  • The Huawei Watch 2 (2018) is a slightly upgraded version of the original Watch 2.
  • It now comes with an eSIM variant as well as a new color scheme.
  • Other than these two changes, the watch is identical to the previous version.

The Huawei Watch 2 is one of the best Android wearables on the market. In fact, it is the only watch that Google uses for testing of Android upgrades within the Wear OS ecosystem.

Now, via 9to5Google, the Huawei Watch 2 is getting a slight refresh for the Chinese market. Before you get incredibly excited about getting your hands on a new Huawei watch, you should note that there are very few upgrades to this new version. In fact, Huawei isn’t even changing the name; it’s merely the Huawei Watch 2 (2018).

The most significant update to the Huawei Watch 2 (2018) is the addition of an eSIM variant. This version of the watch enables you to connect the wearable to cellular data without the hassle of having to put a nano SIM into a slot on the watch.

The new eSIM variant comes exclusively in a new color: “Carbon Black.” Pictured above, the watch is mostly black with bright yellow accents on the watch band.

Best smartwatches (May 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 …

Other than the eSIM option and the new color scheme, everything else about the Huawei Watch 2 is the same as its predecessor. It still comes with a Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset, 768MB of RAM, and 4GB of storage.

Even the pricing remains the same, with the two connected models going for 2,000 Chinese yuan (~$310) and the Bluetooth-only option going for 1,540 Chinese yuan (~$240).

Since the watch is a Chinese exclusive, the NFC chip inside is connected with Chinese payment systems rather than Google Pay. Keep this in mind if you intend to import this to a different country.

You can buy the Huawei Watch 2 (2018) from Vmall.

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
