Huawei Watch release date and price UK
At the time of writing Huawei hasn't officially released details on where the Huawei Watch will launch or when. However, we do know it will come to the UK because MobileFun has the device up for pre-order. The retailer is expecting stock in 3-5 days.
As we expected, the Huawei Watch will cost £300 matching a number or rivals but that's just for the black and silver models. If you like a bit more bling then the gold option will set you back a little more at £350.
Huawei Watch specs and features
The design of a smartwatch is arguably the most important element, especially in the Android Wear market where software is the same and components are often identical. Huawei has gone for a round shape rather than square. As alluded to previously, it comes in three different colours and various straps including leather or steel.
There's nothing majorly stand-out about the specs which you can see below but another design point is that the physical power button is located at 2 o'clock rather than 3 o'clock making it easier to press.
