Chinese OEM, Huawei has launched its wearable device, the Huawei Watch, at the IFA 2015 Trade Show in Berlin.

The watch runs on the latest Android Wear version, and sports a 316L cold-forged stainless steel body, with lugs and the button is placed at the 2 o’clock position.
The watch measures 42mm in diameter, and is 11.3mm thin, and is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, with 512 MB RAM, and has 4GB of internal storage. The sensors in the watch include: 6-axis motion sensors, Gyroscope + Accelerometer, Heart Rate Sensor, Barometer, and a mic.
The watch is backed by a 300mAh battery, and is touted to give 2 days of battery life. It supports fast charging which charges 80 percent of the battery in 45 minutes, or 75 minutes for a full charge.
The Huawei Watch supports Bluetooth 4.0 LE and Wi-Fi. Huawei offers a variety of straps including Leather (Brown and Black), Stainless Steel Mesh, Stainless Steel Links, Rose gold, and Black-Plated Stainless Steel links.
