They're ripping off poor gullible people, doesn't that concern you?
At $48 for this vs $799 min for the real thing, they are ripping off nobody. If anyone is that gullible to believe it is the real thing then they deserve what they get.

Available in both 200 and 800 gritCan they copy the cloth for $3
My thoughts exactly, amazing they can do that. I guess that’s what sells and there’s no enforceable copyright laws outside US, at least for whoever used these pics.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
I can see what you say and frankly nah not my thing either, also gods knows where the data from the app would end up 😵💫Very interesting - Thank you. I kind of like the printed screws on the backside 🤣
It reminds me of fake Patek Philippe or Rolex watches with sub-dial hands printed on the main dial...
But - the looks is quite good in general. Although, I do not want one...
I have a wrist watch from the early 50s. It tells the time. I bought it from a watch maker about 15 years ago for $80. Still does what it was intended to do. No battery. No fear that its OS made it obsolete 5 years after it was made, making it less than what it was built for. Something I might be able to gift to somebody someday, and it would still do what it was built for.I rather have this than an apple watch (use to have a lot of fun turning off everyone's tv and in school driving the teacher crazy everytime we use to watch a movie) , but Casio doesn't make this at all
This is like me buying a MacBook Pro to produce music and somebody saying “I have an upright piano from 1923 that I got for $40 on Craigslist. Still does what it was intended to do. No battery. No fear that its OS made it obsolete 5 years after it was made, making it less than what it was built for. Something I might be able to gift to somebody someday, and it would still do what it was built for.”I have a wrist watch from the early 50s. It tells the time.

Apple lawsuit incomingI 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.
You don’t need the ceramic back to ensure it’s an Apple Watch ultra
Dip them in yellow paint, give them blue overalls and goggles - and there they are...Scenes at Apple after Tim presses the big red "lawyers" button.

Before all the Apple fanfolk completely hyperventilate at this 'blatant ripoff', let's take a moment to consider that the company is clearly not aiming at the 'more money than brains' crowd that the Apple Watch aims for. And probably at the market where $48 is a big deal.
Let's take another moment to consider that Apple is far clear of their own blatant ripoffs (sorry....'reverse engineering') going as far back as the mouse and windows GUI as created by IBM PARC, or, say, more recently, arguably the original Touch / iPhone vs the Palm TX.
First paragraph, fine. Though maybe they could find one creative bone in their bodies regarding making their own product design. It's absolutely fine and needed that there are other smart watch options.Before all the Apple fanfolk completely hyperventilate at this 'blatant ripoff', let's take a moment to consider that the company is clearly not aiming at the 'more money than brains' crowd that the Apple Watch aims for.

Just so long as your MacBook Pro wasn't built before 2017 and the software you want to use is still available for that vintage of OS...This is like me buying a MacBook Pro to produce music...
Is this the same Pebble who made the low-cost Kickstarter watch, and was bought out by Fitbit, which was acquired by Google? Or just the same name?
I stand corrected. Apple 'borrowed' from Xerox, not IBM.I was with you until you trotted out “IBM PARC”. Do yourself a favor and spend a little time learning the history of that era and the details of the..ehem ..Xerox GUI before your next comment.
They're not trying to rip off Americans. They're taking advantage of people in India and other countries where most can't afford the Apple Original.At $48 for this vs $799 min for the real thing, they are ripping off nobody. If anyone is that gullible to believe it is the real thing then they deserve what they get.
Nah, it's a knockoff pebble. OG pebble got acquired by FitbitWait, it's that Pebble? I had the og Pebble watch from Kicstarter, my first smart watch.
