So the Apple Watch wasn’t the first smartwatch. It just became the most popular in a hurry.
Shortly after its debut last year, the Apple Watch set out to take over the market it was late to, accounting for two-thirds of all smartwatch shipments in 2015, according to a report by analysts with Canalys.
By Canalys estimates, that’s about 12 million units with more than 5 million Apple Watches sold during the final quarter of 2015.
