As a challenger to the Apple Watch, Chinese company, Huawei, launched(发布) its smartwatch products in Britain on Wednesday. Two months after being launched in the United States, the Huawei Watch arrived in Britain as one of the most expensive smartwatches that run on Google’s Android Wear operating system(谷歌安卓穿戴操作系统). The price of Huawei’s smartwatches will be between 289 pounds to 599 pounds. This is part of Huawei’s goals to bring more products into markets outside of China.

Huawei has become the second largest Android brand in European Union’s big five markets---Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, according to the latest smartphone sales from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech for the third season of 2015. But the wearables(可穿戴设备) market is still in its beginning, with only three percent of the US population aged 16 owning a smartwatch. 11,000 consumers were surveyed in last August. The survey showed that 20 percent were not sure what smartwatches were, and 11 percent had never heard of them. 52 percent of those asked were able to know the smartwatches: something that you wear like a watch and that let you run apps(应用程序). According to Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, the wearables are becoming a big market for more and more companies.
