Marketsurfer Destroys The iWatch

How come apple didn't announce their watch sales on this earnings report?


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
This gets funnier and funnier, they don't want to share watch sale numbers with their competitors, all of the sudden....i could bet you that if watch sales were 5 million+ the would have announced the numbers very very very very very very loudly. .....you could tell how pathetic these wearable devices are, it reminds me of 3D tv, they hyped it and it never even caught on.....same with these smart watches, all of the sudden everyone cares about their blood pressure and how many miles and calories they burned running to work....


If we do a bit of back-of-the-envelope calculation, the Other category grew by $874 million year over year. It means that Apple sold “well over” $874 million worth of Apple Watches. It doesn’t say much, and it’s exactly what Apple wanted. “As we said in the past, we do not plan to disclose Apple Watch metrics,” Maestri said, adding that the company doesn’t want to share these numbers with its competitors.

Smartwatch shipments plummet. Just as I expected. ..and everyone thought this was going to be the hottest market for the next decade......these are just tech fads...just like the Tablet market that they hyped and 3d TV.....the next big thing awaiting is virtual reality... Let's see how that takes off....remember Google glass hahah.....

You may be right, but I'd suggest you wait to see what happens as iWatch 2 is released. You have to admit, however, that the demand for iWatch was much greater than you anticipated. Apple has done substantially better than expected by many, and has royally beaten their competition! I suggest you hold off on the "I told you so..." for the time being.

So I was looking at articles to see the sales of smart watches throughout 2014 and samsung came in at the top with 1.2 million units, today I also read that there are predictions for 300,000 apple watches to be sold in 24 hours and over a 1,000,000 in one weekend....it baffles me how long smart watches have been out for and no one has really cared for them, apple comes out with one and the world is anticipating such an incredible lead once they start selling this weekend....so what samsung took a year to sell apple is going to do that in 48 hours? 1 million units???? There are predictions that apple will sell 40-50 MILLION watches in 2017....thats about 10X more than the amount of watches all 10 competitors sold throughout 2014...I could be very wrong, but the hype behind this apple watch is through the roof....I don't understand the hype behind this watch, the phone in your pocket can do 10 million things more...just another thing to keep you occupied and out of interaction with real life...

Here is an earlier post which shows Samsung leading in 2014 with 1,200,000 of their watches shipped. Apple responded in 2015 with 12,000,000 of their own watches shipped. If you call this a failure, than you're a fool!

Apple absolutely killed their competition in 2015.

So apple did about a million in sales on their new watch, the hype continues, apple can sell anything, I think they did more sales in one day than samsung did in one year....

The predictions for sales on this watch are quite high by most in my opinion....

A range of estimates have flooded in regarding how many Apple Watches will be shipped. JPMorgan predicted that Apple will ship 26.3 million units in 2015, and Bernstein projected that 7.5 million units will be sold in the second half of the year, and 20 million sold in 2016.

Angelo Zino, a senior industry analyst of equity research at S&P Capital IQ, told CNBC that he expected 10 million units to be shipped in 2015.


26 million watches is what jpmorgan predicts??? WHEWWWWWW
bernstein 20 million watches in 2016

how many people really need a watch these days, I wear watches but all my watches are no smart watches....I still don't understand the hype behind a watch, people carry these 6 inch phones and now all of the sudden they want to read email and text and get news and alerts on a 1.4" screen?????
ZZZZZZZZZZ


Check out this video of this guy ordering his watch int he early morning hours of the launch, he is complaining that he had to refresh the page for 11 mins and that he now has to wait a whole month for his watch.....I think this world needs a real wake up call....

Cant get the video to upload here so here is the link to a video of this guy waking up to order his cool special out of this world apple watch....

Apple watch sales plunging....of course they are, who wants to pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for a digital watch that's out of date in a few weeks...over priced and ridiculous...

I could not believe those airpods that Apple has been hyping-- what a waste! nothing new and easy to lose By the way, Marketsurfer has been very accurate with the predictions if you read each one.
