This Apple Watch Ultra Ripoff Will Cost Less Than $50

[MacRumors]

Indian brand Pebble plans to release a new smartwatch that looks like a blatant Apple Watch Ultra ripoff. The watch has virtually the exact same design as the Apple Watch Ultra and even looks like it will be available with a knockoff Ocean Band.

Priced at the equivalent of just $48, the Pebble Cosmos Engage is obviously made with lower-quality materials than the Apple Watch Ultra. For example, the watch is advertised as having an LCD display with up to 600 nits of brightness, while the Apple Watch Ultra has an OLED display with up to 2,000 nits of brightness. Unsurprisingly, the watch also doesn't run watchOS, but it does appear to offer knockoff Apple Watch faces and features like heart rate monitoring, voice assistance, and Bluetooth calling.

Pebble already sells a copycat version of the standard Apple Watch and other generic smartwatches. The brand does not appear to have any relation with the former smartwatch company Pebble, which was acquired by Fitbit in 2016.

The actual Apple Watch Ultra was released in September and is priced at $799.

Imagine if the Apple Watch Ultra was $48. That would be awesome.

Another affront to the old Pebble name.

Rounded corners are hard, huh?

I find it very funny that it's not just a blatant rip off, but they're using actual Apple Watch promotional images on the site. The image with the four Ultra watches even shows the Apple Watch Ultra name on the back of one of the watches.

It is probably just this https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804564732482.html which I tried. It's not a bad watch but the fitness tracking on it sucks.

They didn’t even try to hide it …

Imagine gifting someone this Apple Watch Ultra Rip off and telling them you got them an Apple Watch Ultra 💀

It has 39 5-star reviews on their website, obviously legit and what can go wrong? 😆

It's nobody's concern but Apple's if they don't like it.

I have to say, I am pretty impressed by their zero F’s given attitude…. I mean they didn’t even try to change the colors, nothing…. Just went for it

Imagine pebble were making smart watches long before the first Apple watch. Now they are copying Apple.

Wow! A Genuine Sapo Watch Ultra!

Does make one wonder if this is a great place for Apple to be moving manufacturing too (along with that other communist run country south of China), what could possibly go wrong in environments like these over time?

I'm happy with my Walmart Wyze watch for $39. Does 80% of what I need and battery last over 5 days between charge.

I'm going to order a bunch and give them to people I don't like 😈

I know it comes no where near the quality of Apple but it's obviously Apple doesn't have much money in each Apple Watch.

This company is unaffiliated with the original Pebble watch.

My mom wouldn't care either way. But she would say "you spent 800 dollars on what?!". So...

That's what Christmas is for!

These are quite easy to find by other brands all over eBay and I have no doubt this is just a rebranding of one of those
