Huawei has firmly placed itself into the SmartWatch game with a round-faced SmartWatch called simply the Huawei watch it's Josh of agar ferment or Authority what's going on everybody and as you can see here like I said this is the Huawei watch that I'm donning on my wrist now this is going to be one of the first Android wear watches to have sapphire crystal which is really nice but what you're looking at here is a one point four inch round AMOLED display that comes in at 400 by 400 resolution making it a little bit sharper then the other Android wear watches I have this particular shape but nonetheless underneath the surface we have Android wear of course that will have some of huawei's own additions to it namely a custom is customizable watch face of over 40 different types and from there Android wear will be mostly what you expect it to be but of course this demo unit is going to show you that already unfortunately we couldn't turn off the demo on our particular unit as they have just announced the watch and the demo units usually are the ones that we end up playing with but nonetheless the case measures about 42 millimeters and it comes in a few different colorations in this case I'm using the gold one with a leather strap that has a nice textured look to it and is genuine leather but the gold seems to have a different type of hue to it it almost looked like rose gold it seems to be somewhere in the middle so I thought that was pretty interesting but the black and silver editions that were at the casings looked really nice and can come with either leather or metal bracelets I also 18 millimeters is the size on those bands and bracelets and what you'll be able to do is just replace them if you do want to change the look pretty drastically but it's not too big as to alienate certain people who might not have very large wrists but for a lot of people out there this is going to be just right because of its classical look that makes this more of a watch that just happens to have some smart capabilities underneath on the unit itself the hardware includes a heart rate monitor on the back of it that will allow you to have a little bit of fitness tracking in there as Android wear watches all tend to have but the button the single button on the unit is a little bit off-center and it doesn't feel pretty nice on there but it's a very small detail that actually does give this watch a little bit of unique look ultimately this is an Android wear watch but it's very nice to see that Huawei is putting one out there and they've sort of paid it for word a little bit by creating a design that's not trying too hard to show off that it is a SmartWatch rather is trying to really blend in with a lot of the watches out there other than the fact that underneath the surface you get a lot of other functionality now we are going to get our own unit and I am looking forward to reviewing it and telling you what it is like compared to other Android wear smartwatches but until then we have just this demo unit so sorry about not being able to show you the software a whole lot but nonetheless this is the Huawei watch here at MWC 2015 thank you guys very much for watching this is Joshua car from Android authority bringing you this new watch from Huawei but make sure you stay tuned for all of our other coverage because we are your source for all things MWC
