Global sales of smartwatches have fallen for the first time, new figures indicate, in large part due to a sharp decline in the popularity of market leader, Apple.

Market research firm Counterpoint says 7% fewer of the devices were shipped in 2024 compared to the year before.

Shipments of Apple Watches fell by 19% in that period, Counterpoint says.

I like mine but I got it as a prize from a work event. After having one for about a month now, I can confidently say that buying one is not worth the money to me, but it is nice to have.
