It also has 45 mm case, but there are leather straps, so it looks more professional. Unfortunately, this version doesn’t support 4G LTE (lack of card slot), but thanks to it battery life is a bit longer.

Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 is the heart of the devices, and works under control of Android Wear 2.0 (Huawei is the first Chinese manufacturer, that offers Android Wear 2.0 devices).
