This is the best Smart Watch you can buy! Very impressed with Huawei's first watch!
I'm going to keep this simple. This is without a doubt one of the best smartwatches on the market. I've owned a Moto 360, Asus Zenwatch, LG Watch R, and LG Watch Urbane. This is the most elegant, best performing, and well built of all of them. I am very happy with this watch so far and everyone I've shown it too just says wow. It honestly looks so much better in person! Pros: -Very nice, high quality construction. The case and band are very well made. It makes my LG watch Urbane look cheap. Even the box is beautiful! -High quality sapphire crystal. My Urbane ended up with small micro scratches on the glass. I'm happy I will not have to worry about this on the Huawei Watch. -The Gyro is very sensitive. I never have a problem with it waking up with I turn my wrist. -AMOLED display is just gorgeous. The best of any android wear and much better than my Urbane. It is very vibrant and sharp! The difference in resolution is noticeable coming from the LG Urbane. The watch faces just pop and look beautiful on this watch. -Battery life is very similar to competing Android wear devices. Between 1 and 2 days of use. -Performance is very smooth and the watch feels very responsive. I'm not sure why, but it feels more responsive than my Urbane. Especially moving in and out of apps. -Huawei's fitness app is very nice. It pulls up fast and keeps track of calories burned and whether you were walking, running, or climbing. Cons: -It's fairly expensive. Honestly, for the quality of product, I'm not complaining. The base model gets you a stainless steel case, sapphire crystal and leather band. You get that for $349 which is the same price as an entry level Apple watch. For $349, you get the small women's size apple watch, aluminum case, and glass display. It's hundreds more for an equivalent quality Apple watch. The Huawei watch is definitely worth the money! -Battery life could be better. It would be nice to get 3 full days out of the watch! -It's a little thick. It's about the same thickness as the LG Urbane and Apple watch, but it appears thicker because the sides of the case do not have as much of a curve. They are more square. If you have small wrists, then the thickness may stand out, however, if you are used to men's watches, this watch looks great! -The vibration motor is a little weak. I can always notice it because I wear my watch fairly tight, however I think it should be a little stronger. -There is no micro adjustment in the stainless steel band. You can only adjust it by removing links. Not a big deal. -The charging puck can be a little finicky. I've had a couple times where I had to readjust the watch on the puck to get it to start charging. My experience with battery life: I'm not a heavy user. That being said, I charge my Huawei Watch every couple days. I take it off the charger at 6am, wear it til around 5PM, then either turn it off, or turn the screen off. Then I do the same the next day. By the second day, It is around 15% battery when I get home at 5PM. This is also with the display always on. If I turn tilt to wake off, I imagine I could go 3 days without charging. The watch wakes up ALOT. Every time you move your wrist the screen wakes. This is good and bad, but turning off tilt to wake and keeping on ambient mode makes a huge difference! Final words. This is the best smart watch I've ever owned. I am very pleased with it so far. The quality is top notch and it just looks beautiful. If you have reservations about Huawei, don't. They delivered a very high quality product and I'm happy to show it off to friends. If you can't decide between this and the Moto 360 V2, I would suggest you go with this. Although the Moto 360 is a little cheaper, you lose some key benefits. The Moto 360 does not have an AMOLED display. It uses traditional LCD. Do not buy a smart watch that is not an OLED display. Trust me! OLED is better on the batter, looks better, has better viewing angles and better contrast. All black backgrounds mean you can leave your watch in ambient mode and use minimal power. LCD displays just can't do that! If you are worried about screen burn in, don't. This watch has an anti-burn in algorithm that moves the watch face around pixel by pixel. This makes sure the same pixels are not always lit. The Huawei watch also has a sapphire display, which I believe will come in very useful. Last thing. The Huawei Watch has a built in speaker as some teardowns have discovered. Right now it is disabled, but it could be enabled later for useful functions!
