Huawei smartwatch offers one key benefit over most of the earlier Android Wear watches: the Huawei Watch has a 1.4in fully circular screen that doesn’t have any cut-out parts like the original Moto 360, and has a slimmer screen surround than the Urbane.
It's a little bit thick, at 11.3mm and while it does its best to avoid seeming like a big burly watch, instead being open to all genders and ages, it does stick out a little way from your wrist. This is the part you may not appreciate from Huawei’s own flashy images. The 'crown' on the side is just a plain button too. Perhaps it’s still a bit too early to expect a super-slim, long-lasting Android Wear watch.
It’s certainly a bit more upmarket than some, though. You can get the Huawei Watch with black, silvery or gold rims, and all of them look pretty good. The gold is obviously more contentious, but from the pictures at least it stays on the right side of gaudy. The version I saw first-hand was the silvery one.
Just like the Apple Watch, the Huawei Watch gets you loads of options, with leather, metal and rubbery ‘sport’ straps on offer. The strap style is the 18mm standard too, letting you switch out one from the standard set for something more unusual if that’s your bag. From a quick feel of all the official straps, Huawei is not holding back on quality for the sake of a few quid.
On the specs front the big upgrade of the Huawei Watch is a 400 x 400 pixel AMOLED screen. It’s round, it’s 1.4in across and gets you a pretty great pixel density of 286ppi. That’s a larger screen, with more pixels, than the LG Urbane.
It’s good, but it’s still not perfect. Right up close the pixellation is pretty obvious, perhaps a little more so than on the Apple Watch. We’re not at mobile phone-grade quality with smartwatches yet. And while OLED screens fit watches very well, many show up pixellation way more than an LCD of the same resolution would do. Still, it's a very good watch screen overall.
Elsewhere, the 300mAh battery is meant to last around 1.5 days, still pretty much the norm for one of these watches. It’s no Pebble Time challenger on that front. And it uses a Snapdragon 400, like some older smartwatches, so that’s no surprise either.
The Huawei Watch has pretty much the same core sensors as all the other top Android Wear watches. You get an accelerometer/gyroscope combo and a heart-rate sensor, which sits on the back of the watch face. There's no GPS.
The Huawei Watch isn’t cheap, with an expected price of at least £300, and that will rise when you start adding jazzier straps.
