One of my favorite things about the world’s Creesiest Tech Market Huaqiangbei is a diverse range of goods available in different stalls. Shenzhen, visit this market in China, and you will find thousands of small retailers selling a wide range of products, with the majority inspired by branded or apple.
I found $ 9 AirPods Pro that were also hosting drones and other technical products along with original and a great bargain. The most funny purchase? This $ 12 Apple Watch Series 10, which resembles the original Apple Watch, until you start using it.
Here is the story of a strange Apple Watch Series 10, which is in fact, an apple watch, but certainly not.
Name and style apple clock
If you have seen it on someone’s wrist, you immediately feel that it was an original Apple watch. It includes the same big display, digital crown and power which you will find on an official Apple Watch.
Flip it, and it also appears to have an official product, although it lacks some hallmarks, which you will notice when you place it next to an authentic. It has a ceramic case, a heart rate monitoring, and comes with a sport band that is similar to an official Apple product.
When you turn it on, there is no setup; Instead, it boots directly into homescreen, which resembles the OS. Even the app drawer has a zoom-out scene similar to Apple’s products.
There is a host of apps that facilitates the same icon as Apple Watch and works well. There are also some apps that you will not find preloaded on Apple Watch, such as Alipay, which is one of the two super apps used by all in China in every part of daily life. Most Watch also contains shameless copies of OS apps, including activity, workouts, messages and more.
You can be fooled by thinking that this is an official Apple watch. However, once you start digging forward, you will quickly see that this is not an official Apple watch.
But not in nature
The most attractive thing about Apple Watch is that it is connectivity to your iPhone. The least attractive thing about this apple watch? There is no way to connect it to your phone, at least what I have found.
To add it, you must first go to a setting menu that tries to see the OS, but fails badly. Instead of a normal menu, you have a universal menu, which is the result of poor translation from Mandarin to English.
At the bottom, there is an option to pair with a new phone, which produces a QR code that you need to scan with an app. However, there is no sign of which app to use for scanning. If you simply use your phone camera, it redirects you on a random Google search, which is a default behavior for most phones when they cannot identify the closing point for the QR code URL. I spent an hour to find a way to connect it, but to no avail.
Beyond the lack of a fellow app, there are some other notable aspects. Haptics are strange and active in two stages. The touch reaction on the screen is quite poorly compared to Apple’s products. There is also a host of apps that are completely strange and do much less, such as one that lets you make it an AI watch, which also means.
Despite this, some people will be happy using it as their watch, especially given its price and some of its characteristics.
Apple can learn from this copy
As shocking it seems, Apple can learn from this watch. First, the app drawer has a polymorphic view that allows you to ride cycling through all installed apps in a more comfortable and user friendly way than list or grid ideas. Second, this watch has a slightly better step than the original Apple Watch Series 10 on my other wrist.
The biggest surprise is that, separate from information and phone connections, it is fundamentally a good watch. This accurately displays time, and fitness and activity features work. Although it lacks polish of an official product, and you will never get updates, it is available for a fraction of the price.
The Watch S10 Pro is dubbed, it is not a Pro Watch and does not provide a full experience of an apple watch, but can be ideal as a starter watch for a child or if you are extremely limited by the budget. After all, it spends less than 5% of a real apple watch and provides much more than a $ 10 watch that you can buy elsewhere. For most people, it is a meaningful business closed, even if it will not soon be making its way in any best smartwatch list.
