BARCELONA, Spain—Huawei might not be well-known in the US, but behind Apple and Samsung, the Chinese company is currently battling for the #3 smartphone spot with Lenovo and Xiaomi. At Mobile World Congress this year, the company surprised us by taking on the Android Wear smartwatch category, and the result is something that looks really good—easily the best smartwatch of MWC.

While the Urbane only has a 1.3-inch 320×320 display, the Huwaei Watch has a 1.4-inch 400×400 display (286 PPI), making it the highest resolution Android Wear device yet. The bezel is smaller than the Urbane, too, and combined with a smaller body, it allows the watch to fit better on more wrists.
