2015 has had a good share of Android wearables announced this year, and more and more companies are still jumping on board the growing trend of smartwatches.
Huawei took a leap of faith to gain more favor amongst other OEMs by providing an extension of 12 months to the already existing 12 month warranty for their Huawei watch. Doubling the standard warranty length is the company's way of showing how much they believe in their product as Android Headlines shares.
Huawei, Motorola, Sony, LG and Asus have all introduced their new Android Wear and it's also important to note that Apple Watch, the groundbreaker for wearables, was launched only this 2015. The market is expecting to see more smaller China-based device providers to come up with their versions of smartwatches.
Both the OEM and Google are hoping this would ease the difficulty of having to commit to a $399 price tag for the smartwatch, said Android Police. Huawei has made big waves this year releasing successful smartphones like the Nexus 6P, which was done in partnership with Google. Their venture into watches is deemed to be a big success with the excellence the device carries.
The Huawei Watch is a smartwatch with materials made of metal. The wearable has a 1.4-inch full circle AMOLED display (400 x 400 screen resolution), packs in 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a 300mAh battery. Powered by the Snapdragon 400 quad-core SoC, the device is compatible with Android 4.3+ and iOS 8.2+ devices.
9to5 Google does add however, that in order to avail of the extended warranty, Huwawei watch buyers must register their devices within 45 days of purchase. The offer is made available to all those who will purchase their Huawei Watches via US retailers.
In addition, the Chinese-made smartwatch is now available to purchase in the German Google Store. In US stores, you can get your own milanese loop-like bracelet variant for $399, which is reportedly the same model you can now buy in Germany.
