What's the least expensive smartwatch (i.e. runs Android - *not* just compatible with) that can sideload .APKs?

If it's only for testing purposes you can use Android emulator. It's also slow, so it's good for testing performance Smiley i.e. if it runs smoothly on emulator it'll run smoothly on almost anything.

You should be able to pick up a second-hand Sony SmartWatch 2 or Samsung Galaxy Gear for around $50 these days.

Good advice guys.  Thank you!

Yeah, the end goal is to run my own games on these things.  I was hoping someone knew of a cheap new android knock-off watch that can sideload .apks. 

For testing an emulator or Sony Smartwatch seems like the best start.
