Huawei's first Android Wear watch joins an already full roster, and manages to stand tall in the crowd.
The balance smartwatches need to reach between technology and fashion is a complicated one. Lean too far in either direction and you lose a significant chunk of your potential audience, and when you consider the third axis — a competitive price tag — every decision in the balance is immeasurably important. We've seen some manufacturers focus on price, some on features, and at least a couple decide to focus entirely on sport and fitness functionality.
Huawei has made its position in the smartwatch market clear from Day 1. It wants its watch to be seen as the most watch-like smartwatch out there, the one that wrist-computer people who wear watches would consider replacing their daily driver with. To get there, Huawei focused on high-end build materials and numerous options, and a little less on a competitive price tag, while striking the balance between technology and fashion.
When it was all said and done, the Huawei Watch was born. Here's our review.
