samsung's share in the wearable ring segment dropped from ten.6 per centum in Q2 2019 to five pct in Q2 2020. The company managed to ship just 0.4 1000000 smartwatch and activity trackers during the 2d quarter of this year, and that'south a drop of 48 percent. In comparison, Apple shipped a whopping 3.two million Apple Watches, capturing a 37.six percent share of the marketplace. The Cupertino-based firm had shipped 2.ix million Apple Watches in Q2 2019.

Google-endemic Fitbit still has a considerable market presence in North America. Information technology shopped 1.6 million wearable devices in Q2 2020 and captured a market share of nineteen.3 percent. Its market share dropped 12 percentage, though. Garmin managed to ship 0.vii 1000000 wear bands in the second quarter of this yr. Its shipments increased by 27 percent compared to the numbers from Q2 2019.

Lesser known brands accounted for 28.i pct shipments. Recently, Amazon announced its own activity tracker, Halo. American consumers seem to have invested in sub-$fifty activity and fettle trackers during the pandemic. Canalys thinks that there will be a clear separation between casual fitness trackers and more advanced wellness tracking bands in 2021.
