you mean real? HK has every famous brand you can think of but whether or not you can save money buying in HK depends on where you are from. Do your homework based on how much things cost before you leave home and ask your hotel concierge where to buy LEGIT Genuine version of what you want (or ask here... we can probably help).
you mean fake? Go to the Mong Kok or Temple St market. Hotel staff will show you on a map or to get there. Plenty of copies, clothes, watches, hand bags, glasses etc. You may be invited to go "upstairs" to see the really good copies. If you feel comfortable go for it, I have done it many times, no problem. Negotiate!!!
if you have time, go to Shen Zhen just across the boarder, you may need a VISA depending on where you are from. Even better prices on fakes.
Other options include Stanley Market & Ladder streets Hong Kong side.
Many people say HK has declined as a great shopping destination but I don't agree... if you know where to go it's fine... you just need to be sure you buy at the right place. and do your home work. Lots of threads re where to buy watches etc if you do a search.
Since you joined a HK forum 3 years ago, I'm assuming you have been to HK? in which case I'm surprised you don't know where the markets are???
