Huawei patents a smartwatch that can store wireless earbuds
It's not Huawei's first wild idea for a new smartwatch

The basic idea behind the design is that it would make it easier to take calls and listen to music on the go. After all, holding your smartwatch to your ear is a little awkward -- earbuds are the only practical way to hear someone on a call or listen to music without blasting it loud on the watch’s small speaker.
It’s worth pointing out that even though the patent has been granted, that doesn’t necessarily mean this will be a real product, especially given that Android Wear smartwatches have failed to catch on like the Apple Watch has.
