Huawei impressed the tech crowd with its smart watches last year, but it’s going after a more premium market with the announcement of the Jewel and Elegant versions this time, in collaboration with Swarovski.
The two watches, shown at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronic Show yesterday, join the Classic, Active and Élite models launched in 2015.
The Jewel features 68 Swarovski zirconia, each measuring 1·5 mm, around its rose gold-plated case. The Elegant has a knurled pattern effect around its rose gold-plated case. Both are complemented by Italian leather watch straps in pearl white and sapphire blue, and come loaded with over 40 watch faces, including 10 exclusive designs that Huawei calls ‘feminine’.
They are powered by Android Wear and are both Android and IOS compatible, have Bluetooth connectivity, and can accept voice commands for music and navigation. The watches also include a heart-rate sensor and a motion sensor for fitness and health.
