Huawei has launched the new Huawei watch for Indian consumers. The watch, with its classic design, inspired by Swiss timepieces, will go on sale exclusively on Flipkart.com starting today at 2 PM for Rs.22, 999.

With Bluetooth connectivity for wireless headphone usage, coupled with offline music download support, staying active is made even easier.
