No, this isn’t the Apple Watch. But it appears there has been enough time between Apple’s unveiling and CES for smaller accessory makers to prepare offerings inspired by the device in time for the show.
This product comes from a Synergy technologies showcasing their products on the CES 2015 show floor, and does a pretty good job of knocking off the Apple Watch both with its hardware and UI.
Apple Watch isn’t out yet, but it’s already influencing the look of new smartwatches hitting the market. Yesterday we reported that Apple is likely planning to launch the device in March with training of retail employees scheduled for mid-February.
Stay tuned for more from CES as we explore the show.

Maybe it’s a Samsung Gear Knockoff?
Bunch of f’ing thieves!
Apple should not allow them. Just get one of the copiers down and others will be afraid. If not, get another of them down and they definitely will give up. Tim, I think you’re a great CEO but you need to take action, I would destroy them at your place.
What, like Samsung? These companies will have made their money & gone before the judge even considers the matter. It’s a completely useless money hoarding system.
The brand says it all. It isn’t plagiarism – it’s “synergy”!
But all big manufacturers copy each others’ successes – after all Henry Ford copied many factors of other cars – like e.g. 4 wheels, tires, wheel steering, etc. ! And Edison copied his light bulb from Joseph Wilson Swann.
