Samsung has once again managed to get into the top 5 with its aggressive push of Gear S2. Combined with other wearable devices, the Gear S2, and Gear S2 classic have sold 0.7 million units. But Samsung has no plans to stop.

“The good news is that the wearables market continues to mature and expand,” noted IDC’s Ramon Llamas. “The wearables that we see today are several steps ahead of what we saw when this market began, increasingly taking their cues from form, function, and fashion. That keeps them relevant. The downside is that it is becoming a crowded market, and not everyone is guaranteed success.”
