Most here are probably bitter for spending as much as they did on an AW when they could have had one of these gems for a fraction of what they paid.

This Apple Watch Ultra Ripoff Will Cost Less Than $50

If you don't buy something direct from source or a trusted and authorised reseller, everything is caveat emptor.
People don't buy a $40 LV bag from a market believing it's just a great deal and the same bag they would pay $2,500 direct from LV. The same for the $150 Rolex which should cost $6,500.
The market for fake items is worth billions because people are willing to buy them. It is what it is. Fakes are so convincing that people are willing to wear/carry them whilst pretending they are real.
Sure, people could buy this Watch Pro fake and try to sell it as the real thing, but again, caveat emptor. You are not going to see these being listed by Apple or an authorised reseller.
So are you guys going to devote an article for every fake out there? The reason to put an article about this is really beyond me.
Seems smart to me. If you’re impressed by my $75 “Rolex”, that’s on you.
Not to sure what the big deal is here,..they do look-a-like products of a number of companies not just Apple.
Big deal, Ali has a whole heap of different manufacturers with similar watches, why did Macrumors chose to advertise this one? 🧐

Why? You've been able to buy knockoffs of Nike shoes for over 30 years! Have you never travelled the world, where you can buy knockoff watches, speakers, headphones, DVD's, Blue-Rays, Video Games? My goodness, you need to get out more.
LOL at all the people that think Apple's lawyers can do anything about this. If lawyers could stop fakes from other countries from pouring in, they'd have done it decades ago.
Some might argue an $800 smart watch is a ripoff.
Given that Apple’s trying to establish manufacturing in India, I don’t see then having an unofficial problem with this.
I don’t see how anyone could be gullible enough to think they were buying an Ultra for $49.
I don't think this is going to sell other than to kids. It won't function well as a fitness tracker or smart watch. It's just for looks and may tell time.
This is e-waste right out of the box...

This is just a tiny tip of the iceberg of why India is not a good destination.

I never heard someone buying a knock off trying to justify paying 10+ times more for a look
I wouldn't be shocked if it was exactly like this watch.
I do have to laugh at this feature...no Messenger, it's a um...wrist Massager! 🤣

I don't care for the iWatch Pro, but I'd probably take a flyer on their regular iWatch copy, if it were available in the US.
Its no different e-waste than every other product Apple has ever produced and continues to produce. Do you even know how batteries are made, using Cobalt??
It all just made sense to me — a friend of mine has a Canal st. Rolex — same model as the real thing, for when she goes out at late hours. This can be used the same way!
