Android Wear to wear the Apple logo

Huawei’s long-awaited smartwatch briefly went up for preorders on Amazon on Friday before price and other details were eventually taken down. According to the listing, the Huawei Watch has a round 1.4-inch screen, comes in four different color and band combinations, and prices start at US$349.99 going up to US$799.99 for a gaudy gold version. It runs Android Wear - Google’s smartwatch operating system - and will be compatible with most smartphones running either Android or iOS. But wait a minute - Android Wear doesn’t work with iOS. It only works with smartphones running Android. There are workarounds, but at the moment, if you’re one of the millions with an iPhone, Huwaei Watch — and other Android Wear smartwatches — can’t easily sync with your phone. But if they manage to pull it off, its New Zealand release will surely be worth waiting for.
