Apple revealed the Apple Watch Series 2 in September alongside the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The new model features built-in GPS, faster processor, improved water resistance and a brighter display.

Estimates indicate that Apple Watch sales dropped 70 percent in the third quarter compared to last year.

Apple hasn’t released official sales numbers, although CEO Tim Cook insists that the device is doing great.
