INFORMATION WEEK - Feb 17 - Smartwatches based on Google Android comprised 61% of devices in this category last year. Smartwatch shipments reached 1.9M units. Android was responsible for 1.2M smartwatches. The Samsung Galaxy Gear accounted for the bulk of Android's smartwatch shipments. The Gear is generally regarded as a flop. It is expensive, bulky, and compatible only with select Samsung smartphones. The biggest threat comes from Apple and Microsoft. Apple is widely expected to bring a smartwatch to the market before the end of the year.
