How does Samsung feel about the Apple Watch? According to one of the company’s top executives, Samsung is “delighted” that Apple has entered the smartwatch market. However, it wasn’t phrased quite like that. The actually phrasing had a message closer to “We’re glad Apple followed us into a market that we entered first.”

Cupertino, California-based tech giant Apple is on the cusp of taking the smartwatch market by storm Friday with the debut of its much-hyped Apple Watch. But rather than feeling sorry for itself, a top Samsung executive has told CNBC that the South Korean tech giant is “delighted” that a major rival has joined a market into which it has already made inroads. “Great competitors offer great things to consumers and the fact that there are so many great competitors in this space mean that there is absolutely a market. I mean, that’s what it tells you,” Rory O’Neill, the vice-president for mobile Europe at Samsung, which launches its S6 smartphone Friday, told CNBC. “It’s with great delight that Apple has followed us into that market.”
