Apple Watch now has over 100 million users globally, says analyst
Reliable Apple analyst Neil
Cybart has shared a report showing there are currently over 100 million people
wearing an Apple Watch.
According to the analyst, Apple Watch took less
than six years to cross the 100 million milestone.
Some of the data points revealed by the analyst claim that 30
million new users started using an Apple Watch in 2020,
which was way more than the users in 2015, 2016, and 2017 combined.
"At 100 million users, the Apple Watch is Apple's
fourth-largest product installed base behind the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. At the
current sales trajectory, the Apple Watch installed base will surpass the Mac
installed base in 2022. Surpassing the iPad installed base will take longer and
likely be measured in a number of years based on the current sales
trajectory," the analyst said in a statement.
Since the US has been an Apple Watch stronghold for years,
adoption in the country has trended materially high in comparison to global
figures. At the end of 2020, approximately 35 per cent of iPhone users in the
US were wearing an Apple Watch.
The analysis also highlights that Apple Watch has been popular
among consumers because it has a "cool factor" for being a new kind
of product and also for offering unique features such as monitoring activity
and vital signs.
