Huawei Smartwatch, which is being touted as one of the best Android wear watch, will launch in several markets across the globe in this year itself, but its Chinese release has been postponed to 2016. Find out why?

The Huawei smartwatch is being promoted as one of the best options in the wearable technology category. While the new gadget is all set to hit markets across Europe, America and other parts of the world in the third quarter this year, the makers are being compelled to delay its release in China. According to reports on Android Authority, Huawei is blaming Google for the delay as the smartwatch is experiencing problems with its Android operating system in China.

Meanwhile the authorities at Huawei are also attempting to justify the delay with a certain Mr. Yang, quoting the Apple smartwatch release delay. While Google's wearable technology platform was introduced a year ago, the smartwatch maker is bound to experience problems in China as the search engine giant's services are not completely accessible in the country. Another report on Yibada said that the smartwatch will be available in more than 20 countries worldwide and comes with awesome features like a built-in heart rate monitor and a 1.4-inch touchscreen.

In spite of the issues, the company has decided to continue with the operating system offered by Google. But, Huawei has announced that it will not rely on proprietary interface of its TalkBand fitness tracker range for the future models of the smartwatches. When it was announced at Mobile World Congress, Huawei's new smartwatch received an overwhelming reaction from audiences across the globe.

As of now, the watch will be available in three distinct colors - Black, Gold and Silver. While the black and silver models are going to be available for an approximate cost of three hundred pounds, the gold version will be priced at an extra fifty pounds for its highly sophisticated look.

The other specs of the smartwatch are quite similar to the other models, the major difference that separates this model from its Apple counterpart is the large screen size of 42 mm.
