The second spot was bagged by Samsung, which claimed 12.8% share of the market. The South Korean tech giant overtook Fitbit, which came in at number three with 12.2% market share. The report attributed Samsung's improvement in rankings to the success of its Gear S3 smartwatch.

That is not my experience, apart from not looking great it has too many flaws and lack of features to be a great fitness watch.

As someone said, there aren't many useful apps on to be used on a watch. I have both a Gear S3 and a LG Smartwatch with Android wear, i prefer hands down Tizen on a watch, very fast and well designed, everything works perfectly.
