β€‹β€‹βŒšοΈ Apple vs Samsung: The Smart Watch Edition

β€‹β€‹βŒšοΈ Smart Devices Are Eating the Accessible Watches Market (under Β£500)

- While luxury’s moat remains, watchmakers have struggled to build hype for accessibly priced timepieces as consumers increasingly abandon them for smart devices.

- Popular upstart brands like Mvmt and Daniel Wellington signal that success in this price category is possible with the right marketing.

- Brands need to focus on their history and heritage: reissues of iconic watches like the original G-Shock have performed well with consumers.

A drop in demand for cheaper watches is causing trouble for Switzerland’s manufacturing base and Swiss watch companies specialising in watches under Β£500. Since 2015, the number of Swiss watches being exported has declined by a third, per the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, and most of that shrinkage has been in watches that cost under 200 CHF (Β£164). Exports are approaching the lows seen in the mid-1980s when Japanese quartz technology brought a raft of cheaper competitors for established brands.

⌚️ Smartwatch Market 2Q21

The global #smartwatch market grew 27% YoY in Q2, per Counterpoint Research. Obviously, #Apple remains on top, but its market share did slip from 30.1% in Q2 2020 to 28% today.

Meanwhile, #Samsung saw its slice of the pie expand from 6.8% to 7.6%β€”an upward trend that could continue thanks to its newly unveiled #GalaxyWatch 4, made in partnership with #Google.
