I bought a $12 Apple Watch Series 10, it’s bizarre
- In the world-renowned Huaqiangbei tech market in Shenzhen, China, an imitation $12 Apple Watch Series 10 caught attention for resembling the original Apple Watch.
- The knockoff watch features familiar Apple Watch design elements, such as a large display, digital crown, and a ceramic case, but lacks seamless connectivity to iPhones.
- Although the imitation watch mimics Watch OS features and preloaded apps, it falls short in terms of usability, connectivity, and touch response compared to genuine Apple products.
- Despite its limitations, the imitation watch offers some unique features like a kaleidoscope view in the app drawer and better step counting accuracy than the genuine Apple Watch Series 10.
- This knockoff, named the Watch S10 Pro, may serve as an affordable alternative for those on a tight budget, although it does not provide the full experience of a real Apple Watch.
- Despite its flaws, the imitation watch could potentially offer valuable insights for Apple, such as innovative app drawer design and functional fitness features.
- For individuals seeking a budget-friendly smartwatch, the imitation Apple Watch presents an attractive option, providing basic functionalities at a fraction of the cost of the original.
