Huawei Watch Now in PH
What would you rather have as a boyfriend or girlfriend: smart but ugly or handsome/pretty but dumb?
This dilemma also applies with gadgets. You want a smartwatch which packs a punch when it comes to functionality but you can only wear it while jogging or working. You wouldn't wear it in events that require elegance because it looks sporty and nerdy. As a matter of fact, you can't match it with a suit or evening dress because most smartwatches are made of plastic materials.
But that is so 2015.
Last December 7, 2015 at the Green Sun Hotel in Makati, Huawei announced the arrival of a smart watch that will rival signature timepieces when it comes to appearance but powerful when it comes to functionality. Dubbed as the #HuaweiWatch, this gadget evolved from all the smart watches that were introduced in the market earlier this year and emerged different in one important aspect: the exterior's design.
When it comes to style, the Huawei Watch has a classic exterior that matches your fashion sense. Inspired by Swiss watches, its full circle display measuring 42mm in diameter and the traditional watch elements such as the crown, frame and dials exude elegance and authenticity. It’s made from 316L cold-forged stainless steel and sports a scratch-resistant, two-layer sapphire crystal display--the first android wear watch to have such!
The Huawei Watch highlights a person's individuality because of the numerous styles that it can offer. Aside from a few case color options, you can also change the straps with fine leather or stainless steel in seconds. The straps also come in various colors that matches the casing or you can create your own combination that represent your style.
But what makes the Huawei Watch smart? Now let's take a deeper look on its functionalities.
First it has a heart rate tracking perfect for cardio exercises. Second, it can count how many steps you make in 24 hours to help you maintain the recommended 10,000 steps a day for a healthy heart. Third, it can tell you how many calories you burn with the activities that you make so you'll have an idea on how much time you should spent on a treadmill after eating two glazed donuts. Fourth, it can tell you of your sleep time.
The best part of it all, it has an auto pattern recognition so you can learn from what you did in the previous days and you can track your progress and meet your goals.
By the way, you can marvel at these functions via the the HW's 1.4" AMOLED display.
Just like any other smartwatches, the battery life of the #HuaweiWatch lasts for 1.5 days. However, it has a fast charge capability which can power your watch's battery to 80% in just 45 minutes.
