As promised, Huawei Watch finally reveals itself for the
second time. The Huawei's prime smartwatch previously had been showed off at
MWC 2015, and then about half a year later Huawei decided to market it.
During this period, it seems that Huawei has provided some
twists on its smartwatch. Huawei Watch will present more strap options. Then
there is also rose-gold coating option where Huawei will use real gold rather
than only gold paint, as well as a carbon-black coating which looks so elegant.
The rest, this smartwatch is exactly the same as revealed in
March. The diameter is still 42 mm, its crown remains at number 2, and it's
made from high-quality materials, such as the sapphire crystal glass to protect
its face.
Huawei Watch is still packing a 1.4-inch AMOLED screen
resolution of 400 x 400 pixels, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 SoC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
4.1 and a 300mAh battery. Nevertheless, the heart rate detection sensor has
been perfected. Huawei claims to have improved its accuracy and the process is
5 seconds faster than the Apple Watch.
Huawei Watch will come with the newest version of Android
Wear which brings iPhone compatibility. This makes it as one of Android Wear
smartwatches that can be paired with the iPhone.
Huawei Watch variant which uses stainless steel body and
leather strap will be offered with price of $ 349, while the most expensive
variant, the one that's covered with gold will be sold for $ 799. The marketing
will begin on 17 September, but only in 20 countries.
