For many years, Google's Wear OS was sitting stagnant. This was to the point that manufacturers were only using Wear OS for their smartwatches because nothing else was available. However, thanks to Galaxy Watch 4 and the strong reception, Wear OS has been given a new life as it has managed to come to second place when it comes to the market share of smartwatches sold in Q3 2021.

Based on a report by Counterpoint Research, Wear OS managed to capture an impressive 17% of smartwatch shipments in Q3 2021. This is a massive jump from just 4% in the previous quarter. The apparent reason behind this drastic jump is that Wear OS is now powering Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4 series; even though it is heavily skinned, it still is an excellent offering.
