According to a recent report by Counterpoint Research, Wear OS currently holds a 21 percent market share and is expected to reach 27 percent by 2024.
Currently, Apple dominates the market with 53 percent, but it is projected to fall to 49 percent by 2024. The “Other” category, which includes popular brands like Garmin, Fitbit, and Amazfit watches, currently holds 26 percent of the market share.
