you know how the saying goes first you see it on a poster and then you see it on your wrist and if you didn't know that saying well now you do i michael fisher with pocket now and the Android wear ecosystem just got another circular screen with the Huawei watch if Motorola's Moto 360 is Android wears formal addition and LG's G watch R is the beefier sportsman of the two then the Huawei watch slots somewhere in between without falling into the trap of aping either the casing is 316l stainless steel and thicker than the 360 but not so tall as to be off-putting it's kind of like a medium-sized slammer if you played pogs back when wristwatches were just wristwatches there's the requisite heart rate monitor on the back and you've got a choice of bands as well gold link or black leather on the units we tested with the metal band snapping open and shut with an elegant butterfly clasp the front side is of course dominated by the display a 400 by 400 round panel with 286 pixels every inch Huawei also claims a 1,000 to 1 contrast ratio and while that might not be apparent here since the demo units were locked at their absolute maximum brightness I can confirm that the screen is quite a looker in person it reminds me of the G watch R and that goes for the size 2 at 1.4 inches it's a little smaller than I'd like it looks much smaller than the 1.5 6 inch screen on the Moto 360 though the quality is much higher and the raised ridge around the side of the Huawei watch sometimes makes interactions a little dicey of course Android wear is just Android wear and this is very early hardware and software with a demo mode running on top we'll see how it does in the real world when we can review it properly when we do word is this should be a tough sucker to scratch between the sapphire crystal cover glass and the cold forged steel Huawei seems to understand how tough we can be on our wrist wear combine the durability claims with a full range of available wrist bands and some kind of magnetic charging station and hawawa watch has most of the makings of a luxury Android wear device we'll have to wait and see whether the pricing reflects that when the watch sees release in gold silver and black this summer and yes unlike Huawei's smartphones this device will be sold in the United States stick with us both here on YouTube and at pocketnow.com for our continuing coverage of MWC 2015 and be sure to follow the guys on the ground at the links in the description below for all the trade show banter you can handle until next time this has been michael fisher with PocketNow with jaime Rivera and Anton de Naja on production thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next one
