Huawei has announced the availability of its two watches – Elegant and Jewel – in the United States stores.

The Chinese telecommunications company Elegant and Jewel are the company’s shot at appealing directly to female smartwatch owners. Jewel and Elegant are internally identical to the standard Huawei Watch but externally try to conform to women's watch design. There is a lot of gold plating, narrower bands in colors and textures that are not 'black' and 'boring', respectively.
