The second scenario, we only see with the Samsung Galaxy Gear, since it was offered as a cheap accessory to your Galaxy smart phone. Certain carriers offered the Galaxy Gear at a discounted price, and for some, such a deal just couldn’t be passed up. So they purchased the device and soon found that their device was unnecessary and try to sell it off to make a bit of a profit. This scenario takes less explaining, but there is one underlying similarity between both scenarios. The smartwatch just hasn’t become a necessity in everyday life just yet.

Though the technology was new and growing fast, people still held onto their first device without worrying about what was coming out. The reason for this is simply necessity, having access to the internet at all times was a great deal to many people, thus they didn’t feel the need to part with their device. Unfortunately for smart watches, they don’t offer anything we don’t already have on our smartphones.
