Seriously, I’ve seen some ads that scream “FAKE” louder than a toddler having a tantrum. Like, “Apple Watch Series 10 Rose Gold, Free Shipping, Pay in Installments, No Interest!” Okay, first of all, there *isn’t* even a Series 10 out yet, is there? Second, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably *is* too good to be true. It’s like, come on, really?
Then you see listings on places like AliExpress or even Amazon sometimes, saying “Apple Watch Rose Gold Replica”. REPLICA? That’s code for “I’m a fake, and I’m proud of it!” It’s like they’re not even trying to hide it!
Someone selling a “Apple Watch 6 44mm Rose Gold, 90-day warranty, Battery 96%, R$ 1.500.”? Well, that *could* be legit, but you gotta be *super* careful. I mean, the battery health is pretty good, but the price… depends. Is it *too* good? Does the seller have a bunch of positive reviews? Or are they kinda new to the game? I’d def ask for more pictures. You know, like, close-ups of the serial number and stuff.
The biggest giveaway, honestly, is the quality. Real Apple Watches are sleek. They feel good in your hand. These fakes? Cheap plastic, clunky buttons, the display looks…off. It’s like someone took a blurry picture and glued it to the watch face, y’know? They might even use a different font! Plus, the rose gold color might be a weird shade. Like, pepto bismol rose gold. *shudder*
I read somewhere that poor quality materials are a dead giveaway, and I can’t agree more. The real deal feels substantial. A fake feels like something you’d win in a claw machine at a sketchy arcade.
Honestly, I’d rather save up and buy a used *real* Apple Watch than waste my money on some knock-off that’s gonna break in a week. It’s just not worth the hassle. And the embarrassment of someone asking “Is that…real?” You don’t want that. Trust me.
