First off, let’s be clear: I haven’t actually *seen* a blatant “fake” Gear S3 watch, like, a knock-off with a misspelled logo or something. I mean, maybe they exist, but I’m assuming you’re talking about something a bit more nuanced.
Probably more like, you’re tryin’ to *make* your existing smartwatch *look* like a Gear S3. Which, honestly, isn’t a bad idea! I still miss my old Gear S3 Frontier sometimes. That thing was a tank. Seeing people online still trying to get it working with their S24s just shows how much people loved it. I get it, I really do.
Now, how do you achieve this fake Gear S3 look? Watch faces, baby! That’s where it’s at. The Applekitty watch face, mentioned in one of those snippets you gave me, sounds like a good starting point if you’re going for a classy vibe. But really, the possibilities are endless. There’s tons of tutorials online on how to create your own watch faces, and you can totally mimic the look and feel of the Gear S3’s interface.
I remember spending hours messing around with WatchMaster trying to find the perfect face. The “Battle Cruiser by Romanson” one? Yeah, I probably downloaded that back in the day. Ah, good times.
Honestly, the whole “fake it ’til you make it” approach is kinda cool. You might not have the actual rotating bezel of the Gear S3 (which, let’s be honest, was the BEST PART), but you can get pretty darn close with the right watch face and a little imagination.
And speaking of imagination, you could even go full-on DIY mode. Think about printing out a bezel sticker that *looks* like the Gear S3’s bezel. Or even, hear me out, 3D printing a custom bezel that fits your current smartwatch. Okay, maybe that’s taking it a bit too far. But hey, I’m just spitballing here!
The real question is, why are you so obsessed with faking a Gear S3 in the first place? Nostalgia? Miss the rugged look? Maybe you’re just cheap and don’t want to buy a new smartwatch. No judgment here, I’m just sayin’.
