Many people will consider any non-round smartwatch inspired by the Apple Watch, regardless of how close the design is outside of the rectangular shape. And even if something is inspired by something else, it’s still pretty easy to distinguish between inspiration and “inspired by.”
Huawei, however, is in a different realm with the upcoming Watch Fit 3, if the renders of the device leaked today prove accurate. It would be very difficult for most people to tell this one apart from an Apple Watch from afar – and even up close, we’d bet.
Of course, on very Looking closer, the metal bezels are different, as are the screen bezels. But was it necessary to place a button resembling Apple’s digital crown in exactly the same position as on an Apple Watch? A reason, of course, other than to make people who see you wearing one think it’s an Apple Watch. The other button is also placed exactly where it would be on an Apple Watch.
The shape of the case is less “inspired” and more “virtually identical”, as is the curvature of the corners. So, if you’ve always wanted a device that looks like an Apple Watch but want to use an Android phone, the Huawei Watch Fit 3 will give you a unique opportunity when it releases in the near future. It was initially rumored to launch alongside the new Pura 70 series of smartphones, but that didn’t happen. However, it is only a matter of time now.
