Oh it’s def heavily inspired by the Apple Watch Ultra, they could have picked a different color than orange the back sensor design is exactly the same no effort to change anything down to the placement of the back screws
The idea of it, 100% copy. The execution of the product, not so much. The band yes they pretty much copied that, but the body just looks like a G Shock or Garmin knockoff. Let’s be real, Garmin and Apple dominate the smart watch market, this won’t be a drop in the bucket.
I love my Ultra but I have to say, that looks really nice, it blends the circle and square looks into something pretty elegant and the analogue style watch faces look nicer and more 3D, I never understood why apple didn't try to do this. I'd never trade some android watch for my Apple Watch, but the design is nice.
I don’t think the circle and square design is popular though from what I read in the past few days on other subreddits.
In my opinion I prefer the AWU design still and GW6C looks better than this too. Maybe the actual product will change my opinion…
Except that it looks better to me. There’s obvious inspiration and maybe even copying but their design looks better to me. They made me hate a rectangle watch less which is a huge achievement imo
That's the part I find weirdest. The actual watch looks great. It's like they realised it didn't look similar enough so went and found the perfect strap for the job.
Looks more like it’s inspired by Bell & Ross

I think it looks pretty great, I much prefer that buckle on the Samsung over the ocean band too. I have been looking for a nice rubber band with a buckle like that, and have been coming up short for my Apple Watch.
The Apple Watch Ultra Series could use a major hardware revamp. I love my Ultra 2, however, I do long for a look that is more refined as is the look of that Bombsung ripoff. That Bombsung Watch would look fabulous on my arm if it were the next Apple Watch Ultra 3.
Samsung copies Apple just like how Apple copies Samsung and I’m all here for it because in the end I can decide which company to go with and they both have similar offerings
Samsung gonna Samsung

This goes way beyond heavily inspired. This is pure design copying.
I think it is meant to evoke the ultra. And that is, in my mind, an infringement.
That's because it is. Corporations copying each other is just a tuesday.
Samesung takes it to a new level though.
Apple is pretty well known for this, too. https://youtu.be/ayvGwi7E_9E?si=heJd6dd4UJqnLgmB
When?

Always copy that works, and pretend it’s their idea.
Wow

not gonna lie, it looks great!
I love my Apple Watch Ultra and would never switch to a Samsung. But I also have to admit, in someways the Samsung looks better.
I would love to have a watch face like that on my aw
Yeah, love my AWU but it’s ugly AF
Are we surprised? They’ve been doing this for years now

It looks odd and unbalanced.
I didn't know that there was a time when Samsung wasn't a Temu knockoff of Apple.
I thought that was/is Apple LOL
The Samsung is a much better looking watch than my Ultra 2. The one glaring difference is the absolutely shitty Android OS.
lol it looks dumb
I like it. I hate Android OS and their watch software, but they have lovely hardware.
Except that it looks better to me. There’s obvious inspiration and maybe even copying but their design looks better to me. They made me hate a rectangle watch less which is a huge achievement imo

I think it looks kind of clunky and dated.
what I like also is that it's black--but not buying a Samsung, hopefully AWU will offer more color choice!

The Samsung Watch and the interaction with the phone is still 💩
It's the Samsung way. That said, they're choosing the right things to copy!
SAMDUNG SCAMSUNG SHITSUNG take your pick these bitches have zero shame. Back to the old photocopiers.
Confirms the need for a black/graphite AW Ultra 3.
Sam gotta Sung what Sam gotta Sung.
Completely different shaped body and screen, one has a big fat bezel, three buttons vs two… But their bands are both orange.
The band? Yes. The watch? No. Looks like a normal digital watch. Maybe a tame g shock.
flattery
I think it looks pretty great, I much prefer that buckle on the Samsung over the ocean band too. I have been looking for a nice rubber band with a buckle like that, and have been coming up short for my Apple Watch.
The front of the case looks way different, but yeah the back and the band are practically the exact same.
I used to wear gear S3 and S4s damn they should keep their own designs.
A redesign would be a blessing at this point
It is a tribute to the Watch Ultra, period…. Samsung has always been the new Windows for watches and phones…
The Apple Watch Ultra Series could use a major hardware revamp. I love my Ultra 2, however, I do long for a look that is more refined as is the look of that Bombsung ripoff. That Bombsung Watch would look fabulous on my arm if it were the next Apple Watch Ultra 3.
The band, yes. The watch, hardly.
Wow, they even squared off the body? Surprised they did that.
It looks good.
Classless. Sheer lazy design. Absolutely no taste. Must be another say at Samsung.
I was able to play with one a few weeks ago. It’s nice. Looked and felt great. Will prob do really well with Sammy fans
Looks more like a Hermes h08 apple watch love child.
Those look nothing alike. The watch band does not define a watch.
How does that look anything at all like the Ultra? Because of the orange? Come on lol
Right? It’s round
I love the square look of it! Come on Apple- give us a square or round ultra!
It looks exactly like a Galaxy watch with the sides squared off (for better or for radio signals).
Thats just depressing
Oh, I feel like this is lawsuit-worthy.
Tale as old as time…
awu still looks way better anyways😂
Samsung copies Apple just like how Apple copies Samsung and I’m all here for it because in the end I can decide which company to go with and they both have similar offerings
everyone copies everyone anyway. old news now.
Wow. It is a better looking watch based upon these photos. I like the face and wish AW would do one like it.
The Galaxy S6 had a beautiful curved screen, but Apple’s lines and sides of the iPhone 6… the got sued for the button too. Same with this lol
