Huawei’s Rose Gold Watch Goes Up For Sale at $699

Huawei has released a new version of its first smartwatch, the Huawei Watch. The Chinese company has launched the most premium variant of the Watch which comes equipped with a 22K rose gold plated stainless steel case with “coin-edge top ring”.

The rose gold version of the Huawei Watch is available on the company’s official online US store. Even though right now only one variant of the Watch is available, Huawei promises another with “an alligator pressed brown suture fine-leather strap” soon. The Watch comes in limited quantity and is priced at $699 or about Rs. 50,000.

If you’re willing to scoop out another $100, the Watch will also be made available with a different configuration along with a 22K rose gold plated stainless steel link band, priced at $799 (close to Rs. 57,000). But this variant is yet to be up for sale.

Looks like Apple is not the only company to have left us a little more than surprised with its roof-high pricing of fancy smartwatches, the rose gold variant for a gadget isn’t so new either. Does a Huawei rose gold gadget appeal to you more than an Apple gadget with a similar physical design?

With This Move, There’s No Doubt Samsung is “Inspired” by Apple

We often tend to treat Apple vs Samsung a little like Congress vs BJP or India vs Pakistan (you decide which is which), because we see the companies themselves, bickering about who is copying whom and why one is better than the other. Well, this time, it’s 10 points to Apple.

Apple and Samsung now have devices in identical colours

Apple has emerged a winner in the recent blame game battle as Samsung is coming out with a ‘Pink Gold’ colour variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. We aren’t extremely surprised by this decision because the colour itself, we mean Apple’s ‘Rose Gold’ has been selling like hot cakes. So what’s wrong if Samsung takes a hint and comes up with its own (read borrowed) version of it? Nothing really.

In addition to the controversial Pink, Samsung is also coming up with ‘Silver Titanium.’ Both these colours will be available in South Korea by October 23rd and other countries will soon follow suit.

While some might think that it’s just a colour and not really something to be breaking our heads over, let us know your views in the comments below.

Let the war begin.

iPhone 6s Rose Gold is the Most Popular Option for Pre-Orders

With hours to go before the launch of the iPhone 6s, pre-orders are rising. It seems that the iPhone 6s Rose Gold model is the most popular iPhone right now with most pre-orders for that variant having already stopped on most e-commerce sites.

Initially, the Rose Gold variant was met with lukewarm reactions right after the Apple event. But the pre-orders tell a different story. Flipkart has already stopped pre-orders for the Rose Gold flavour. Other sites will soon follow since the Rose Gold variant is seeking a massive popularity around the world.
<br />

One reason behind the popularity might be that Apple fans have grown tired of the usual colours that come with every new iPhone and the Rose Gold is a pleasing sight. The Rose Gold colour is unique to iPhone 6s, so far. Other smartphone makers are aware of the craze behind this colour and are trying to come out with their own Rose Gold variants as well. One example is the upcoming HTC One A9 phone which will have a Rose Gold variant along with the traditional Space Grey and White.

This could signal other smartphone makers to experiment with different hues now. However Apple brought acceptance to the Gold colour a few years back and now it looks like Rose Gold will be the colour of choice in the next years.
