hey it's James with the verge and we're looking at the Huawei watch - this is the latest Android wear SmartWatch form Huawei it's running Android wear 2.0 and it comes with built in LTE for mobile connectivity and data on the go you also got GPS for tracking your location when you're out and about and you've got a heart rate sensor on the inside and it's also NFC which supports Android paint so you can use it for paying things at the store - now compared to the last while way SmartWatch we saw that was the wire way watch was unveiled back in 2015 it's got a bit of a smaller display 1.2 inches instead of 1.4 inches it's also a bit thicker as you can see there on the side a bit of a chunkier model and that's presumably to fit in the extra connectivity like the LTE connection the rest of the watch is pretty standard you've got two buttons on the side you've got a microphone in the speaker and inside you've got a 420 milliamp battery now while weigh says that will get you battery life that will last you around two days and you've also got a low power mode which will last for 24 days says Huawei but that will only tell you the time and count your steps there's interchangeable straps and also ip68 water resistance now as we've seen with other Android watch makers in the market Huawei is kind of focusing on fitness and health tracking with this one so I've only been playing with this thing for a couple of minutes but my initial impressions are that it's a kind of a cheaper feeling watch than we've previously seen from Huawei it's made out of plastic rather than metal to allow for the LTE connection it's also a bit of a chunky design it's quite masculine and it doesn't seem like Huawei is bringing out any smaller models that might be better suited for people with smaller wrists now why away says the watch 2 will be available in European markets including Spain France Portugal Italy and Germany in March and in April it'll be coming to the US the UK and other European countries the highway watch 2 has the plastic chassis to allow for the LTE connection but if you do want a metal exterior you can go for the far away watch - classic pricing will begin at 329 euros which is about 350 dollars so that's it for the Huawei watch - stay tuned for more news from MWC and find us at youtube-dot-com forward-slash the verge
