Quietly unveiled at MWC in early March, the Huawei Watch might just be the best Android Wear watch made to date. We expected it to be rather pricey, but the gadget might actually be more affordable than we thought, especially when compared with Apple’s Watch price tiers.

A Reddit user discovered three Huawei models already listed for sale on MobileFun.com, coming in silver, black and gold. The website does list prices for all these models even though it doesn’t list their official release dates.

According to MobileFun, the silver and black versions of the Huawei Watch cost $386.99, while the gold model is slightly more expensive at $451.49. For that price you’re not getting real Apple Watch-like gold, but “luxurious gold metal styling,” as the site explains.

The Huawei Watch features a round design similar to what’s available from Motorola and LG, and it packs some powerful internals, including a 1.4-inch AMOLED display with 400 x 400 resolution, a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of storage and a 300 mAh battery.

MobileFun’s Huawei Watch listings are available at the source links.
