First things first, the *packaging*. Yeah, I know, boring. But seriously, give it a good once-over. Is it crisp? Are the fonts right? Does the box feel kinda cheap and flimsy? Apple doesn’t skimp on packaging, you know? If it looks like it came outta some back alley warehouse, alarm bells should be ringing. Think, like, legit good packaging versus something printed on a potato. Big difference.
Okay, next up: the Apple logo. Seems obvious, right? But look *closely*. Is it a clean, bold Apple logo? Or does it look like something a toddler drew? (Sorry, toddlers, no offense). Fakers often mess this up. And while you’re at it, check the back of the watch. Does it say the little Apple symbol and “Watch”? Or does it say something generic like “Smart Watch” or, even worse, just “Watch Ultra” without the logo? Big red flag, my friend. HUGE.
Then, boot that bad boy up (assuming it *does* boot up…). This is where the rubber meets the road, folks. A real Apple Watch Ultra runs on watchOS. A fake? Well, it’s probably some janky version of Android dressed up to *look* like watchOS. It’ll be clunky, the animations will be off, and everything will just feel… wrong. Like wearing shoes that are two sizes too small. You’ll *know*. Trust me, you’ll know.
Oh, and speaking of software, try connecting it to your iPhone. A real Apple Watch will pair seamlessly. A fake might struggle, or not even connect at all. It’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Just…doesn’t work.
And here’s a little tip, okay? This is just my personal opinion, so take it with a grain of salt: If the price was ridiculously low, like “too good to be true” low? It probably *is* too good to be true. I mean, come on. We all know Apple products ain’t cheap. If someone’s selling an “Ultra” for the price of a basic smartwatch, something’s fishy. Real fishy.
