Whilst Apple’s iPhone sales might be falling for several reasons, the Apple Watch sales are trending in precisely the opposite direction with a near 50% increase in their Wearables business for Q1.2019.

The Apple Watch is BY FAR the biggest selling smartwatch. Ever.
Watch out Garmin, the Apple Watch is getting better every year. By 2021 you might have a problem on your hands…I mean, wrists.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.

Whilst the gist of your post is certainly correct (theApple Watch is getting more popular), for the moment I think the category “wearables” comprises the Apple Watch but also AirPods which add significantly to revenue in this category
yes that is correct. the link giveds the full details, the general point stands.
You can’t help in thinking that the timing Apple products being officially listed on Amazon in Q1 and sales increasing. This is my point the other day about not fighting with the number 1 retailer regardless of who you are
probably true but i don’t think we will ever know the juicy sales details from apple nor garmin of how many are sold and where.
i gues syou either figt or submit. once you are reliant on a single point of distribution amazon will squeeze hard.
