*Scam* Behold Anarc Smartwatch.

Why would people even buy random brands I don't understand. I am not sure if they realize that they have spent more money trying random products than buying real smartwatch from known brands like samsung or if apple is preference then apple watch.

Why would you consider anything other than samsung watch at that price point.
Its just rebranding a product and selling it at the highest price you can.

Exactly, and yet there were thousands of teens who bought this. The amount of waste content these tech reviewer produce is insane. barely 1/1000 video is worth watching
for an honest review.
If I had a budget from 5K to even 25K I will go for a Samsung.

I guess problem also lies in people who cannot afford the samsung / apple but still want those features and tend to be swayed by these random brands advertising all the those features and people falling for that.

Well I wanted to talk about it but was digging more. I was more interested in their claim of developing the app with in house developer and UX/UI designer. I watched Rohit's video and started digging into the app. Didn't know his original video was deleted. Was he false copystriked. It was a well made video with good research.

Anyway back to what I found. Downloaded the app and decoded to find more about it.
The app layers as mentioned in the video seems to be designed with a lot of Chinese SDK and services. No clear backdoor in code so far but it doesnt seem to be designed by Tech Burner team as claimed.

Just searching for tencent alone with grep gives me 83k hits in the code. Uses tencent sevices and apps like qcloud, imsdk and bugly

Similarly for Huawei. It uses a huawei chip so its understandable. Agconnect, hmf, hms

Even for basic event bus they use this liveeventbus from a Chinese developer where even the documentation is in Chinese. I am not a android app developer. Is it common to use apps from github where documentation is not easily available in English and its industry standard ?

Their claim to design, develop and produce this watch just appears to be false. It was made by a Chinese company and app designed in China. It was just bought as a package and labelled for sale. They did cosmetic changes to the app and tada you have a new product.

What I think is , he talked to a manufacturer in china, Got a watch + app from him, got them to made changes to app like brand and all. And simply imported the watch.
The only thing Made in India about this watch is the marketing, These guys even uploaded a SS to play store where the watch name was Apex (The watch manufacturer from china).

Mostly likely.

But I am glad for Rohit's video. Digging into this application was a nice side project which helped me learn a lot. Learnt about decompiling applications and adding your own spicy code to the app.

Really, if this is the case then those 1 braincell subscriber needs to unsubscribe now.

People are really into investing in scams now. ( Good profit)
Just a few days ago I was reading about a girl who got famous for saying HawkTuh, Started her podcast sponsored by a gambling company, then launched a meme coin and within hours dumped the coin and made millions.
If people are really that stupid, maybe I need to start planning a scam too. ( Investors please contact ).

Tech burner launched a watch, which is just a Chinese rebrand, called it his product that he did everything for it, app ui and all, selling emotions of make in India and epic Indian products. Comparing it to apple watch. But everything was a lie.
He wasn't selling a watch , he was selling emotions and story, that was the scam.
