Android’s apparent dominance in smartwatches is thanks to the Samsung Galaxy Gear, the smart wrist tech with the most presence at retail and marketing.

It seems Google and Samsung are currently at the forefront of a segment of the tech industry that has a lot of room for growth, if the numbers are accurate.

Considering there were reportedly only around 300,000 smartwatches sold in 2012, that growth could be about to tip.
