DT NO.1 DT88 First REVIEW: Budget Clone of Galaxy Watch Active?

Today it is difficult to say is the gadget a clone of well-known brand, or it has a similar design. It seems that there is no more a concept of “copy” or “clone” on smartphone market, because all mobile devices look similar to each other.

Until recently, smartwatches and fitness bracelets were original. However, today there are so many wearable devices, so they become similar to each other, just like smartphones. For example, Xiaomi Mi Band 3 and Mi Band 4 fitness bracelets are copied by many Chinese manufacturers, for example, BAKEEY M4 MAX.

DT NO.1 introduced the new fitness tracker DT NO.1 DT88, which looks the same as Samsung Galaxy Watch Active. Of course, the price of DT88 is much less than smartwatch from Samsung.
