Apple is expected to announce the Watch Series 7 in September this year. While that is yet to happen, images purported to be a counterfeit of the upcoming Watch Series 7 model have appeared online. The images were shared by a Twitter user @MajinBuOfficial and they show the knock-ff Watch Series 7 in space gray, silver, and space black colors.
The design of the Watch Series 7 knock-off resembles those of the previously leaked CAD renders of the next-gen Apple Watch. It is expected that the Apple Watch will use a square edge, which is very similar to the design of the iPhone 12 series, iPad Air, iPad Pro, and the 24-inch iMac.
Although the devices in the images are knock-offs and not from Apple, they may be similar to the final product, allowing us to see how the new Apple Watch design looks in real life. The tipster also disclosed that the Apple Watch Series 7 clone is already on sale in China for around 350-400 yuan (~$60).
So far, we have only seen the design of the Apple Watch Series 7 in renders that are based on leaked images and CAD drawings leaked by industry sources. Although the Apple Watch 7 series is expected to be 1.7mm thinner than the 6 series, it is worth noting that this change may not have been brought to the cloned product. The Watch 7 clone in the leaked images appears to be thicker than the genuine device.
The clones of popular Apple products are usually very deceptive in appearance, making the deceived believe that they are genuine. This problem is very common, especially the counterfeit AirPods, which has reached the point where it is difficult to distinguish between the fake and the real so that Apple has a team that focuses on combating counterfeit products and preventing them from being sold.
Apple is expected to launch Apple Watch Series 7 as early as next month, and it is likely to be launched alongside the iPhone 13 series, offering improved display technology and ultra-wideband connections, faster processors, larger batteries, and more.
