That isn't what makes the Huawei Watch special. Instead it's about providing users with a premium, luxurious build, one that could be mistaken for a high-end traditional watch.</p> <p><div class="inline-item"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054559/http://www.gizmag.com/huawei-watch-review-hands-on/39265/pictures#1" target="_blank"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054559im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/huawei-watch-hands-on-1@2x.jpg" alt=""> </a> </div> </p> <p>We tried out both the silver and black steel cases, as well as steel and leather straps. We found the silver body to look notably higher-end than the darker case, which has subtle dial markings reminiscent of last year's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054559/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-g-watch-r-review/34935/" target="_blank">LG G Watch R</a>.</p> <p>Pairing leather or steel band with the silver case makes for a ridiculously good-looking wearable. Like the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054559/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-watch-urbane-review/37330/" target="_blank">LG Watch Urbane</a>, it has a fully round display and like the Moto 360 a minimal bezel with chamfered edges. Many smartwatch-makers have put an emphasis on fashion, but Huawei's is the most convincing of the bunch so far. If you're shopping for a damn good-looking smartwatch, all hail Huawei.</p> <p>The leather band might just be the most luxurious feeling smartwatch strap we've tried so far, and the metal link band has more weight to it (in a good way) than Android Wear competitors like the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054559/http://www.gizmag.com/asus-zenwatch-2-review-hands-on/39246/" target="_blank">Asus ZenWatch 2</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054559/http://www.gizmag.com/moto-360-2-review-hands-on/39232/" target="_blank">second generation Moto 360</a>.</p> <p><div class="inline-item"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054559/http://www.gizmag.com/huawei-watch-review-hands-on/39265/pictures#3" target="_blank"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054559im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/huawei-watch-hands-on-3@2x.jpg" alt=""> </a> </div> </p> <p>The band pictured above also has a deployment buckle, where the clasp is practically invisible when closed. It's something you'll routinely find on non-smart luxury timepieces, and adds an extra touch of class here.</p> <p>One technical area where the wearable sits at the top of the Android Wear field is its display. The circular screen has a 400 x 400 resolution over 1.4-inches. That equates to a respectable 286 pixels per inch, making Google's wearable OS look sharper than ever. For some context, the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054559/http://www.gizmag.com/apple-watch-review-iwatch-review/37244/" target="_blank">Apple Watch's</a> display comes out to roughly 326 PPI, while the new <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054559/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-gear-s2-review-hands-on/39252/" target="_blank">Gear S2's</a> is 302 PPI, so Huawei's still trails a bit behind its biggest non-Android Wear rivals.</p> <p>Given the higher price point of the watch (depending on configuration, it ships for between US$350 and $800), it won't be for everyone.
