--FILE--Apple Watch smart watches are on display at an Apple Store in Guangzhou city, south China's Guangdong province, 28 February 2016. Wearables continue to display strong growth in the first quarter of 2016, reaching $6 billion in revenue on a 133 percent yearly growth. The main factor for pushing wearables passed the $6 billion mark is the Apple Watch, which is already the most successful smartwatch on the market, despite being less than a year old. Value per wearable grew at a rate of 50 percent yearly to $218, according to research firm Futuresource Computing, another potential factor of the Apple Watch growth in the first quarter. If reaching the top of the smartwatch market wasn't enough, the Apple Watch has also supposedly passed Casio, Citizen, and Fossil. Major watchmakers Swatch and Rolex are still ahead, but the insurgence of a non-watchmaker into the market may change in the industry's perception on smartwatches.
