Among the many announcements at its Unpacked event on Thursday, Samsung debuted a new smartwatch, dubbed the Galaxy Watch.

The Galaxy Watch will be offered in two sizes with a battery life that the company claims will be able to operate for several days on a single charge.

But as this chart from Statista shows, Samsung is way behind in smartwatch shipments in 2017. Apple shipped out 17.7 million smartwatches last year while Samsung shipped out 3.6 million.
