Garmin wins Amazon India's top health smartwatch award as advanced smartwatch shipments jump 234.2% in Q2 2026
Our read
Garmin's advanced-smartwatch growth will stay well ahead of a shrinking market through the festive quarter, but the 234.2% pace is unlikely to repeat as rivals respond.
For operators
Garmin's 234.2% YoY jump in advanced smartwatch shipments in Q2 2026, while India's overall smartwatch market fell 4%, suggests shoppers are paying for health-monitoring features, so retailers should give premium health wearables more shelf and listing space than mass-market bands.
