Although Apple hasn’t revealed any official sales numbers—and says it doesn’t plan to—several unofficial estimates claim that Apple has at least cracked the 1 million sales mark. Google's Android Wear platform only shipped 720,000 units in all of 2014, according to Canalys.

Just as it did with smartphones and tablets, Apple has essentially created the smartwatch market. But don't write off Android Wear just yet. Through a series of seemingly low-key changes, Google is quietly positioning itself for a stronger second act. - A few weeks ago, Google announced Android Wear 5.1.1, and while the version number doesn't suggest major improvements, the update will make third-party apps much more useful. - When Android Wear first launched, Google seemed to deliberately hide their launcher, preferring that app makers focus on actionable notifications. But developers say Google may have gotten ahead of itself with that plan. - "My guess is they went a bit too fast going notification-only, and they found users are confused by the lack of structure," says Q42 developer Taco Ekkel, who created an app for controlling Philips Hue lightbulbs. "The notification-instead-of-apps model is the future, but people (both users and many app developers) need time to get there."
