Huawei has announced two new versions of the Huawei Watch that target users looking for something more flashy than the standard steel model. The new versions of the Huawei watch are called Elegant and Jewel. They share the same specifications as the Huawei Watch, including the 316L steel case, and sapphire cover glass. The changes solely have to do with the appearance. The Huawei Watch Elegant has a gold top ring with a rose gold plated body, while the Huawei Watch Jewel is adorned with 68 Swarovski Zirconia around the watch face. Both watches will come with exclusive watch faces to match their designs.
The Huawei Watch Elegant will be available for $499, while the Huawei Watch Jewel will be $599. Both will be available in the first quarter of the year.

I may be wrong here, but aren't these models made specifically for women? That's what the guy said in the livestream. Hence all the diamonds(girls love it), and the smaller, sleeker size of the watch.FunBunny2 - Tuesday, January 5, 2016 - link
may be, but perfect for those with girly wrists. :)testbug00 - Tuesday, January 5, 2016 - link
While I could do without the diamonds, if I'm wearing a watch I want it to be something something flashy or colorful in some manner. That or be all black.JeffFlanagan - Tuesday, January 5, 2016 - link
Yes, they're for women.Engadget has an article that actually tells you what the watch is, which is weird, since Anandtech usually has better tech coverage.

Apparently it's 2016 and people (mostly in the US) would complain if you say something is for men/women, it'll be considered discriminative or something like thatjohnnycanadian - Tuesday, January 5, 2016 - link
Yech. That is a singularly ugly timepiece. It looks like one of the fake "bling" watches sold in every Chinatown market in every major city.
