Since the launch of the Amazfit GTS smartwatches, many other manufacturers have been trying to copy these watches. Such clones are nothing new on the market.




Now let’s take a look at the replica of the aforementioned Amazfit GTS, which looks almost the same—but costs less than 18 euros.

Almost identical at first glance

The Amazfit GTS smartwatches from Huami are among the best-selling. Thanks to their success, many Chinese companies are trying to confuse buyers with a perfect copy.

All images included in this article are photos of a copy of the popular Amazfit GTS, which goes by the name P8 Smart Watch.

Amazfit GTS watches are usually available for around 110 € and up. The replica mentioned costs a bit over 20 €, which is really just a fraction of the original price.

From the outside, they’re almost indistinguishable—but inside, it’s a completely different story.

Finally, even the description of this replica is written in a way that makes it sound like it’s the original. That way, an inexperienced user might think it’s the real thing for a great price based on how similar they look.

It’s only a copy

This imitation is so perfect that even the product images are almost identical to the official Amazfit GTS images. But if you dig deeper into the copy’s specs, you’ll realize it’s really just a cheap imitation.

The real name of this copy is P8 Smart Watch, and to use it you need your own DFit app. The screen is 1.4 inches with a resolution of 240 x 240 px. It’s powered by a 170 mAh battery that provides 5–7 days of battery life.

The P8 watches have IP67 certification, meaning they’re water-resistant and dust-resistant. They also include a heart-rate monitoring sensor, sleep tracking, message display and incoming call notifications, measure steps, and more.

They come in several languages, including English, German, Chinese, French, and others. However, you won’t find Slovak or Czech in them.

With 1000 orders and great ratings

With everything they can do, many might think it’s actually an original Amazfit GTS. What’s interesting is that despite the copied design, they still have lots of orders and even many positive reviews from customers.

On AliExpress, these watches have more than 1100 orders and an overall rating of 4,8 out of 5 stars. As many as 83 % of ratings are 5-star ratings, and customers are very happy with the device.
