Back in the days of Android Wear, the Huawei Watch was the piece of hardware that turned heads and took out wallets.

Wear OS has a new name, but it hasn’t seen a ton of new hardware lately. One of the more complete options for a while now has been the Huawei Watch 2, and today we’re getting some details on a new version of that device.
Pickings for new Android Wear-powered watches have been fairly slim this year, but one of the most notable options is currently the Huawei Watch 2.
