Chinese smartphone maker Oppo is about to launch its first smartwatch, and if you've ever seen an Apple Watch, it's going to look very familiar.
On Monday, the company tweeted "It's time to say hello to #OPPOWatch. đź‘€" along with a photo of two smartwatches. According to the photo, the watches will be called "Oppo Watch Series" and will be unveiled at the company's launch event on Friday. Oppo also plans to unveil its new flagship 5G phone, the Oppo Find X2, at the event.
The watches in Oppo's photo look nearly identical to the Apple Watch, even down to the name - each watch Apple releases is the next in a series, and the most recent iteration is called the Apple Watch Series 5.
In fact, the two watches are so similar that even the most die-hard of Apple fans may not be able to immediately tell the difference. Take a look:
