Huawei Watch was unveiled earlier last March during the Mobile World Congress in Spain; it was supposed to be launched in June but the company missed the date.

Nevertheless, the watch is ready and is now making its arrival to U.S. markets by Sept. 17. It will be available through Best Buy, Amazon, Google Store, and GetHuawei.com, according to reports.

The price for the smartwatch will start at $349 and pre-orders have started last Sept. 2. 

The Huawei Watch has a 1.4-inch round AMOLED display and runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with 512 MB RAM.

It also has a 4 GB internal storage capacity and carry features such as accelerometer, gyroscope, heart rate monitor, and barometer sensors. In addition, the watch also has a built-in microphone and Bluetooth 4.1. It can also connect to Wi-Fi.

Inside, the watch runs on a 300 mAh battery and can go on for two days without charging. Once the battery runs low, the wearer can still enjoy the quick charge feature that will boost the battery by 80 percent in less than an hour, or from 0 to 100 percent in 75 minutes, reports iDigitalTimes.

Huawei Watch is also powered by Android Wear 1.3 and is compatible with devices that use Android 4.3 and up.

Apart from being compatible with Android devices, the watch can also work well with Apple devices, as long as they are running iOS 8.2 and later versions. 

The watch does not only offer impressive specs on the inside but it also looks pretty and luxurious.

The watch comes in three designs: black, gold, and stainless steel. The stainless steel design is the base model and a wearer can choose to have it with steel links, leather band, or a mesh loop, as reported in Mashable.

Mashable also detailed that the leather band option is the cheapest — costing $349. If customers want to go for the other two options for their stainless steel choice, they have to shell out $50 more to get them.

The black variant sells for a higher price at $499 and it already comes with black links. The gold variant — rose gold to be more specific — sells for $699 and it comes with an alligator texture leather straps. The gold links for the rose gold variant sells for a whopping $799.
