“ The Apple Watch will prove a relatively popular accessory for smartphone owners during the busy Q4 2015 holiday season and into 2016 , when the next generation of smartwatch models will be launched ,” said Strategy Analytics director Cliff Raskind .
Raskind believes smartwatches optimised for health and fitness , like the Moto 360 Sport , are emerging as strong alternatives to Fitbit and other fitness band leaders .
