The news that Google’s Pixel Watch is selling more than Samsung smartwatches, according to data from industry analysts Canalys, surprised me a little. It’s a very first-generation smartwatch, in that it has a lovely design and a lot of promise but isn't quite there yet to really chase down the Apple Watch Series 8.
Having claimed 8% of the smartwatch market share compared to Samsung’s 5.9%, the Pixel Watch is doing rather well. I’d hazard a guess that various Pixel Watch deals and a competitive price compared to the likes of the Galaxy Watch 5 broaden its appeal. But as I saw this news, I realized that I’m part of this Pixel Watch love-in.
