Canalys: Apple, Inc. Sold 3.9 Million Apple Watches Last Quarter

The only official metric that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) disclosed about Apple Watch during last quarter's earnings release was that the smartwatch enjoyed "unit growth of over 50% for the third consecutive quarter." Lacking a base figure for that growth, investors remain largely in the dark regarding Watch sales and have to rely on third-party estimates.

Market researcher Canalys has put out its most recent estimates for the wearable band market, and says that Apple Watch Series 3 helped the company regain the No. 1 spot in the third quarter. Apple shipped 3.9 million Apple Watches last quarter, according to Canalys.
