At least eight vendors on Taobao advertised watches as "Apple Watch" or "Apple Watch Lookalike". Most of the people say that they were compatible with Apple's iOS or Google Inc's rival Android operating system. 

Moreover one vendor jokingly used Chinese slang for a vulgar rich person, offering an "All New Apple Tyrant Gold Mobile Phone - Supporting Watch" only for 188 yuan ($45). Other eight vendors failed to respond to questions from The Associated Press sent through their Taobao accounts.
