Apple Watch is one of the most popular smartwatches on the Russian wearable gadgets market. No wonder, because they not only look stylish, but also work perfectly in a single ecosystem with iPhones. Devices greatly simplify the life of their owners: they can receive calls, view photos and even videos. And in the updated 6 series, it became possible to measure the level of oxygen in the blood, which is important during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Apple smart watch is practical and attractive. But these almost perfect flagships also have drawbacks.This is both a high price and a fast-discharging battery. Yes, like iPhones, Apple Watch quickly eats up the charge and lives at most for a day. And if they are also constantly “strained” with training, measurements, then they will completely sit down in 10-12 hours. In addition, the latest series of apple watches cannot be connected to Android smartphones without dancing with tambourines.

Another problem with Apple Watch is fakes. Knowing how much Russian users love this brand, the “creators” from the Celestial Empire literally release low-quality copies in batches. Of course, it is easy to distinguish the “pal” from the device developed by the Cupertians. It is enough to enter the IMEI of the model on the official Apple website. But still, no one is safe from buying a fake - it is better to buy watches in the official stores of the brand.

Although there are a lot of handicraft fakes on the market in Russia, legal copies of the Apple Watch are still available to the average user. These are not full-fledged clones of Cupertino devices, but analogues from other equally popular brands.

The most sought-after smartwatch similar to Apple Watch releases Huawei. Yes, gadgets from this manufacturer are not so neat and attractive, but they are not inferior to apple products in terms of durability and autonomy.

If you need a watch with the most similar form factor, then it is better to pay attention to Amazfit devices from Huami. The brand produces smart watches with a neat square display. Similar devices can also be found at Xiaomi, Realme and Haylou

The Apple Watch analogs below are released in China. All of them are waterproof, equipped with a durable case and do a good job with the functions of a fitness tracker. Models from the rating are not equipped with an NFC module and cannot display photos and videos. Perhaps these are their only significant differences from the Apple Watch.Otherwise, these inexpensive smartwatches may well be a great alternative to more expensive devices.

Top 10. IWO HW22 Series 6

Rating (2022): 4.00
Accounted for 85 reviews from resources: Yandex.Market, Wildberries
Full copy of Apple Watch

Smartwatches are almost identical to Apple Watch. This analogue of apple devices has a microphone, the ability to answer a call and a built-in pulse oximeter.

  • Average price: 2900 rubles.
  • Waterproof: IP67
  • Display: 1.75″ IPS 320x385
  • Battery: 200 mAh; up to 5 days of work
  • Monitoring: sleep, blood oxygen levels, activity, calories, pressure
  • Compatibility: Android from 5.0, iOS from 10

An interesting and inexpensive analogue of the Apple Watch 6 series with a similar design. Especially in red. There is a function for measuring the level of oxygen in the blood, the ability to receive calls and talk, switch tracks. And this device can also measure pressure, but the accuracy of the indicators is far from medical devices. The device works on Bluetooth 4.0, the battery lives 2-5 days. To set up and manage your smartwatch, you need to download the Wearfit Pro app. And if the developers put in a little more effort, then this smart watch would become the best analogue of Apple Watch. Only now the software itself is terribly raw, and the device itself is much inferior in quality to even the most budget popular Chinese. Among the models there is a large number of marriages, and not all functions turn out to be working upon connecting the gadget to a smart phone.

Pros and cons
  • Wide range of animated watch faces
  • Has a built-in speaker and microphone
  • Elegant Design
  • Large marriage rate
  • Sometimes notifications don't work
  • Pixels visible on display

Top 9. Haylou LS02 Global

Rating (2022): 4.10
Accounted for 269 reviews from resources: Yandex.Market, Wildberries, OZON
Best price

The most budget analogue of the Apple Watch. It looks like a flagship not only in form factor, but also partially even in functionality: there is moisture protection, the ability to control music.

  • Average price: 2190 rubles.
  • Waterproof: IP68
  • Display: 1.4″ IPS 320×320
  • Battery: 260 mAh; 720 hours of work
  • Monitoring: sleep, activity, calories
  • Compatibility: Android from 4.4, iOS from 8

A budget analogue of an apple device from Xiaomi's "daughter". The model sits comfortably on the hand, thanks to the body painted in metallic, it looks many times more expensive than its real cost. Of course, this is not a full-fledged analogue of the Apple Watch, but it is quite the place to be as the first wearable device. There is water protection, 12 built-in training programs, a heart rate monitor with the ability to constantly measure heart rate. And there is no GPS - not that price range. The device works on bluetooth version 5, is configured using the native Haylou application. The software itself, by the way, is rather buggy and raw, and even with a crooked translation. But it suits many users. Another significant disadvantage is the high percentage of marriage. Sometimes users come across devices with non-working water protection, quickly oxidized charging contacts.

Pros and cons
  • Very low price
  • Nice bright display
  • Look stylish
  • Marriage often occurs
  • Application with crooked translation and management
  • Charging contacts oxidize over time

Top 8. Amazfit GTS

Rating (2022): 4.45
Accounted for 437 reviews from resources: Yandex.Market, IRecommend, Svyaznoy, M.Video, OZON, Otzovik

The display diagonal here is 1.65″. This is the largest indicator among analogues of apple watches.

