Chinese tech giant Huawei announced a stainless steel smartwatch at Mobile World Congress that runs Android Wear and relies on Jawbone’s UP software ecosystem.
Huawei, the world’s third largest cellphone maker, is very little known in the United States consumer market — although it is no stranger to the enterprise world — but has been working hard to raise its profile.
The Huawei Watch is a circular watch with a 1.4-inch touch-sensitive AMOLED display. It incorporates the usual set of sensors — six-axis accelerometer, barometric sensor, and heart-rate monitor. It uses a magnetic charger.
Pricing and availability were not announced.
