Consumers looking to purchase Huawei Watch can do so through a pre-order scheme that is going to take part in several regions of Europe, including the United Kingdom. Additionally, the same scheme will also be taking place in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Similar to Moto 360 and LG G Watch, Huawei Watch is able to maintain a very simple yet elegant design while posing as a both a wearable and a luxury item. However, due to its high price tag, it might be difficult for Huawei to garner sufficient sales.

MobileFun is currently taking pre-orders, with the base price starting from $386.99 (for the black and silver editions with a metal band). The gold version will set the customer back by $451.49, which will easily be dismissed by critics as an exorbitant price for a smartwatch. Given below are details concerning the price tag of Huawei Watch according to the regions that consumers are residing in.

Europe:

  • Black and silver: €427 ($464)
  • Gold: €498 ($541)

United Kingdom:

Coming to the hardware specifications, Huawei Watch features a 1.4 inch AMOLED display which renders a 400 by 400 resolution. Additionally, powering up the device will be Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, along with 512 MB of RAM. Apart from its appealing design, the wearable can also be used as a heart rate sensor, barometer, and several others in order to help the fitness-eccentric crowd keep a tab on their critical vitals. The price might be a bit on the high side, but as more and more wearables are released in the near future, price drops can be expected.
