Huawei is bringing back one of its more unusual ideas. The company has confirmed that its next wearable, the Huawei Watch Buds 2, will be officially unveiled on April 20 at its Pura series launch event.

As the name implies, this is the second iteration of the product. The original Watch Buds launched in late 2022, combining a smartwatch with a pair of tiny wireless earbuds hidden inside the watch case. Now three years later, Huawei is giving it another shot.

The core idea hasn’t changed. The Watch Buds 2 still follows a “2-in-1” design, where the watch opens up to reveal a pair of earbuds tucked inside. A small push-button will likely release the top frame to access the buds. 

Huawei Watch Buds 2 still have those legless earbuds

We can see the watch in a brown leather strap with visible stitching and a metallic frame all around. The buds retain the octagonal, cylindrical, or bullet-shaped design from the predecessor. These compact, legless earbuds are designed to be interchangeable, meaning there is no specific left or right side. 

The previous model also used a highly integrated internal design to make everything fit. The earbuds were extremely small and support AI noise cancellation for calls. The watch itself also doubled as a fitness tracker, offering more than 80 sports modes and up to 30 hours of battery life. We expect the successor to build on these features.

Pricing and full specifications for the Watch Buds 2 are still unknown. The original launched at 2,988 yuan, so it’ll be interesting to see whether Huawei keeps it in the same range or pushes it further into premium territory.

We will know the full details on April 20. Stay Tuned.
