No One Is Buying Google's Smartwatches
Posted in: Uncategorized
One question has dogged smartwatches: why do consumers need one? So far, it seems they don’t.
New figures from Canalys reveal Android Wear devices, the connected wrist watches using Google’s software, are hardly making a dent. In the final six months of 2014, just 720,000 smartwaches were shipped, according to internal data from the research firm. Moto 360, the round watch from Motorola and Lenovo, which went on sale in September, was the top performer despite supply hurdles. It led models from Samsung, LG, Sony and Asus.
Google introduced Android Wear last March and made the wearable software a feature of its developers conference three months later.
