China’s grey market for Apple Watches is going strong, with hundreds of models listed on Taobao alone. China’s fake Apple Watches are priced at an average of 298 RMB and resemble the real thing, or close to it. The watches generally support motion detection, third-party apps, are dust and water proof, and can be used with a SIM card. The largest difference is that fake Apple Watches run on Android.
When the Apple Watch was first released in China this past April, BBC and Voice of America (VOA) reported on fake versions already being sold for two or three hundred Yuan in China. The real version is priced at 2,588 RMB.
Despite the abundance of fakes, Apple sold 4.5 million units in the past quarter, according to Strategy Analytics. Apple has not published specific data itself on the product, but noted that the global market for smartwatches has increased by 510% this past year.

300 yuan for an Android watch sounds pretty good to me too.
