Knock-Off Apple Watches Hit the Chinese Market Less Than 24 Hours After Launch

schwit1 writes Fake versions of the Apple Watch can be bought for as little as £25 — despite the fact the real thing will set you back more than 10 times that. The flagship new product was only launched in San Francisco yesterday but knock-offs are already available in China. According to CNN Money, they can be found at Huaqiangbei electronics market in the southern city of Shenzhen, and others are being sold nationwide via popular e-commerce websites. Right down to the digital crown, the fakes mimic the design and style of Apple's new offering.

    But the important question - Do they work?

    ...Because a sub-$100 knock-off counts as the only way I'll ever try one.
