We already told you about this unique smartwatch a long time ago while, honestly, seeing its particularity, we questioned whether it could be sold in Spain at the time. However, it seems that Huawei has taken the plunge and launched its Watch Buds in the market, a smartwatch to which you can lift the face and take out headphones from the inside.

Huawei Watch Buds, Grace Is Inside
Huawei has a good and trustworthy catalogue of smartwatches, so initially, it didn’t seem like it needed to push the boundaries with something like this. However, invention rules—even more so in the technology sector.
And to show that it’s not far behind in this regard, the Asian company presented its Watch Buds some time ago.
This watch looks, at first glance, like any other smartwatch from the company. However, you can lift its face, revealing that the stainless steel case of the watch also serves as a storage case for a pair of small true wireless earbuds.
The concept is particularly interesting for people who already use wearable devices and want to reduce the number of gadgets they need to carry. For example, users who regularly use an Apple Watch may also look for practical accessories such as Apple Watch chargers and stands to keep their wearable ready throughout the day.
The final thickness of the wearable, which you are surely curious about, stands at 14.99 mm. This is not much different from the Watch 3, for example, with a thickness of 12.15 mm. When you compare it with some other thick models from the competition, it is easy to think of the Apple Watch Ultra, whose body measures around 14.4 millimetres.
It is, therefore, not a particularly slim piece of kit, but of course, it is not every day that you wear headphones secretly inside your wristwatch.
The watch, for its part, offers the usual features: a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen, activity tracking, heart-rate monitoring, 24-hour sleep monitoring, and automatic detection of blood oxygen saturation. It also offers 80 sports modes for better tracking of your workouts and promises a battery life of up to three days on a full charge and up to seven days in energy-saving mode.
A Unique Approach to Wearable Technology
The Watch Buds are an unusual example of how manufacturers are combining different types of wearable technology into a single device. Instead of carrying a smartwatch and a separate pair of wireless earbuds, users can keep both devices together.
Wearable technology is also expanding beyond traditional fitness and communication features. Some modern devices are being designed for digital payments, security, and even cryptocurrency management. For users interested in this area, a wearable cryptocurrency wallet shows how wearable devices can be used for purposes beyond simply checking notifications or tracking daily activity.
The Watch Buds take a different approach by focusing on convenience and portability. The built-in earbuds can be removed directly from the watch whenever they are needed, making the concept particularly appealing to people who frequently listen to music or take calls while travelling.
Now Available in USA
In case you’ve just fallen in love with it, that attraction doesn’t come cheap, and it’s not exactly an affordable smartwatch. Huawei Watch Buds had already confirmed their arrival in Spain with the price included, officially noting that the hardware would be tagged at 499 euros—a significant cost for a smartwatch.
If, despite this, you think it is the solution you’ve been looking for to avoid carrying headphones in your pocket, the Watch Buds offer a very unusual alternative. The earbuds remain inside the watch when they are not being used, while the smartwatch itself continues to provide the features expected from a modern wearable.
The combination makes the device stand out from conventional smartwatches and wireless earbuds, particularly for users who value portability and an all-in-one design.
Conclusion
We already told you about this unique smartwatch a long time ago while, honestly, seeing its particularity, we questioned whether it could be sold in Spain at the time. However, it seems that Huawei has taken the plunge and launched its Watch Buds in the market, a smartwatch to which you can lift the face and take out headphones from the inside.
Although the Watch Buds are thicker than many conventional smartwatches, the unusual combination of a smartwatch and built-in wireless earbuds makes them one of the more distinctive wearable devices. For users who want convenience without carrying multiple gadgets, Huawei’s approach offers an interesting alternative in the growing wearable technology market.
