US Watch and Jewelry Sales Steady in June

Sales of watches and jewelry in the US have remained steady since March, despite the huge percentage rises shown in the graph below. Total sales in June were $116.9m, up only marginally on May's figure of $116.2m.  The dramatic year-on-year changes are largely down to the impact of the global pandemic last year. May 2020 was one of the worst-hit months, with sales of just $53.5m, which explains the year-on-year increase of 117 per cent. June 2020 was already seeing signs of recovery, with sales of $79.2m, so its year-on-year increase was modest by comparison, at just under 48 per cent.
