I have had a smartwatch ever since Sony Ericssion LiveView, which was horrid! Then the natural progression of; Pebble, Pebble Steel, LG Watch, Moto 360, LG G Watch R and now the Huawei Watch. And I have to say this Huawei watch is the best out there. The resolution is fantastic, the quality of the watch is on par with watches you buy. It is nothing like the past smartwatches. This screams quality the minute you open the box. Even the box itself is worth noting! I have a few actual watch boxes and this take the cake!! With all the merits and what the "Huatch" does really really right, it does have some flaws in my case. For one, the band. It's 18mm. Yes the included band is 18 that tapers to 22mm. This should have been 22mm from the get go. But I digress. And the other thing I don't like about it is that the watch can only mostly hear my "ok google" prompt. Yes it works, but you have to bring the watch to your face like calling KIT from Knight Rider lol. The battery is stellar, even though it's one of the smallest capacity on the market. I can squeak out 23 hours, with the only thing turned off is the tilt to wake feature. Wifi and everything else like brightness to 4 is on. I use this on Android and have not experienced any disconnects other then getting out of range of the phone and then the wifi picks it up. This is one of best smartwatches out there. I recommend spending the extra 50 bux to get the band you want NOW. There are third party bands that can accommodate the 18-22mm taper, but the quality is fantastic on the mesh.

I got this watch for a few reasons -the look! It's beautiful -huawei is a good brand -the sale price was too good to pass up. But I'll say this... this huawei is amazing! It's fast, smooth and the screen is beautiful. Oh and the battery - I get home usually around 7-9pm and I'm usually on 40-50%.
This review is from Huawei - Smartwatch 42mm Stainless Steel - Black Stainless Steel

A superior smartwatch in every way...BUT....it needs far more customer support than it has. I operate mine with my iPhone 5S, yet there are very few agents with sufficient info to help. I've Not found one knowledgeable enough. My Huawei Watch has just updated to Marshmallow and I need considerable guidance; help.

Customers praise the Smartwatch 42mm Stainless Steel Links for its long battery life, improved design, and beautiful screen. They appreciate the easy-to-read notifications and the speaker that works well for phone calls. However, some customers express concerns about compatibility issues with Apple devices and feel that the price is high for the perceived value.
