7 Methods for How to Spot a Fake Apple Watch? [verified)

#1. SIZE OF APPLE WATCHES

According to Apple, the official Dimensions of Apple Watches are ranging from 38 mm, 40 mm, 42mm & 44mm. These dimensions vary from model to model. So, for the fake manufacturers, it is difficult to copy the exact same size as Apple’s real products. Earlier its dimensions were 38.66 x 33.3 x 10.5 mm for the 38 mm model and 42.0 x 35.9 x 10.5 mm for the 42 mm model.

These are the smallest and largest models respectively. But now there are two models, also 40 mm and 44 mm. You can also check the weight too, you can find the exact weight for the apple watches on its official website, but the weight differs from model to model.

#2. CHECK THE CONTROLS ON THE WATCH

The watch controllers are made according to the users’ suitability, Apple Watches are available on either the left side or right side. It depends on whether the user is left-handed or right-handed.

There is either a digital Crown dial on the top of the right-hand edge and a longer and flatter side button below it, or a Side button on the top of the left-hand edge and a digital crown below that. The microphone and speaker are on the other side, opposite these two buttons but the two buttons should be on the same side of the edge.

#3. CHECK THE BACK OF THE APPLE WATCH

The back of the model has a complex pattern of heart rate sensors and spec text on the rear. It is present on all the models of Apple Watches. In an Apple Watch, there are four sensors in the back which are arranged in such a format that shapes a diamond pattern.

These sensors are in the circular format in which the left and right sensors are white in color while the top and bottom sensors are slightly darker. If you have a fake Apple Watch then their pattern is not in the same format or you may know the difference easily.

To test it more, you can activate the heart rate sensors on the watch swipe it, and wait for some seconds until it will start measuring and the left and right sensors will light up green. You can also see these diamond-shaped sensors are in a black circular dark surface, around the surface there is some text written.

#4. INSPECT THE CHARGER

Don’t forget to inspect your charger. It comes with a small induction charger pod, the watch sits on the charger and attached magnetically. There are many fake chargers available in the market so you should check whether your watch charger is like that or different.

This charger plugs via USB into the power supply. The fake chargers are also designed similarly but don’t work well. You can also check whether a beep sound is produced after placing the apple watch on the magnetic charging pod and also displays a lightning bolt symbol as it charges.

If it is unable to do so, then probably it’s fake.

#5. CHECK THE PACKAGING AND BOX

Packaging also plays an important role in the identification of any product. Check whether there are any irregularities in packaging to the official retail packaging from Apple.

The original Apple Watch box is white, blue, pink, black etcetera with round edges and soft to touch. Also, the Apple logo is positioned at the top of the Box while all the information is on the sides of the box, you can check if there are any spelling mistakes in the product description or an unofficial color then no doubt it’s totally fake.

#6. CHECK THE INTERFACE

After getting the product just power on the device and check how its user interface is, Original Apple watches have built-in Apple NATIVE applications like clock, music, settings, photos, call and many more are present there.

The fake manufacturers may copy the physical structure like body and appearance but it’s very hard to replicate the same interface and user experience which a genuine apple watch provides.

You can check by launching a few apps or swipe the screen and know how it responds to the users, the fake watches generally have different interfaces and are now responsive. So, you can identify it’s fake or a real watch of Apple.

#7. CHECK AT THE NEAREST APPLE STORE

If you are buying an APPLE Watch and want to know if it’s real or fake you can go to the nearest apple store, ask the Apple Genius Bar to inspect the device, they will run a diagnostic test to check this.

It’s the most reliable way to know the product’s originality but there is also a problem that retailers generally don’t allow you to go to the Apple Store and check the product you can only do it after the purchase is made.

Also, if you are purchasing a second-hand apple watch and visit the Apple store then also there’s a probability as mostly Apple Employee is likely to decline for the inspection. And if they will help you, then it’s good for you.
