Huawei trashes its own product

Huawei Deputy Chairman and rotating CEO Eric Xu Zhijun surprised the world by trashing smartwatches even though his outfit makes them.

“I am always confused as to what smartwatches are for when we have smartphones,” and he told Huawei’s 2017 Global Analyst Summit event in China said he would never wear one.

Huawei recently released the Watch 2, an Android Wear 2.0-based update to its smartwatch line.

It was not like it was a passing comment. He even dragged down the company's wearable development team.

"When the smartwatch team in Huawei presents their ideas to me with great excitement, I keep reminding them to consider whether there are tangible needs [for these products] in the market," he continued.
