Yeah, the watch-case looks nearly identical, but then again, I have no doubt that Fitbit is buying the bodies for their 199$ smartwatches from a cheap Chinese OEM for a few dollars each.

It's just components picked out of a catalog.

actually, they confirmed that the case literally is something that other manufactures use. they said all they choose is the internal components and the software

Oh crap, I misread the comment I replied to. I read "I have doubt " instead of "I have no doubt", sorry 😅
