you read the title and know Android smartwatches aren't literally dead but they're not far from it either so why is it that Android smartwatches particularly are doing so bad while apples are doing much better because no one buys them and why aren't people buying them because there's no new or innovative features coming out and why is that because no one other than enthusiasts are buying them and there's not a whole lot of enthusiasts out there so yeah it's a downward spiral of failure and if you don't believe me here are some numbers to back that up on your screen right now is the global market share of smartwatches take a look at q3 of 2016 and you'll see that Apple accounts for 40% Garmin for 20% Samsung for 14.4% and then there's that purple thing which is the combined market share of smartwatches of all brands other than the ones listed before 17% not a whole lot and I'm willing to bet that not even the full 17% is made of Android wear watches so yeah it's it's pretty bad now sure it's been getting better a year before that point they were at 7% so yes they are growing but still doesn't matter what matters is the fact that companies are not willing to spend a lot of their allocated R&D funds on these expensive to engineer watches that is probably the biggest reason as to why Android wear is to him so bad another one is just the fact that people aren't willing to wear a watch anymore it's 2017 so why should you what I think goes on in many customers Minds is why should I spend two to five hundred dollars on a SmartWatch that does the same thing my phone does but practically worse and that's a very valid point which brings us back to the R&D dilemma because if LG Motorola and even Google develops new and innovative features that are appealing to the customers I'm sure people are going to change their minds about smartwatches so yes we are in a complicated situation in regard to that at the moment and we're just gonna have to wait and see what happens personally I loved watches both analog and smart ones about like five watches one of them being a way too expensive than Jeanne watch and it saddens me to see smartwatches not being as appreciated as I think they should be I mean they basically got the fundamental components of a smart phone in a much smaller form factor they've got touch displays Wi-Fi Bluetooth even LTE now and they can do so many things such as tracking activities reading notifications checking whether giving navigation instructions music control and playback keep track of your calendar and a whole lot more but it's not enough to bring these Android wear smartwatches to mainstream so those were my thoughts on Android smartwatches at the moment I want this video to be a discussion video so please make sure to submit your own thoughts about Android wear smartwatches in the comment section down below and also make sure to subscribe and like this video if you enjoyed it with that said I'll see you guys down below in the comments
