????號外！就在蘋果Apple Watch細(xì)節(jié)即將揭曉的前一周，來自中國的華為搶先推出了自己的智能手表，該產(chǎn)品配備藍(lán)寶石玻璃表鏡和不銹鋼表帶，設(shè)計靈感來自一款瑞士鐘表。

????按市場份額計算，華為目前是全球第四大智能手機(jī)廠商。該公司在世界移動通信大會上向外界展示了這款智能手表。除了蘋果的新品發(fā)布會，巴塞羅那舉辦的世界移動通信大會可謂是移動科技領(lǐng)域最受關(guān)注的盛事。三星電子也在這里展示了它的最新旗艦級機(jī)型，并引起了極大關(guān)注。讓華為感到振奮的是，外界對這款智能手表的初步反饋良好。新聞博客網(wǎng)站Mashable對它的形容是“優(yōu)雅”；科技媒體TechCrunch也表示：“在運行谷歌軟件系統(tǒng)的可穿戴設(shè)備中，它很可能是有史以來最好看的產(chǎn)品之一?！?/p>

????和許多中國智能手機(jī)制造商一樣，華為正在努力拓展高端手機(jī)和可穿戴設(shè)備市場。由于中端智能手機(jī)市場已經(jīng)商品化，如果中國廠商想在海外市場獲得成功，就得提高品牌檔次。華為正在這方面加強(qiáng)努力。

????華為表示，計劃在20個國家銷售這款智能手表，包括美國、英國和加拿大。該公司隨后將公布該產(chǎn)品的發(fā)售日期和價格。

????初步看來，華為這款產(chǎn)品和Apple Watch不同的地方在于：前者有三種顏色，分別是金、銀、黑；Apple Watch則提供不同材質(zhì)的版本，如18K玫瑰金和黃金。同時，盡管對安卓系統(tǒng)持批評態(tài)度的人士先是稱贊了華為的智能手表，但他們也表示，不知道上市之后該產(chǎn)品的操作系統(tǒng)能否媲美Apple Watch。

????最近，華為決心在高端領(lǐng)域趕上三星和蘋果。這款智能手表則讓3月9日的蘋果發(fā)布會更讓人好奇了。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

????Surprise! A week before Apple Inc.unveils details for its watch, Chinese smartphone maker Huawei came out with a digital watch of its own, with sapphire crystal, stainless steel band and the design aspirations of a Swiss timepiece.

????Huawei, the world’s fourth-largest smartphone maker by market share, unveiled the watch at Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress, the biggest hyped event for mobile tech outside Cupertino. It’s where Samsung Electronics Co. drummed up excitement for its latest flagship phones. The initial feedback on Huawei’s Watch was encouragingly positive. Mashable called it elegant and TechCrunch said “it’s easily one of the best looking devices ever to sport Google’s wearable software platform.”

????Huawei is like a lot of Chinese smartphone makers striving to move up market with premium phones and wearables. The commoditized smartphone middle market is forcing the Chinese to add some premium flavor to their brands if they want success selling abroad. And Huawei badly does.

????Huawei says it plans sell the watch in 20 countries, including the U.S., U.K., and Canada, and said release dates and pricing will come later.

????Here’s initially where Huawei falls short of Apple’s watch: the Huawei Watch comes in three different colors in gold, silver and black, but Apple offers different materials, like 18-carat rose and yellow gold. And though Huawei earned early praise from Android critics, those same critics wondered if the operating system could compare to Apple Watch’s when it’s released.

????Still, Huawei is newly intent on trying to match Samsung and Apple’s premium wares. Its watch makes Apple’s event on March 9 just a little more interesting.
