Yes, we know there are fake Apple Watch devices available for sale in China, online and atcertain tech conferences, but what's behind the veneer of imitation smartwatch deception?
Do the insides of these cleverly crafted shams live up to the finely hewn artistry of Apple's internal case designs? We have yet to get our hands on the real Apple Watch, but one person cracked open one of the faux Apple Watches to see what was inside — and it isn't pretty.
Inside the fake (this one is a GT08): A common wristwatch battery and a plastic shell emblazoned with iconography encouraging you to recycle your garbage (once you've, inevitably, given up on the cheap knockoff).

A still from one of the Apple Watch promo videos showing off the internal case crafting. Slick.

Within the imitation, visually, we are transported into circuitry terrain as messy as the device's Android-powered touch interface.

The Digital Crown on the Apple Watch is a vital part of the device's interface. Here we see the precision-crafted case mold for the scrolling input component.

Yep, that kinda looks like a Digital Crown, but even in this midrange photo, the cheapness is apparent.

They decided to put the oval button (the communication button on the real Apple Watch) on the other side of the faux Apple Watch. So, not exactly an exact replica.

Yet another image of the casing for the Apple Watch. In this shot, the housing for the wireless, inductive charging unit is the focus. It does look a bit like art.

Oh, that's what the oval on the other side is for -- USB, of course. But how long until whatever that is holding that cover in place wears out and you're left with a gaping port on the side of the device?

The real deal Apple Watch in all its glory. Unfortunately, from far away, some fakes actually look pretty similar to this particular watch face.

And here's what your faux Apple Watch looks like when it's docked and syncing via Bluetooth with your iPhone. Yeah, not pretty.
