Chinese gadget peddler Oppo has shown off its so-called “smart” watch, the “Oppo Watch.” Well, at least it looks smart. That’s because it’s nearly identical to Apple’s iconic Apple Watch. And, not only does it look like an Apple Watch, when you say “Oppo Watch” aloud, it sounds like “Apple Watch,” too!
The first teaser images of the Oppo Watch show its designers clearly used the Apple Watch as their inspiration.
The major difference is that the Chinese company replaced the rotating crown on the right side of Apple’s wearable with a simple button.
Pricing for Oppo’s wrist computer is not yet known. Still, it’s likely to undercut the cost of its US rival.
It's time to say hello to #OPPOWatch. 👀

MacDailyNews Take: Apple should immediately sue Oppo for trade dress infringement like they sued eMachines over the eOne back in 2000 and won.
Is “Oppo” short for opportunist?
No. Just like the name “John Dingler”, Oppo is an anagram of Poop.
Suing a digital developer can be likened to a horse and buggy trying to catch up to a car.
Or a kid with mud thrown at a canvas actually producing the kind of genuine art that eludes John “Oppoopo” Dingler
