Smart watches have gone from having no basis for anyone to be a market to follow, and even though they may not seem to be, they continue to be unstoppable. Products like Xiaomi are already leading the sale, and some giants like Huawei have begun to succeed with their solutions.
It looks like the next major producer to sign the new deal will be Oppo, and the fact that the big Chinese company has just made the public a picture of what its next watch will look like. And it's beautiful, but it reminds us uncomfortably of a particular watch.
Oppo's first smart watch, another "Apple Watch"
Like it or not, every new product that Apple introduces to the market seems to be coveted, whether by consumers or designers of some kind. In recent years we have seen the industry a few months after the iPhone X adopted notch that "everyone laughed", and the same has happened with Airpods. Apple's other major accomplishment is the Apple Watch, With a design that has become an icon.
Xiaomi Mi Watch
And we haven't seen a few models that have tried to replicate this design, being models like the Amazfit GTS or Xiaomi Mi Watch that seem to be inspired. And now it's Oppo's turn, which, through Shen Yiren, its rival president, shared the following image.
Amazingly new GTS: this is Huami's make-up on the Apple Watch
The new Amazfit GTS watch set as an inexpensive alternative to the Apple Watch, mimics its construction, but at a much lower price.
You can't expect to think of the Apple Watch when you look at this watch, and it seems that Oppo wants to take the basic design known. The similarity goes beyond the fact that the rectangle is rectangular, but it also uses the same belt arrangement, something that does not satisfy me personally (I prefer the use of standard belts).
Of course, there are differences, such as a screw mounted on the sides and the use of two buttons on the right side instead of the button and crown.
Oppo also confirmed that its first smart watch will be fully unveiled during the first quarter of the year. The image itself shows the date of the clock as Friday 6th. Looking at the calendar, it would not be wise to think about March 6 such as the filing date
