Apple Watch Series 7 Clones Emerge in China

[ColdShadow]

This actually looks like a prototype of for the very first Apple Watch, it's that bad.
Apple's design team need a shake up and re-shuffle for sure.

 

[Octavius8]

The lack of creativy in the S7 is a serious concern and sign that Apple is dripping the ball.

I’m surprised how ugly it is. I was looking forward to the new watch design but now I’m not sure.

 

[Tozovac]

What operating system do these run?

it looks beautiful. Love the flatter edge design.

It looks more rich and high end

Just think, in 5-7 years the rounded edge version will look fresh, beautiful, rich, and high end.

I don't see an Apple Watch clone, I see a Chinese knockoff, first generation Pip-Boy.🙃

War. War never changes...

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

What operating system do these run?

They run an operating system?

 

[Kabeyun]

The issue is so widespread that Apple has a team whose sole focus is to crack down on counterfeit products and prevent them from being sold.

And how’s that working out for them?

 

[FelixDerKater]

That sharp edge is nice for a phone, but not a watch.

 

[subi257]

wow if these are true likeness to the actual product then we have another UGLY re-design from Apple,I wonder what's going on there in their design team, recently they put out few products that are completely inferior to the previous generation and only fanboys/people who just don't care about design seem to like them,examples:

iMac M1 🤮 (the worst of them all,I still can't believe this design,it's sooo bad)

Airpods Max 🤢

and Now Apple Watch 7? 🤧

these are REALLY ugly designs.

And you are here because ?

 

[GadgetBen]

So does that mean the Apple Watch Series 7 will be a clone of them when it comes out?

Yeah, that's right. China got in there first with their launch and that's what matters.

 

[iOS Geek]

Between iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch...personally, the watch is the one that I DON'T think I'd like the squared edges on.

I was going to upgrade my watch this year, but it might end up being a 6 if they go this route...

 

[MrGimper]

I must admit that sharp corners and edges scare the willies out of me.... gonna be so prone to chips and nicks, especially on a watch. Hopefully they are rolled edges like the ipads/phones.

 

[darkpaw]

Chonky.

This watch is chonky.

I have had to re-do this post because one-word posts aren't appreciated, despite them providing all the information required in that one word.

 

[XciteMePls]

Honestly, as somebody who was really looking forward to finally upgrade my Series 3, this looks hideous. I'm hoping the final design is much thinner and less boxy. It looks like you're wearing a small box on your wrist.

 

[Tozovac]

Chonky.

This watch is chonky.

Next time just change the color of some dummy text.

 

[Tozovac]

And how’s that working out for them?

I heard Apple hired all the Rolex and Omega knock-off hunters after they eradicated all the replicas.

 

[Tozovac]

They run an operating system?

Ha. I was just curious if they even turn on and offer the time and date, or if they are completely dead.

 

[jclardy]

I hope this is a really crappy clone, the crown looks like it was just glued on to the side as an afterthought.

 

[svish]

Design is good but looks a bit too thick. Hopefully it will be thinner.

 

[ponzicoinbro]

The copycats also make a gold version made out of Fool’s Gold.

 

[MathersMahmood]

That's so ugly.

 

[mach]

The idea of making every product's design boxy with flat sides is absurd. I can't wait for it to be over.

Agreed, I really am not a fan of the flat edges, they've been a UX downgrade:

iPhone 12: digs into your hand

iPad: harder to pick up off the table than the older tapered / teardrop models.

Watch: looks clunky and more likely to snag on things.

 

[Robert.Walter]

Wow, that’s thicc as a brick.

 

[CarlJ]

I am shocked, shocked, to hear that there are a few Chinese companies making counterfeit products.

The lack of creativy in the S7 is a serious concern and sign that Apple is dripping the ball.

I‘d reserve judgement (especially such a harsh one) until after the real deal has been released.
