Introduction
Welcome back to the channel! In today's video, we will be taking a close look at some Chinese knockoff smartwatches. These cheap devices, priced between 15 to 25 euros, have sparked curiosity among many people. So, what exactly do we get with these knockoffs? In this compilation, we will explore several models to give you a comprehensive overview. But before we begin, make sure you strap in, hit the notification bell, and let's dive into the world of smartwatches!
Smartwatch 1: Sport Edition
Let's start with the first smartwatch in our review, the Sport Edition. This particular model looks a little different from the others and even has a button on the side. Not all knockoff smartwatches have this feature, but I personally love it. With just a press of the button, you can easily check the time without any swiping. It's a convenient and simple design that I find quite impressive. However, it does lack some functionalities compared to an actual Apple watch. Considering its price of only 15 euros, it's understandable. The charging process is a bit peculiar, requiring a short USB cable and careful positioning of the pins. I must admit, I'm not a fan of this charging method. On the positive side, the smartwatch comes with comfortable silicone bands that are perfect for sports. You can also connect it to your phone by downloading the accompanying app, although I must say that the app is not very user-friendly. It offers basic functions such as sleep monitoring and step counting, but don't expect anything revolutionary. Overall, as a standalone device, this cheap knockoff smartwatch is impressive, but when connected to a phone, it falls short.
Smartwatch 2: Apple Watch Ripoff
Next up, we have a smartwatch that is a clear ripoff of the Apple Watch. While it's not an exact replica, it definitely tries to imitate the design. This knockoff smartwatch also features a touch button, similar to the previous model, and requires connection to a phone to unlock its full potential. It offers functionalities like message notifications, music control, and even camera control. The features are quite impressive for a knockoff, but there are noticeable differences when compared to the genuine Apple Watch. One major distinction is the lack of a full-screen display. Instead, this knockoff opt for a smaller LCD screen. Additionally, the swipe functions are limited on this watch. Despite its shortcomings, it does come in different versions, such as the sporty silicon bands or the more premium metal bands. These bands are easy to swap and personalize. The charging process involves a magnetic connection, which is more convenient than the previous model. Overall, if you're looking for a basic Apple clone version, this knockoff smartwatch does the job. However, don't expect anything extraordinary from it.
Smartwatch 3: Deluxe Version
Now, let's delve into the more expensive territory and explore the deluxe version of knockoff smartwatches. The price can vary depending on the brand, where you buy it, and when you buy it. However, even in the sale, these smartwatches remain quite cheap. The deluxe version charges with a mic USB, which is a significant difference compared to the previous models. This knockoff smartwatch has a slightly larger display and allows for swiping, similar to a mobile phone. It operates on a light version of Android, enabling you to use various apps just like any other expensive smartwatch. However, it still doesn't provide a full-screen experience, which can be disappointing for some users. When we take a look at the back, we find the most significant difference - a separate battery. Unlike the previous models, this knockoff smartwatch includes a replaceable battery. This allows for longer usage or easy battery replacement when necessary. Surprisingly, you can even insert a SIM card in this device and use it as a standalone phone. While it's a deluxe version, the microphone quality remains relatively cheap compared to an iPhone. If you are willing to spend a little more money and desire additional phone functionalities, this knockoff smartwatch might be a suitable option for you.
Smart Bracelet 1
Moving on from smartwatches, let's now discuss smart bracelets. This particular one is a ripoff of the Apple Watch. Priced at 7 euros, it is a super basic version of a smart bracelet. Its functionalities are similar to what I've already mentioned in the previous models: step counter, sleep monitoring, and the ability to connect with a Chinese app. Connecting the bracelet to the app can be a bit annoying since the app is not user-friendly. However, you do have the option to change the background on some of these bracelets, adding a touch of personalization. While it falls under the fake category, this Chinese edition can still serve as a fun and affordable smart bracelet. Keep in mind that it lacks advanced functionalities and comes with a smaller display.
Smart Bracelet 2
Continuing our exploration of smart bracelets, let's dive into another version. This knockoff smart bracelet is slightly larger compared to the previous model. It retains the same basic features, including step counting and sleep monitoring. However, it does not offer a full-screen experience. Once again, connecting this device to your phone can be a frustrating experience due to the Chinese app requirement. On the bright side, some of these smart bracelets allow you to change the background, offering a small touch of customization. These bracelets serve as a simple and budget-friendly option for anyone looking to track their fitness activities without breaking the bank.
Smart Bracelet 3
Finally, we have the last smart bracelet in our review. This variation is quite similar to the previous models, with comparable functionalities and a familiar Chinese app requirement. The display remains small and lacks a full-screen experience. One interesting point to note is that this smart bracelet was mistakenly packed in the wrong box, suggesting some confusion in the packaging process. Despite this oversight, the functionality and performance align with the other knockoff smart bracelets. It presents a super basic option, especially for those just entering the world of smart wearables. If you are seeking a cheap and straightforward smart bracelet, these knockoff versions will suffice. Just keep in mind that connectivity can be a bit tricky at times.
Conclusion
To summarize, these Chinese knockoff smartwatches and smart bracelets offer varying levels of functionality and design. If you're willing to spend a little more, you can opt for a deluxe version that resembles a phone with SIM card capabilities. However, if you're on a tight budget and prefer a basic solution, the cheaper knockoffs will do just fine. In terms of connectivity, keep in mind that setting up some of these devices can be an annoying and tedious process, particularly with the Chinese apps required for pairing. Regardless, these knockoffs provide an opportunity to delve into the world of smart wearables without spending a fortune.
