Chinese company announces first android wear smartwatch

BEIJING; Chinese technology major Huawei has unveiled its maiden smartwatch as it looks to compete with global giants like Samsung, Apple and Motorola in the nascent, but growing wearables market.

The watch has been launched in classic, business and sporty versions powered by Google’s Android Wear operating system.

The Chinese company has also chosen to go with the round-face look, which has received favourable reviews from fashion-conscious youth over square-faced smartwatches.

Huawei CEO Consumer B.G. Richard Yu said that “Wearable devices will remain one of the most significant trends in the industry, and by leveraging Huawei’s technology and innovation, Huawei Consumer BG aims to be a leader in the wearable space,”.

The Huawei Watch features a 1.4 inch AMOLED, scratch & water-proof display, that can be paired with a smartphone running Android 4.3 or higher.

The device comes packed with health tracking functions and has a built-in advanced heart rate monitor sensor and built-in microphone.
