Huawei Watch Review

Lisa Gade reviews the Huawei Watch, one of the first new generation Android Wear smartwatches. It features WiFi, iOS compatibility, an attractive 316L stainless steel casing and a round design. The watch starts at $349 with a leather band, and there’s a black stainless model with stainless black link band for $450 and a rose gold model that sells for $699 to $799. We look at the base model, and all models have the same internals, heart rate sensor, sapphire glass display cover. The watch has the usual 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 CPU with 4 gigs of flash storage and 512 megs of RAM. It has a 300 mAh battery and comes with a magnetic charger. The AMOLED 42mm, 1.4” display is colorful and sharp and it has 286 PPI pixel density. Like all smartwatches, it requires a companion smartphone, since it basically acts as a second screen for your phone. It’s compatible with all brands of Android phones as well as the iPhone.
