News & Reviews:   Huawei Watch

Most smartwatches don't actually look like a watch, but the Huawei Watch beautifully combines the best of both. Featuring a 1.4-inch AMOLED 400 x 400 pixel round touchscreen watch face and premium metal link band and design we did a hands-on video of the more expensive (RM1999) black-plated Huawei Watch. Check it out for yourself in this article.

The Huawei Watch combines an elegant yet traditional watch design with the highest resolution 1.4-inch AMOLED round touchscreen face of any smartwatch to date. Priced from RM1799 for the silver link stainless steel version we managed to get our hands on the Black Metal plated version at RM1999. Find out what else comes in the box for the RM1999 black plated Huawei Watch in our unboxing video.

Having trouble what to get for your friends and family? Fret not, Huawei is here to help with a “Wei To Christmas Gift Guide” (you see what they did there?). The list below will assist you on which of the devices are suitable for your friends and family, so without further ado...

According to new rumours, a new Huawei Watch is currently under development and the wearable will be aiming at a new target audience - the ladies.

Reports suggest the wearable design will be “rounder”, more elegant and coming in “feminine-looking” bands. Watch faces will also be designed to fit the female audience’s taste, don’t be surprised if the colour options are gold and rose gold which has been quite popular among the women. 

The Huawei Nexus 6P and Huawei Watch have officially landed in Malaysia today at surprise, surprise RM2698 and RM1799. Both devices are full metal but the Huawei Watch does come with a Black Metal plated version at RM1999. The full metal unibody Nexus 6P comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, a fingerprint sensor, dual front speakers, USB Type-C ports and a 12.3MP rear camera with super large 1.55-micron pixel Sony sensor that can record 4K video at 30fps. The equally premium looking Huawei Watch on the other hand sports a round 1.4-inch AMOLED display with 400 x 400 pixel resolution. 

Both devices will be available starting 10 December 2015 at VMALL.my and Lazada but if you're looking to get up close and personal with them, they will only be available at the Huawei concept stores late next week. You'll still have to buy them online but the first 600 to do so will get a free Google Chromecast. Huawei Malaysia are planning to bring in a number of cases and straps and accessories but there are still no specific Malaysia release dates.
