Samsung Announces That It Has Sold 800,000 Galaxy Gear Smartwatches
Samsung’s Galaxy Gear smartwatch companion to the Galaxy Note 3 was launched some months back. It was a highly anticipated device, given the fact that it was the first implementation of a smartwatch. Samsung beat competitors like Google, Apple and others to launch the device first. However, it seems this hurry might have costed them. Many reviewers and consumer criticized the device because it couldn’t do much and was rather expensive.
While definitely innovative, many felt that the price did not justify the lack of compelling features. In fact, later reports stated that this first major wearable device may have been a dud with only 50,000 devices being sold. There was also some news of customers returning the Galaxy Gear because it was not useful enough. This must be devastating for a company which is completely focusing on showing the world its innovation. Samsung has been criticized before failing to be innovative and Apple’s suit against the company has left them with a bad image which the company has resolved to repair.
Today in response to criticisms of poor sales, Samsung has released numbers about Galaxy Gear. The company claims that Galaxy Gear is definitely the world’s most popular smartwatch, with sales reaching 800,000 over a span of two months. These official figures compared to the 50,000 figure given earlier, shows that the device may definitely have been successful, even though market perception about it has been overwhelmingly negative. There seems to be some confusion over the 800,000 figure though. While Reuters reports that Samsung has sold 800,000 devices, Korean publication Yonhap says that the number is indicative of the total number of devices shipped to retailers instead of sales. While there is no clarification yet, it does seem that the number given by Samsung must refer to the devices shipped.
