News & Reviews:   Huawei Watch 2 Classic

Huawei Malaysia held a media briefing for their Huawei Watch 2 today, confirming that Malaysia will be getting the 4G LTE version for RM1999. Featuring a premium round metal body like traditional watches, the Huawei Watch 2 has a sporty plastic strap and is completely standalone, meaning it has its own nano SIM and can work without a phone. No news on the Huawei Watch 2 Classic or Porsche Design version yet but the Watch 2 is currently available with Maxis who is offering the Watch 2 with the Huawei P10 or Mate 9 on their Zerolution bundles from RM78 per month featuring 2 nano SIMs for a single number.

Are smartwatches going downhill? Well, according to Huawei CEO Eric Xu, he actually thinks so (#shocking) and has started doubting whether investing into smartwatches is even worth doing anymore.

Aside from the recently announced Huawei P10 and P10 Plus in Barcelona, the Huawei Watch 2 also proved to be quite popular among the crowd on the first day of MWC 2017, we managed to get some hands-on on the wearable so check out the video!

Today, not only Huawei has finally unveiled the long awaited P10 and P10 Plus in Barcelona but a brand new Huawei Watch 2 as well. The new Huawei Watch 2 is designed for the "free spirit" (you know, sports stuff) and also has new colours to suit different people's style, as well as being able to connect without the phone's assistance.
