Huawei Watch 3 is confirmed, but we’ll have to wait a while

By Kamran Zia -

  • Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei, confirmed that the Huawei Watch 3 is currently in development.
  • Since the Huawei Watch 2 is still selling well, Mr. Yu admitted that there are no plans to release the follow-up anytime soon.
  • With the Huawei P20 launch next month, it will be a long while before we hear any solid news on the new smartwatch.

Any hopes of Huawei announcing the Huawei Watch 2 follow-up before the end of Mobile World Congress 2018 are now dashed. Richard Yu, CEO of the company, informed TechRadar that while the Huawei Watch 3 is in development, it won’t see a release anytime soon. The reason? The Huawei Watch 2 is selling well enough that a new model isn’t necessary.

“It will come later – there’s no hurry because Huawei Watch 2 sells well. We’re not in a hurry, so we’re launching the new watch later,” Mr. Yu said.

Best smartwatches (February 2018)

Smartwatches are still a very new thing to a lot of people, and for good reason. You don't absolutely need one to get through the day, and some of the best smartwatches are much too expensive …

Huawei announced the Watch 2 last year at Mobile World Congress 2017, so it seemed logical to expect a successor this year. Instead, Huawei chose to announce its next flagship smartphone at its own event in Paris next month and used MWC 2018 to launch the MateBook X Pro and the new entries in the MediaPad 5 series.

Since the Watch 2 is selling well and the Paris event in March seems to be all about the upcoming Huawei P20, it’s unlikely that we’d see the Huawei Watch 3 until the second half of the year, possibly at IFA in September. Or, if the Watch 2 is still selling well, maybe not even until 2019.

The Huawei Watch 2 received favorable reviews, including from Android Authority, but it was dinged on its “sporty” design and cheap-feeling watch strap. Hopefully, the Watch 3 will address these issues; although if the Watch 2 indeed is selling well over a year after launch, Huawei may not change the formula up at all.

Since the launch of the P20 is generating quite a lot of buzz for Huawei, we probably won’t hear much else about this new watch until after that event.

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
