According to a new survey by Counterpoint Researchers, Apple Watch has the "highest stickiness for any smartwatch brand" in the US. The study also shows that more Apple Watch owners tend to hold off on switching to a different smartwatch brand. According to Counterpoint's most recent study, Apple will continue to dominate the wristwatch market in the US in 2022. According to Counterpoint Research, Apple Watch is the top brand in the US for smartwatches. According to the survey, Apple Watch is used by about 80% of smartwatch users who also own iPhones.

As a result, the tech company increased its share from the previous year to 56%. The maker of the iPad was able to sell one Apple Watch for every three iPhones in Q4 2022. In the same nation, Samsung only sold one Galaxy Watch for every ten smartphones. According to the report, 71% of Google Pixel users own a Google Pixel Watch, compared to only 40% of Samsung Galaxy phone aficionados who own a Galaxy Watch. Our basic hypothesis that consumers typically buy their gadgets as part of a larger ecosystem of devices and operating systems is supported by our consumer research survey. Due to their improved interoperability, iPhone consumers are more inclined to adopt other Apple devices, according to research expert Matthew Orf. Apple and iOS dominate the US smartphone industry.
