ONE dog has been causing a bit of an upset in Beijing, China - not that it's the dog's fault.
Keke the husky has been pictured wearing two of the new Apple watches, together worth around £26,000 ($40,000). His owner is Wang Sicong, 27, the son of one of China's most powerful property magnates who was listed as one of the country's top 30 richest people by Forbes magazine.
Keke has his own Weibo micro blog, written by Sicong, and on it said: "I have new watches! There should have been four watches because of my four long legs, but in case I look too 'tuhao' [vulgar nouveau riche], it was decided that I should wear two - but no fewer, or it would not fit my status. Do you have one too?"
This display of conspicuous wealth is not sitting well with some of Sicong's countrymen. Weibo user Jing-Hou replied: "Our world still has many people who can't afford a meal or are starving, meanwhile there are idiots with golden spoons squandering money. The world is hopeless."
Some are just plain jealous. Banduwenliangssb wrote: "I'm so p***** off that I want to cry. Even a dog has one of these gold Apple Watch Editions, I don't even have an Apple Watch Sport."
Videos and pictures of dogs wearing the new Apple watch could become a bit of a trend. Here's a Youtube video of a dog in Japan wearing one of the new "must-have" accessories for wealthy people:
