Apple has maintained its top spot when it comes to the manufacture of its smartwatch, the Apple Watch series. However, shipments of the said wearable device have reportedly gone down.

A press release from IDC has indicated that shipments for the Apple Watch dropped from 3.6 million to 1.6 million in the second quarter. Over the same period, the company’s market share for the said device declined from 72 percent to only 47 percent. There are presently five smartwatch makers in the industry today, but multiple news sources have pointed out that only Apple experienced a decline in its year-over-year shipments.

This issue has been attributed to increased competition from the Apple Watch’s rivals, namely, Fossil, Garmin, and Samsung. That said, the market shares of the Cupertino-based company’s could even experience a further disturbance once the Android Wear 2.0 is launched.

Android Wear 2.0 will reportedly be out in early February, alongside two more smartwatches from Google and LG. As the second instalment to Google’s Android Wear series, it expectedly has more feature than its predecessors. One key feature that the first Android Wear does not have is an on-watch app store. This feature will reportedly help make wearable devices less reliant on smartphones.

The Apple Watch may be the most popular smartwatch choice today, but that does not necessarily mean that it is the best option. After all, the device only works with an iPhone. Many of the fitness trackers that are in the market today has the ability to work across iOS and Android.

According to CNET, the best way to further solidify its domination over the smartwatch market is to take the Apple Watch to Android. Giving the Apple Watch Android support will serve as the final nail on the coffins of Samsung’s Tizen and Google’s Android Wear. Plus, the move can also help in convincing consumers who are a bit skeptical toward Apple to drop their inhibitions and get themselves an Apple wearable.
