At the Mobile World Congress, 2015, Huawei officially announced a brand new smartwatch called “Huawei Watch.” Apparently, this is the first smartwatch in the series of wearable gears from the company. The Huawei Watch will join the likes of the Motorola Moto 360, Samsung Gear S smartwatch and the LG G Watch R, among others, in the current smartwatches list.

Huawei Watch Specifications

Notably, the Huawei Watch is a “circular” Android Wear-powered smartwatch similar to the Moto 360. The device reportedly features a 1.4-inch AMOLED touchscreen display that comes with a pixel density of 286 ppi. Moreover, the smartwatch will be offered in gold, silver and black hues, The Verge notes.

Under the hood, the Huawei Watch is reportedly powered by a Qualcomm processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, and it is backed by 512 MB of RAM. In terms of memory specification, the watch is equipped with 4 GB of internal storage. There is also a heart rate monitor and a six-axis motion sensor housed in the device.

The smartwatch apparently has the ability to pair with any Android phone with the help of Bluetooth LE. Moreover, the gadget will be available in over 20 countries, which includes most of North America, Europe and South America. However, the Huawei Watch release date and pricing details will be made official at a later date, says the same site.

Huawei TalkBand B2

In addition to the Huawei Watch, the company also introduced a new version of the fitness wearable gear called the TalkBand B2. Apparently, this device is a “less sporty” variant of its predecessor, TalkBand B1. However, according to The Verge, Huawei claims that the fitness tracker is relatively more accurate than the B1. Furthermore, the TalkBand B2 comes with a vertical display; therefore, it looks more like a traditional watchface when compared to the horizontal B1. Nonetheless, the functionality of the band is reportedly limited to showing time, keeping track of step-count and also for tracking specific activities like running and cycling, Stuff TV notes.

On the other hand, similar to its predecessor, the TalkBand B2 watchface can reportedly be separated from the band and can be used as a Bluetooth earpiece. When it comes to battery life, the gadget will apparently offer up to six hours of talk time and nearly two weeks of stand-by time. Interested readers can check out the impressive photos of the Huawei Watch and the TalkBand B2 from The Verge.

Can the Huawei Watch give strong competition to the Motorola Moto 360 upon release? Feel free to leave a comment.