  • Average price: 8599 rubles.
  • Waterproof: IP68
  • Display: 1.65″ Amoled 348×442
  • Battery: 220 mAh; 1104 hours of work
  • Monitoring: sleep, heart rate, activity, calories
  • Compatibility: Android from 5.0, iOS from 10

Stylish and comfortable smart watch with Bluetooth 5.0 LE, reminiscent of Apple Watch from afar. The model looks expensive, sits comfortably on the hand. Equipped with a long-lasting battery that fully charges in 2 hours. This smart watch, according to reviews, is considered one of the best analogues of the Apple Watch. There is also moisture protection of 5 atm, and a large high-quality screen with Always On Display, and an ambient light sensor. The model easily connects with smartphones on iOS and Android, has 16 built-in functions. The watch tracks the pulse and monitors the wearer's sleep, counts steps. Also available to the user are 12 basic workouts: from walking and running, cycling to swimming, hiking and skiing. Advanced functionality is available by downloading the Zepp app from Amazfit. But it is, judging by the responses, quite buggy. And the device refuses to work with other software.

Pros and cons
  • Bright high quality display
  • Hold charge well
  • Lots of features and customization options
  • Stylish appearance
  • Protective glass scratches quickly
  • Crooked Chinese native app
  • Periodically lose connection with smartphone

Top 7. Realme RMA 161

Rating (2022): 4.49

Inexpensive analogue of Apple Watch for Android

Smart watch with apple form factor is ideal for Android smartphones. The gadget measures the level of oxygen, has 14 sport modes and looks stylish.

  • Average price: 3800 rubles.
  • Waterproof: IP68
  • Display: 1.4″ IPS 320×320
  • Battery: 160 mAh; 480 hours of work
  • Monitoring: heart rate, oxygen levels, sleep, steps, activity
  • Compatibility: Android from 5.0

Another Chinese analogue of the Apple Watch with the ability to measure the level of oxygen in the blood.The device works with the Realme Link application, connects to smartphones via Bluetooth 5.0, and has 14 built-in workout programs. The smartwatch tracks physical activity and can withstand up to 7 days of moderate activity. There are no special features that strongly distinguish RMA 161 from other devices from China. True, the model is especially highly praised for its high accuracy in measuring saturation and heart rate. Also, the owners of the device love it for its excellent vibration and good autonomy. But the lack of software for iOS and the occurring marriage clearly do not add attractiveness to the model. In general, the device is quite good for its price. But it is better for owners of apple gadgets to look at other models of smart watches.

Pros and cons
  • Convenient physical button
  • Accurate (watch-to-watch) blood oxygen measurement
  • Strong vibration on notifications
  • Not compatible with iOS
  • Failing devices come across
  • Large screen bezels

Top 6. Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite

Rating (2022): 4.63
Accounted for 555 reviews from resources: Yandex.Market, M.Video, OZON, Shop.mts, DNS
The optimal ratio of price and functionality

The watch combines adequate cost, presentable appearance and excellent autonomy. This is a good alternative to the expensive Apple Watch.

  • Average price: 4490 rubles.
  • Waterproof: IP68
  • Display: 1.4″ TN TFT 320×320
  • Battery: 230 mAh; 216 hours of work
  • Monitoring: sleep, steps, calories, heart rate
  • Compatibility: Android from 5.0, iOS from 10

Inexpensive smart watch on Bluetooth 4.2 from Xiaomi, similar in form factor to Apple Watch. This device is easy to manage and set up, has 11 built-in sports modes, and is resistant to moisture.By the way, here, according to the manufacturer, the water resistance class is 5 atm (WR50): you can safely swim in the watch without diving deeper than 5 m. Apple Watch has the same moisture protection. True, apart from design and moisture protection, as well as a standard heart rate monitor and activity monitoring, the flagship and Mi Watch Lite have nothing in common anymore. The battery here is tenacious than that of an apple device, but in terms of functionality, the watch clearly loses to the Apple Watch. But they can be forgiven for minor flaws, if you look at the excellent autonomy and attractive appearance.

Pros and cons
  • Live on 1 charge up to 10 days
  • Work correctly with Apple
  • Confidently keep in touch with a smartphone
  • Good vibration on calls
  • There is an error in step counting and GPS operation
  • Come across marriage

Top 5. HONOR Watch ES

Rating (2022): 4.70
Accounted for 614 reviews from resources: Yandex.Market, DNS, Otzovik, OZON
Affordable fitness solution.

This watch is a great alternative to the Apple Watch. 95 training programs are available to the user: from cardio to strength.

  • Average price: 6990 rubles.
  • Waterproof: WR50
  • Display: 1.64″ Amoled 456×280
  • Battery: 180 mAh; 240 hours of work
  • Monitoring: calories, sleep, activity, blood oxygen
  • Compatibility: Android from 5.0, iOS from 9

Smart watch with a huge rectangular screen. Similar to the Apple Watch, but in terms of functionality, they are still closer to fitness bracelets. The model is as simple as possible to connect, configure and manage. It connects to smart phones via bluetooth 5.0, and, unlike Apple Watch, can withstand up to a week of intensive use. The gadget looks stylish, can automatically detect activity. True, for this you need to "twist" the settings.There is also a trendy feature that was previously available only on flagships - saturation. The device measures the level of oxygen in the blood. The data, of course, is not as accurate as on medical devices. In addition, there is a fairly wide selection of workouts: there are 95 of them in total. But the manufacturer forgot to add the rather popular “skiing” program to the functionality.

