Huawei has already introduced its entry to the smartwatch arena at the Mobile World Congress early last month. We were able to get our hands on the company’s first Android Wear watch and we were impressed that it doesn’t look too geeky. It actually looks like any ordinary round watch. If it weren’t for the digital display, you’d think it’s just your average everyday watch.
The Huawei Watch has a potential to become a bestseller because of its classic design but we don’t know when it will be released exactly. When asked on Twitter when the smartwatch will be available, Huawei UK (@HuaweiUK) replied it will be “around the middle of this year”. It could mean June or during summer—in the UK. The answer seemed vague to the person who asked the question so he commented that maybe he should just buy a Moto 360.
Huawei UK knows the smartwatch is coming soon but no official UK release date has been given yet. Huawei could only be giving an estimate but we’re certain it will be this year. The Chinese company shouldn’t let this year be over without any sign of the smartwatch or else fans will go ahead and buy other options already available.
Here’s a quick review of the Huawei Watch specs so you’ll have an idea if this is something to be excited about: 4GB storage, 512MB memory, Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity, 1.4-inch round faced touchscreen, 400×400 pixel display, 286 ppi resolution, built-in heart rate monitor , and 6-Axis motion sensors. The smartwatch will also come with a magnetic charging station. No mention on availability and battery life but it should be able to last the whole day. As for the pricing, German retailer Billinger said it will cost 349 Euros which is around $370. The gold edition is said to be more expensive by 50 Euros.

When you start annoying/representing a new item and do mysterious about the launch date, you’re just bull shitting. People lose their patience and buy from other manufactures that make no fuss about anything.Huawei doesn’t have a big reputation concerning end products so they shouldn’t fool around.
Exactly. LOTS of people are on the fence right now when it comes to smart watches. All the time I see Android users saying, “Should I wait for the 2nd generation moto 360, or just get this one?” And almost every time, they go with a watch that’s out right now, because there’s no telling when the next models are coming out.
