6 Apple Watches You Can Make at Home

April 23 is Apple Watch day, when all those die hard first-adopters slap a new whoozy whatsit on their wrist and get giddy over acting like a detective from a 1930s comic strip.

So, either deal with your jealousy by making one of your own or show your defiance by highlighting your self reliance.

Either way, put something new on your wrist!

Still, everyone loves Lego and it's a lot cheaper probably.

Or just be really lazy

All you need is a rubber band and an iPhone. It looks like it will have most of the functionality of the watch, minus the cost of the actual watch.

The fashion appeal might suffer, however.
