U.S. Smartwatch and Fitness Tracker Ownership, 2022

This IDC Survey looks at smartwatch and fitness tracker ownership in the United States. We polled 1,411 current smartwatch and fitness tracker owners on what brand of device they own, whether it was the same brand as their smartphone, and how important it was for them to have those brands match, how likely they were to change brands, and what it would take for them to switch.

As the U.S. smartwatch and fitness tracker market is still in its growth phase, brand loyalty will be continuously tested," says Ramon T. Llamas, research director with IDC's Wearables team. "Apple is by far the most popular one on our list by a wide margin, yet the majority of our participants are open to other brands — even Apple Watch owners.

What exactly will drive owners to switch brands remains an open question," adds Llamas. "The list of the most popular options — ranging from third-party applications and health and fitness experiences to cost and battery life — failed to produce a clear reason to switch brands. Still, these give brands areas to further develop their offerings so as to retain their current customers and attain new ones.

Please Note: This survey is delivered as a PowerPoint.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
