    The Apple Watch has been the deciding factor for me staying with Apple. Battery life is great and everything just works. Premium materials used is a major plus. My Moto 360 is all discolored and the screen is all scratched up.

      Because not many buy smartwatches. These are mostly resellers.

        You know, I use both OS's, and all the fanboy stupidity does is show jealousy and insecurity. Grow up.

          sa11oum, 08 Feb 2017BUT WAIT! Apple is supposed to be bad, someone help me out ... moreIt is bad. The market is tiny, they failed to start a trend (old Apple was boss in doing that). It's a giant hole in their bottom line as all the money they "invested" in creating this product has nowhere near the hoped returns.

          If Steve Jobs was alive it would be one of the first lines of products to cut (as he did when he became a CEO of Apple for the 2nd time).

            BUT WAIT! Apple is supposed to be bad, someone help me out here? Fandroids? Come on don't be shy come out of your caves

                RaghavaZ, 08 Feb 2017I am from India and i have seen many using Apple's watch an... moreI see people everyday using smart watches. My observations. Those who look geeky have a huge android wear phone with a round display. Those who look cool! have an Apple Watch. Fitbit Blaze is used by woman. Those or from my own observations of about 20 watches I have seen walking the streets/shopping, etc.

                  I have tried Pebble, Android Wear, Fitbit Blaze and now Apple Watch. You can see why it is outselling the others. It's far superior in every way. Better OS, apps, functionality. Even battery life is really good. I have the first gen one and with the latest firmware and sleep tracking I get over 2 days battery life! Android wear was trying to do too much, it was trying to be an android phone! The Apple Watch is just a watch that's an extension of your phone. Apple gets it! :)

                    ...And it contributes to making users realize the fact Apple became dumber and dumber.

                                Makes sense. Nobody buys that sort of thing. Having 50% of such a small market is very easy. New Apple is so pathetic, they cannot start trends like they used to (AIOs, mp3 players, digital music, smartphones, ultrabooks, tablets)...

                                  fake report? I'm using samsung watch too

                                    A useless device. Yet, its sales again, thanks to the logo.