Pros and cons
  • Large selection of sports programs
  • Display with thin bezels
  • Detailed sleep monitoring
  • No skis in training program
  • Inaccurate saturation

Top 4. Huami Amazfit Bip Lite

Rating (2022): 4.75
Accounted for 275 reviews from resources: Yandex.Market, Citilink, DNS, Svyaznoy, Otzovik, OZON
The longest work on 1 charge

A watch that bypasses not only the Apple Watch in terms of autonomy, but also many other wearable devices. The charge is enough for 40-45 days of work in a gentle mode.

  • Average price: 4020 rubles.
  • Waterproof: WR30
  • Display: 1.28″ TN TFT 176×176
  • Battery: 200 mAh; up to 45 days of work
  • Monitoring: activity, calories, sleep, heart rate
  • Compatibility: Android from 4.4, iOS from 9

Affordable smartwatch with a form factor similar to Apple Watch. This device works on bluetooth 4.1, is equipped with a simple transflective LCD screen. Lives without recharging up to 45 days in a sparing mode of use. There is also a water resistance of 3 atm, but the case of smart watches is actually only resistant to water splashes and sweat. But you can’t swim in them - over time or immediately after swimming they will fail. The model has only 4 built-in sports programs: running on a simulator or on the street, cycling and walking. But this is quite enough to meet the basic needs of the average user. Also, the device can measure the pulse, track sleep and count calories burned. But there is no GPS module here.During training, the device uses data from the smartphone.

Pros and cons
  • Excellent autonomy
  • Accurate pedometer and heart rate monitor
  • The screen is visible in almost any light level
  • Lots of watch faces
  • Some instances glitch after update

Top 3. HONOR Band 6

Rating (2022): 4.79
Accounted for 863 feedback from resources: Yandex.Market, IRecommend, OZON, DNS
Reliable assembly

The model has a minimum percentage of marriage. In addition, the device endures the most active operation.

  • Waterproof: IP68
  • Display: 1.47″ Amoled 368×194
  • Battery: 180 mAh; 336 hours of work
  • Monitoring: sleep, stress level, oxygen level, activity, calories
  • Compatibility: Android from 5.0, iOS from 9

A hybrid of a fitness bracelet and a smart watch from HONOR may well be a good analogue of Apple Watch on a limited budget. The device is inexpensive, equipped with a bright and rather large Amoled screen, and can measure the level of oxygen in the blood. This is the best model among state employees - it has everything you need for daily use. The device works on Bluetooth 5.0, has 10 sports modes, connects to smartphones on Android and iOS. There is also a physical button on the side that activates the screen. The main complaints about smart watches among users are caused by a fictitious pedometer and shutdown when overheated. Otherwise, the model fully justifies its cost. This bracelet is suitable for those who lead an active lifestyle, and those who need a smart watch for everyday wear.

Pros and cons
  • Can control music
  • Battery lasts up to 14 days without recharging
  • Correct display of fonts in notifications
  • Quality screen
  • Some watches shut off when overheated
  • Inaccurate step counting

Top 2. Huami Amazfit Bip U

The best budget analogue of Apple Watch

These smartwatches have the least negative reviews. They can compete with entry-level apple devices.

  • Battery: 230 mAh; up to 9 days of work
  • Monitoring: sleep, heart rate, activity, calories, oxygen levels

One of the best Apple Watch smartwatches. The model with Bluetooth 5.0 LE looks strict and stylish even despite the plastic case. The device not only counts calories, but also measures the level of oxygen in the blood. The function here works stably, which is rare among inexpensive smartwatches. The device is equipped with a silicone bracelet, the display has an oleophobic coating. By the way, about the screen: it is made using TFT technology. Of course, it is not as saturated as Amoled, but its brightness is enough even on a sunny day. The model has 60 sports modes, the ability to control the smartphone camera, receive and display notifications. The watch is definitely worth checking out. Only now, the owners of apple gadgets will have to face one unpleasant drawback. On iOS, the native Zepp app is malfunctioning.

Pros and cons
  • Fully displays WhatsApp notifications
  • Has a built-in pulse oximeter
  • Accurate heart rate measurement
  • Lightweight and comfortable
  • Native app crashes on iOS
  • Sometimes the pedometer lies

Also, smartwatches can measure oxygen levels, and quite accurately for a wearable device. The watch connects via bluetooth version 5, lives in a gentle mode for up to 10 days. And with a serious load, they can withstand 3-4 days. There is also water protection here: like in the Apple Watch, you can swim in this watch, dive to a depth of up to 5 m.

  • Animated workout programs
  • Stable GPS performance
  • Automatically determine the type of load
  • Problems when working with smarts from other ecosystems
