Even before Apple officially released its first wearable in the market, the Apple Watch, knock offs / clones started appearing online. We have come across many such Apple Watch clones in the past few months and looks like there’s another one coming to the market pretty soon.

We are talking about the new GoWatch which takes its design inspiration from Apple Watch. So, anyone who loved the Apple’s simple yet attractive design can take a look at this less pricey offering.

We don’t have much details about the GoWatch, but we do have some pictures which confirm an Apple Watch like design. As you can see, it comes with a similar silver colored case as the Apple Wearable and looks quite good too. We have a lot of pictures of the device, which we have added down below. 

The GoWatch features everything you would expect from a budget wearable. It comes with MTK MT2502c processor and features pedometer, heart rate sensor, ultraviolet detection etc. You can light up the watch with just a flip. Another advantage is that the watch works with both Android and iOS devices.

Unfortunately, we still don’t know the official pricing of the device, but we expect more details pretty soon. Stay tuned for more information.

We have already seen plenty of knock offs of popular smartphones in the past two years. The famous clones includes the look alikes of iPhone 6, LG G3, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 etc. Even wearables have clones these days, like the No.1 G2 which takes inspiration from the Samsung Gear smartwatch.

Clones are usually seen after the original device is released in the market, but sometimes, there can be an exception, like in the case of this Apple Watch clone. Recently, we spotted a look a like of the Apple Watch that is expected to hit the markets in April. The device looks exactly like Apple’s first wearable and until you turn on the watch, you’ll probably mistake it as the real one.

Since we were surprised to see the watch even before Apple made the original one available for sale, we decided to take a look at the device to see what it offers to its users.

First off, lets take a look at the box. The picture in front may look like the real deal, but remember that this is just a clone. But its not surprising to see that the image on the front with the UI is made to look like the original Apple Watch. On the top left corner, you’ll see the multi-language support feature which means you can also install and use English on the device. Below, you can see some of its features such as notifications, handsfree, USB and music player support.

Turning over the box to the back side reveals interesting things. First of all, the device supports pedometer, stop watch, anti-theft alarm, recorder etc. Of course, its not surprising that the English written at the back is bad. Still, you can read and understand most parts. Interestingly, the rear specs list reveals that the device will be available in two battery versions, a 230mAh version which will be only available for Chinese customers and a 190mAh version which will be made available for international users. Unfortunately, we don’t know why the maker of this device decided to do something like this.

Inside, you’ll find a manual too, but written in Chinese. The manual reveals that the Apple Watch clone will only work with Android smartphones and tablets. What an irony!

The device that we got from the market had a brown leather color which matched its strap. On top of the display, there’s a sticker which is made to look like the UI on the original Apple Watch.

At the back, you’ll see a round metal circle plate. Its does not blend very well with the design as it protrudes from the body.

On the right, you’ll see two buttons, which are the only ones on the entire smartwatch. One of them is the Apple’s new digital crown like button. However, we didn’t find any particular function assigned for that button.

The strap on the device is just standard, nothing out of the ordinary quality wise.

Unsurprisingly, the device is only a Apple Watch clone by design and not by function. You’ll get what I’m saying right when you turn on the device. The touchscreen is highly pixelated, which means the resolution is too low and almost every function needs a companion smartphone to work. However, it did have some good features despite its low price tag.

Naturally the device wasn’t going to be as costly as the Apple Watch. In fact, this Apple Watch clone costs even less than 10% of the value of the standard Apple Watch. Yes, you can get it for as less as 200 Yuan which comes to around $32! That’s the cheapest price you’ll get a device like this.

So, what do you think about the device? Looks good?

The post The first Apple Watch clone review appeared first on Gizmochina.

In the past few years, we have seen almost every Apple device being cloned by Chinese manufacturers. Today, we have yet another Apple clone, the Aiwatch. This particular smartwatch is a clone of the yet to be released Apple Watch. Although Apple officially announced its first watch a few months back, the company has still not released the device. The device is expected to be available only around March next year that too at a very expensive price tag (more than $250). So, people who don’t want to wait that long or spend as much as $250 on a new smartwatch can take a look at this new smartwatch which sells for less than $70.

Design wise, it almost the same as the Apple Watch. However, the Aiwatch features a smaller screen, a 0.95 inch 94 x 64 dot resolution display, as compared to the expected 1.5 inch screen on the Apple Watch. It comes with a titanium alloy finish in four different colors – silver, black, golden, champagne gold and has three different band color options –  blue, green and black. Unfortunately, the strap is non-removable, so you’ll probably be better off picking out the right color for the strap as you can’t change them.

Aiwatch has a number of health related functions like a pedometer which can calculate the calories burned or the steps and distance walked. Further, it can keep a track of your sleep cycle to ensure quality sleep with intelligent vibration reminders. You also get a heart rate monitor on the device. Although it lacks an in-built camera, the Aiwatch can control your paired smartphone’s camera to click pictures remotely. You can focus the camera automatically by clicking the large button on the side. It also features a tracker/ anti-theft option which an track down your phone if you have lost it.

At present, the Aiwatch features 7 languages including Chinese, Thai, English, and French. The battery life is also decent, thanks to the 180mAh capacity battery which provides 2-3 days of run time or 7 days of standby time.

Aiwatch is currently available for sale at just 399Yuan ($65). Head over to their official website for more information.
