    Oh come on, fanboys...

    They plain simply make/made superb watches and for me after MANY high-end ones I own(ed), I‘d say they are also from experience among the best quality/robustest there are around (in that „league“) - jmho.

    Fakes (homages) are simply an insult to those who engineer and design such watches - be that Rolex, Breitling, Omega, JLC or whatever else comes to mind.

    I didn’t say there was anything wrong with the watches!

    Not sure what all the fuss is about really. Smart watches are not the same as mechanicals and are just a bit of fun when it comes to their screen faces and their functionality is far greater in comparison to the watches we all love as TZ’ers.

    As for being labelled fakes, get a grip folks!

    Not genuine, not approved by OEM intellectual owner(s) = FAKE.

    Not labelled as they simply ARE FAKE, by definition

    I’d not describe these as fake as I don’t think there is any genuine attempt to pass these off as Rolex watches.

    However, this is clearly a breach of intellectual property.

    I have been surprised how casual some are on this point.

    On the logo just change the R for a B and there you have it. All solved.

    What is a fake?

    To say that these are not being passed as original Rolex is nonsense - it would require a special kind of knowledge (which most forum members possess) to know that Rolex don't manufacture smart watches. The general public wouldn't know.

    As said before, Rolex would object if I put their logo onto a sweater. They will also object of I put it on a smart watch. If I however do it for one SmartWatch, which I personally use and don't sell, it's okay. But anyone marketing those, whether for free (to support sale of the required app) or against payment, is in trouble.
    Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
