Huawei has a new smartwatch, although the wearable device comes from its honorary subsidiary, not directly from the tech giant itself. Although not the most gorgeous timepiece, the new watch is indeed cheaper than the Apple Watch.

The new smartwatch is called Smart Watch 2, and its small version is 42mm, which lasts for a week, while the larger version is 46mm, which lasts up to 14 days. Both watches use Huawei Kirin A1 chip and have 15 fitness modes that can track your movements and answer calls via Bluetooth near your phone.

Sleep tracking is also part of the new wearable device. According to the company, Magic Watch 2 can "accurately track the diagnosis of six common sleep disorders and provide more than 200 pieces of advice on your sleep habits" to help you sleep better.

The built-in heart rate monitor can also work 24 hours a day. If your heart is "above or below normal", it will give you an alarm.

In terms of specifications, the 46mm watch uses a 1.39inch AMOLED touch screen and the 42mm watch uses a 1.2inch AMOLED display. Both will be available in a variety of colors, equipped with GPS kits, and will be waterproof to 5 atmospheres, or about 165 feet (50 meters).

According to TechRadar, Magic Watch is supported by Huawei's own software and does not run Google's Wear OS version, so whether there is third-party application support remains to be seen.

The new watch will be launched on December 12 in Europe, the Middle East and Asia (including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Thailand and Singapore). The 42mm starts at EUR 179 (about £200150) and the 46mm starts at EUR 189 (£210160).
