Apple Watch statistics and facts (updated 2026)
Apple Watch

The Apple Watch launched in 2015 and quickly became a defining product in the smartwatch category—mixing fitness tracking, health features, and iPhone-connected convenience. But unlike many consumer electronics companies, Apple does not disclose Apple Watch unit sales or Apple Watch revenue as a standalone line item.

So the most reliable way to track “Apple Watch statistics” is to focus on what Apple does publish consistently: Apple’s Wearables, Home and Accessories revenue (the product category that includes Apple Watch), plus official model launches and a small set of clearly labeled third-party estimates for historical context.


Apple Watch by the Numbers (2026)

Does Apple report Apple Watch revenue? No. Apple Watch is included in Apple’s Wearables, Home and Accessories category (along with other products like AirPods and accessories), so Apple Watch revenue is not broken out publicly.

  • Wearables, Home and Accessories net sales: $37.005B (FY2024)
  • Wearables, Home and Accessories net sales: $39.845B (FY2023)
  • Latest major model (official): Apple Watch Series 10 announced Sept. 2024

Revenue Context: Apple Watch Lives Inside “Wearables”

When people ask “how much money does Apple Watch make?”, the key detail is that Apple reports Watch performance as part of a broader product category. In Apple’s FY2025 10-K, the company reported:

  • Wearables, Home and Accessories: $35.686B (FY2025)
  • Wearables, Home and Accessories: $37.005B (FY2024)
  • Wearables, Home and Accessories: $39.845B (FY2023)

Apple also states that this category declined in FY2025 vs FY2024 primarily due to lower net sales of Accessories and Wearables. Source: Apple FY2025 Form 10-K


Market Context (Wearables Industry)

For third-party market sizing, IDC reported the global wrist-worn device market shipped 45.6 million units in Q1 2025 (smartwatches plus wristbands) and noted Apple’s year-over-year growth in wrist-worn shipments during the quarter. This is not “Apple Watch-only,” but it’s useful context for how the category is behaving. Source: IDC (Q1 2025 wrist-worn shipments)


Historical Apple Watch Sales Estimates (Clearly Labeled)

Apple does not publish Apple Watch unit sales, so historical “sales” numbers are typically analyst estimates or shipments cited by third parties. These are preserved for context and labeled by year:

  • 2019: 31 million (analyst estimate reported by CNET)
  • 2015: 11.6 million (IDC wearable-market context reported by The Verge)
