Huawei, the third largest smartphone manufacturer, has launched its smartwatch Huawei Watch in India. Earlier this year, Huawei had launched its smartwatch with a leather strap. The new model comes with the strap made up of stainless steel. The latest smartwatch model will be available for Rs.22,999 and will be sold exclusively on Flipkart. Huawei has also reduced the price of leather band variant to Rs. 19,999.
The primary highlight of the Huawei smartwatch is that it has an inbuilt speaker, which allows you to make and receive calls from your wrist without the need of taking your phone out of the pocket. So cool! It has an IP67 certification for water and dust proof resistance making it a durable option to consider.
The smartwatch is equipped with a heart rate sensor. It also has a 6-axis sensor for tracking our fitness. The watch’s algorithm can distinguish between activities such as running, walking, climbing and more. The watch also accepts voice commands which can be used for various purposes—playing music, looking for a route, call contact and much more. Last but not the least, the watch has a “find my phone” feature to track your lost phone.
