Teaser for the Huawei Watch confirms September 2nd as the release date

Back at MWC in March, Huawei introduced the Android Wear powered Huawei Watch. Six months later, the timepiece will finally be released.

The launch date is confirmed by a teaser that was tweeted by the manufacturer which will be on Wednesday 2nd September 2015. Besides the U.S., the smartwatch will be offered in China, Canada, the U.K., France, Germany, Japan and Australia.

The teaser shows a side image of the watch with the words “Elegance and Power in Perfect Harmony.” That is followed by the location and date of Huawei’s upcoming media event. The company is hosting a product announcement event on September 3rd in Berlin.

The aptly watch is named Huawei Watch, and it’s getting great attention and could be termed among the best looking Android Wear watch we’ve seen yet.

According to the Android Central blog, the body is constructed from cold-forged stainless steel and a Sapphire Crystal lens, this is about the closest in terms of construction and materials of any smartwatch out there right now to traditional timepieces.

Moving on to the display, and CEO, Richard Yu, proudly declared the Huawei Watch to have the best looking screen of any current Android Wear watch. At 400×400 it’s a higher resolution than the competition and it’s extremely nice to look at. The new Huawei Smartwatch the Moto 360 with a slightly larger and 320×290 resolution display, the difference is noticeable.

Huawei Watch has a 42 mm diameter, so the whole watch face is narrower than the 360. And it’s not that thick, either. Compared to a traditional watch, it’s about on par.

Huawei Watch charges with magnetic pins on the back, similar to several other current Android Wear watches. It has a little hockey puck style charging dock you sit it in, and that’s about it. No fancy wireless charging or anything like that.
