Ulefone begin presales of their first wearable with the first 20,000 watches being offered at a special introduction price of only $29.99.

Android Wear devices are by far the most advanced and feature packed, but it is hard to justify spending a couple of hundred $ on a watch that will be obsolete in a few months. Therefore more customers have been checking out what China has to offer.
