Google showed one of its bets to enter the iPhone ecosystem with the presentation of Android Wear 2, the new version of the smartwatch operating system that, thanks to the new features it includes, promises to be a more than decent rival to Apple Watch, for now the undisputed king of smartwatches. Now what is missing is that manufacturers also see it as an opportunity that they cannot miss, and Huawei has been one of the first to show its cards with the new Huawei Watch 2, a smartwatch with a sporty design that includes everything necessary to convince iPhone users.
The new Huawei Watch 2 includes a heart rate sensor, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and NFC to be able to make payments through Android Pay, one of the novelties of Android Wear 2.0. But this is not here, because It has a 4G version with a SIM card slot that will work with any operator in the world, and will also be compatible with eSIM in those places where it is available. This own connectivity will be the main differentiating factor with respect to the Apple Watch and one of its main assets to compete with the Apple Watch. The specifications are completed with an autonomy of up to 2 days according to the Chinese brand, with which we can even monitor sleep without problems by not having to charge it every night.
The watch will be available from March in Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Germany and China, later reaching other markets such as the United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Switzerland, etc. Its price will vary depending on the model we choose, having the sports model without 4G for € 329 and the model with 4G connectivity for € 379, very competitive prices taking into account its benefits. There will also be a Porsche Design m 'Classic' model with a steel case for € 399. As a user of the Apple Watch from the moment of its launch I am absolutely convinced that with Android Wear 2.0 and the possibility of installing applications directly from the Google Play Store, one of the enormous limitations of previous generations of Android watches, these new models that They are going to appear on the market, they are going to start to battle hard with the Apple watch.
