Huawei’s focus for this watch is notably different from the polished, fashion-forward approach for its first version. The new watch is much chunkier and larger than the prior model, but has a distinct focus on fitness-tracking features. As a result, it includes dedicated GPS for tracking runs and comes with extra software for tracking workouts. The Huawei Watch 2 also includes NFC for Android Pay.
The US release does not include the LTE-equipped version of the Watch 2 that Huawei demonstrated at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, but the company says it is currently in talks with carriers about releasing the connected version here.
The Huawei Watch 2 works with both iOS and Android and can be purchased at Best Buy, Amazon, and other retailers.
