Watch this: Huawei takes on Apple in wearables segment

'Sexy yet traditional' product will make consumers pay up, industry analysts say

Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's first smartwatch, which was introduced a week ahead of the Apple Watch, will be the strongest suit for the Chinese company as it battles with Apple Inc in the wearable market.

Although the Apple Watch is likely to grab the biggest slice of the global smartwatch sector, the Huawei product, which features a round dial with a more traditional appearance, also looks sexy enough to make buyers pay, analysts said on Monday.
