And it is that Apple watches are right now in a spectacular moment in terms of possible sales according to the first estimates of IDC. It seems that the model that is coming out the most right now is the Apple Watch Series 3 and this does not surprise us at all taking into account the great starting price: 299 euros.
The numbers are not deceiving and it seems that the new Apple Watch Series 4 model is also selling well, but less than the previous model. Above these and during this quarter Xiaomi appears with its devices and is that the Chinese firm is entering markets such as ours.
Apple will not give official figures but IDC estimates about 4,2 million Apple Watch shipped
The figures that Apple offered during each of the fiscal quarters on the products shipped will no longer appear, but in the case of the Apple Watch they never mentioned them either, despite repeating actively and passively that sales were working like a charm. . The data offered by IDC are clear and to show what better than the graph in which you can see a spectacular increase in shipments over the same period last year of 54%:
At IDC top 5 Evidently Xiaomi, Apple, Fitbit, Huawei, Samsung and other brands appear. This is the graph in which they show us:
Taking into account the difference in price between the Apple Watch Series 3 and the new Series 4, it is normal that the increase in sales is mainly for the previous model and is that It is not a bad buy today. The clear winner in these estimates is Xiaomi, in this case with its very cheap Mi Band 3 and the official expansion in countries like ours, according to IDC, it has managed to send some 6,9 million units during this quarter and continues to grow quarter after quarter.
