    I mean, the earbuds look like a ripoff, I guess, but there are only so many designs for an earbud, and the similarity is driven a lot by the color.

    The watch is clearly unique.

      The body of the watch is very unique. But the watchband is a definite rip-off.

        Did Apple invent the band? I wouldn’t even know how to source pre-existing watch band designs, but I would swear stuff like that existed long before smart watches.

          Of course they didn’t.

          Bands like that exist for a very, very long time, mostly on ‘manly’ watches (for outdoor, pilot watches, etc).

          But in this context, yeah they seem to be just copying what Apple did, probably looking at it as a safe bet. So silly.

            Apple has so many bands you’d almost always find something similar. It’s not like that’s the first thing that shows on the Apple Store.

              That’s the band Apple used in all the promotional material though.
