New numbers are showing off some tepid growth in the wearables market prior to the wide availability of Apple Watch Series 2 and the Samsung Gear S3. Even so, the companies behind those products gained some ground year-over-year but, as usual, fell well behind the typical fitness players.
According to IDC, 23 million devices were shipped in the quarter — a 3.1 percent improvement on last year. FitBit, Xiaomi and Garmin took the top three spots respectively for device shipments with market share growth ranging between 4 and 12.2 percent.
Infinite Loop, still running off the fumes of the original Apple Watch for most of the quarter before Series 2 came out, suffered a 71 percent decline in share to 1.1 million units. Even as main models were beginning to be sold, some other models were still held back.
Samsung rounds out the top five vendors with an even 1 million shipments — double from a year ago — and an annual share jump of almost 90 percent. The company rolled out its Gear Fit 2 fitness tracker and Gear IconX wireless earbuds during this timeframe.
| Vendor | 3Q16 Share | 3Q16 Unit Shipments (millions) | 3Q15 Unit Shipments (millions) | Annual Shipment Growth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FitBit | 23% | 5.3 | 4.8 | +12.5% |
| Xiaomi | 16.5% | 3.8 | 3.7 | +2.7% |
| Garmin | 5.7% | 1.3 | 1.2 | +8.3% |
| Apple | 4.9% | 1.1 | 3.9 | -71.8% |
| Samsung | 4.5% | 1.0 | 0.5 | +100% |
| Others | 45.3% | 10.4 | 8.3 | +25.3% |
Basic, health-tracking wearables accounted for 85 percent of the market. Garmin even led a smartwatch market share tracking report for the quarter. Android Wear manufacturers were not logged in the top positions and will not be for the foreseeable future.

If you want to save a Jackson, soon to be a Tubman, on anything this Black Friday season (uh huh, season), then maybe you should tie it with one of your New Year’s resolutions for losing a few pounds. We get it, tiresome exercise doesn’t exactly suit you, but maybe you just need a good playlist behind it.
Well, a good playlist and no hassles with wired headsets… maybe not even your phone!
The Samsung Gear IconX wireless earbuds, which can store and play 4GB of music and track your heart rate, have come down in price on Amazon. Unfortunately, it’s just for the black color, not the white or blue ones, and again, it’s only $20 at this point: $179.99. At one point, that discount was actually $40.
But we take what we can get if we don’t have to stress over getting the Rocky III theme in our lugs.

Doesn’t it feel like Samsung’s latest fitness products received too little attention from the company’s marketing department and consequently, the media, on the heels of their actual announcements? The Gear IconX in particular was pretty much forgotten after a few pre-release mentions by both leakers and Samsung PR, which is hardly fair.Not only are we dealing with “truly cord-free”, truly wireless headphones here, but the ...
