Xiaomi was Apple’s closest competitor to Apple in the quarter, with shipments of 8.7 million devices, followed by Huawei’s 6.7 million units and Fitbit’s 5.5 million units.

Apple’s total Apple Watch shipments in 2020 are estimated to be 35.2 million, higher than the 27.3 million in the same period last year. The Chinese brand Xiaomi sells a series of very affordable smart bracelets, which are much more affordable than the Apple Watch, and some are as low as $30.
