You can buy the original Apple Watch from as low as RM899 in Malaysia

When Apple introduced its new Apple Watch Series 2, they had also updated its first gen smartwatch that’s called the Series 1. It looks exactly the same as the first gen Apple Watch but it runs on a newer dual-core processor for faster performance.

If you don’t want to spend too much money on a smartwatch, the original first gen Apple Watch is still up to mark and it can be yours from as low as RM899. That’s cheaper than most smartwatches in the market.
