The Wearables Profile Report provides a side-by-side view of different consumer profiles, offering an easy way to view differences among the consumer base. The report leverages the same data as the Ownership and Usage reports.
The past six months have seen continued strong engagement with smartwatches, and this is reflected in the churn level which is now down to 14 percent. But when we consider reasons why consumers do abandon their smartwatch, the most common two reasons are because they received the device as a gift, or they stopped exercising (or both, of course)...
As expected, ownership of smartwatches has now surpassed that of activity trackers, with smartwatches at 30 percent of the adult population compared to trackers at 29 percent. It’s a small margin, admittedly, but part of an anticipated trend. But there’s a caveat: ownership of smartwatches has actually remained flat in the past six months while tracker ownership has declined.
