Pebble Time quickly asserted themselves as a serious opponent of many manufacturers of smart watches when at the beginning of this month, this project became the most successful project in the history of the platform Kickstarter.

And I think that now broken record again because funding for hours Pebble continues to grow rapidly. This is partly due to a press event Apple, held on 9 March.

Website TechCrunch notes that the rate of funding Pebble per hour increases with each passing day after the announcement of the MacBook and Apple Watch. On the Sunday before the start of the event, the device Pebble on Kickstarter gained about $ 6000 per hour. A day later, the figure had risen to $ 10,000 per hour, and finally, by 10 March it was $ 16,000.

“When such a competitor opens the door to a new sphere for themselves, only a check for it, you can dream” – says the figures CEO and founder Pebble – Eric Midzhikovski. It is worth noting that the increase in profits Pebble was rather unexpected phenomenon.

Paul Graham, founder of Y Combinator, March 12 in his Twitter wrote: “When I asked Eric what happens to financial investments in the Pebble, he replied that it has doubled.”

Fundraiser for Pebble Time and Pebble Time Steel platform Kickstarter will last 12 days. Meanwhile, they have managed to collect $ 18,490,209.

While the attention of fans of Apple products is focused on the process of preparing the company to start selling Apple Watch, Samsung Corporation quietly becomes the market leader in intelligent hours. According to analyst firm Statista, the South Korean company has sold more than 1.2 million smart hours in 2014. A Pebble, previously considered a leader, able to sell only 700,000 of its devices.

There are now six models of Samsung smart watches, and because of this diversity, the corporation was able to get 18% market share.

In total, according to analysts, in 2014 it sold 6.8 million smart hours, although the definition of which is given by Statista smart watches, slightly blurred. According to analysts, the clock is smart “device that is worn on the wrist, with the indication of time and access to wireless Internet.” It is for this device was conducted monitoring, and that they had sold 6.8 million.

But if so, then the definition of fit and Fitbit Charge with Fitbit Surge, which has sold nearly 600,000.

As for devices on Android Wear, they were sold for just under a million. In just the last six months has sold 720,000 of these devices.

As you can see, the South Korean company is now really is the market leader. Nevertheless, if analysts’ forecasts are correct, and Apple could sell more than 20 million Apple Watch in 2015, the leader’s yellow jersey, no doubt, will leave in Cupertino. It is unlikely that Tim Cook and a team of highly experienced in this regard – leadership is likely to have in your pocket.
