Huawei Faces Backlash Over Similarities Between Watch Fit 3 and Apple Watch
Huawei recently released the Pura70 mobile phone series in the Chinese market, marking the end of the flagship P series after 12 years. Rumors of the Watch Fit 3 smartwatch being launched alongside the Pura70 have been circulating, and now it seems that the smartwatch is close to being released.
According to reports, Huawei has obtained SIRIM and SDPPI certification for the Watch Fit 3, indicating that it may hit the market in the coming weeks. Product photos shared by tipster Roland Quandt show striking similarities between the Watch Fit 3 and the Apple Watch, with a square body, rounded corners, and a rotating crown similar to Apple’s design.
Despite some minor differences in thickness and frame shape, the overall resemblance between the two devices has raised concerns about Huawei potentially facing accusations of plagiarism. Apple Watch has long been a leader in the smartwatch market, known for its classic design and user-friendly features. If the Watch Fit 3 is perceived as a copycat product, it could put Huawei under significant pressure.
As Huawei continues to expand its product offerings, it will be interesting to see how consumers and competitors react to the Watch Fit 3’s design similarities with the Apple Watch. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
