No Tag? Very happy with mine, even when 'crippled' with an iOS counterpart. And thanks to a sensible upgrade plan it won't be utterly worthless in 2 years; that is quite satisfying to know :)
 
Pebbles don't play a role in the upper market.

Not sure what you consider "upper market," but most Fitbits are under $200. Samsung has a few sub $200 models.

Pebbles are probably not included because the number of clowns you could fit in a VW Beetle is greater than Pebble's marketshare. It has nothing to do each respective companies price points.
 
The stars and the score are not connected in the way you're thinking they appear to be. JD Power has always been that way. It does make for a confusing read.

I'm with you, there's 10 point difference between the Samsung and Watch, over a score of 800. Rating the Samsung with three less stars doesn't seem to fit with the customer satisfaction rating.

Thanks!

I do love my Watch, but got it from/for work. Not sure I would have paid for it. It is a nice fitbit for my use case.

My cousin's husband has a samsung watch and he loves it. It seemed to big (ironically), but has nice features, like being able to put a sim in and go phoneless. For cycling or running, this is pretty neat.

In short, a chart doesn't apply if you are happy with what you have. The best product is the one you like!
 
It can be the greatest watch in the world; it's not going to give you any more time.

I'm glad people are enjoying their watches, but for me, I'll use my phone for texts, emails, call notifications, and time.

#1 in one of the worst consumer markets that ever existed, even Apple couldn't make smartwatches a thing people actually want to buy in general.

The upper market share, I meant
Fitbits are smartwatches? They call itself the Blaze a Fitness Watch.
 
So it sucks just a little bit less than others. Good to know.

The Apple Watch has perfect hardware, no issues, no deterioration of any kind after more than one year, including the white strap.

battery ends the day at >50%

software had no issues whatsoever, no crashes, no freezes, nich. I use several functions, several times a day, and some of them, like locating a lost iPhone, or constant HR measuring, are now essential to me.

OS3 is just around the corner, and it basically transforms the Watch into a new, speedy gadget.

Apple has already surpassed Rolex' revenues, and from here they will only go up.

Suck does not.

Sucks for me and it's square. Ive should be sacked for that rounded rectangle with a non rounded display and absolutely horrible bezel.

You are confusing the Apple Watch with the Pebble, apparently. You can't see the bezels at all on the AW.

Woah... there is a significant difference between Apple and everyone else, yet the average would imply that Apple's share also equals all the others combined too. I've very happy with mine and wear it daily since I got it.
 
And by the math, it leads by about 1% over Samsung. Not a HUGE deal.

(And I'm an Apple Watch wearer. I'm just also realistic)

I think you are making an assumption that the number scale and the power circle rating are the same scale and I'm guessing that they are not.
 
I really like mine too. Can't wait for the improvements watchOS 3 brings.

Improved so many aspects of my life. No single life changing feature, but lots and lots of little improvements.

- Walking and cycling directions relayed via wrist tap so I've not got my face glued to a phone screen.
- Buying a drink whilst out on run without a wallet or phone.
- General awareness - so often at work I'd sit for hours working away losing track of time. It's nice getting a simple tap on the wrist to get up, stretch the legs and get some fresh air.
- Customisable complications on the watch face with nice nuggets of information.
- Allowing me to keep my phone fully silent (including vibrate), no more annoying buzz when left on a table in a meeting.
- Phoneless at the gym, workouts logged on the watch and music via bluetooth.
- The little iPhone alert to locate a misplaced phone.

Etc, etc.

The only First World Problem I have is whether or not I sell of my once loved but now dust collecting analogue watches, which are so pretty but mostly go unused now.
