To me, the title of this article is misleading. It really amounts to clickbait with no real substance to support the argument that Watch Sales are "lagging". By who's measure are they "lagging"? The answer is by the same people who made the predictions based on thin air in the first place (i.e. if I predict that 30 million watches will sell in 2015 and then 20 million sell, it's silly to discount those amazing sales numbers because I was over predicting 10M).

Apple hasn't released any sales data of the Watch and won't for some time. So, any projections based on things like mentioned in the article: google searches, people going into the Apple Store, etc should be taken with a grain of salt. First, the Watch buying experience is mostly done online and encouraged to be done online. So store vistis may or may not be a great measurement. Regarding Google, people use other serach engines too - infact DuckDuckGo has grown 600% in the past two years and is a popular engine for Apple's consumers who dislike Google's creepy tracking-gotta-know-everything-about-you mentality.

But to really drive the point home is the fact that Apple absolutely destroyed all other wearables in a span of hours within the launch date. Wearables by all other competing companies shipped in the entire year of 2014 didn't hit the amount of sales in the first hours of Apple's launch. Even before the launch, when they only announced, or revealed, the Watch we see Pebble, Google, Samsung go back to the drawing board. I just wish these Analyst would have seen the Watch for what it is, a new product category that is going to take time to mature and grow. Just like the iPhone.
