The Market, Energy, And Political Page, Part 2, T+28 -- December 4, 2018

Apple Watches: it's not even Christmas yet, but it appears folks are buying a lot of stocking stuffers. Folks in the business of watching shipments are estimating that Apple shipped 4.2 million Apple Watches during the 3Q18. If so, shipments were supposedly up 54% year over year. I remember when Apple introduced the Apple Watch folks said not many would be sold. But note this fro the linked site:
Apple Watch shipments were up 54 percent year over year, with Apple having shipped an estimated 2.7 million devices in the third quarter of 2017. Apple's jump in shipments wasn't enough to make it the top wearable vendor, however, with that title going to Xiaomi. 
Xiaomi shipped an estimated 6.9 million wearable devices during the quarter, giving the company 21.5 percent market share, while Apple came in at 13.1 percent market share. Fitbit trailed Apple in the number 3 slot with an estimated 3.5 million wearable devices shipped.
