The build and quality of this watch is worth the money! I have an Apple Watch, Samsung Gear S2 and Sony Smart Watch 3. This watch is by far my favorite and daily wear.
The fact that this watch works with both iOS and Android makes it much more versatile compared to the other smart watches I own. I can sync notifications from my iPhone or Galaxy 6 Edge+.
I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone who is looking for the best of both iOS and Android.

I love this watch! I know Android Wear doesn't have a huge market share, which is a shame, but I'm a fan. This is my first Android Wear device, so I don't have others to compare it to.
I like the full screen compared to the "flat tire" of the Moto 360. The watch's design is beautiful and it's packaged beautifully, as well.
I have the stainless steel band, which is holding up nicely and I haven't had any issues with. It can be re-sized like a normal stainless band with links.
I like to use the always-on feature, so the battery doesn't last as long as it would otherwise, but I do wish the battery were a bit better. With always-on active, I get just over a day with normal use. When I have always-on turned off, I get multiple days.
The vibrations could also be stronger, but that's not too much of an issue for me.
I'd definitely buy again.

Thanks for your positive review on the Huawei Watch. We are happy to hear that you prefer our smartwatch to other brands on the market. We see that you have found ways to lengthen your 300 mAh battery's life. We also see that you would prefer the vibration to be stronger and for that we suggest that you tighten the wrist strap. We loved hearing that you would purchase this smartwatch again and we thank you for your business. (SP)

Bought this watch because I have an iPhone for work and a Samsung note for personal use. This watch pairs with both! Watch is very intuitive and looks just like a nice stylish watch. Has good battery life unless you answer calls on it via speakerphone. Not a single negative feature yet

Replaced a working Gear S that would not work with my new non-Samsung phone so there was no way I was buying another Samsung SW. I miss anything that happens on my phone when it is in my pocket so I really missed the SW wrist notifications. So I did a lot of research and bought this HSW. I like the styling (black), build quality and the quality of the screen but there are a few areas that need improvement:
OS - Android Wear does not compare to Samsung Gear. Hopefully 2.0 will rectify this.
Band - difficult to adjust to size and a PITA to latch/unlatch.
Notifications - Android Wear notification system is simplistic and watch vibrations are weak. Feel the Wear app helped with this.
Proprietary charger - a PITA to attach because it requires too much fiddling to get it connected.

I did hours of research on smart watches and finally narrowed it down to a couple. When I went in to Best Buy, I settled on this one because it was on sale and it had good reviews. So far, I have had it almost 2 months and really like it. The screen is big and bright and I don't have any problems connecting it to my s7. I did have the battery drain 1 day but a reboot and things were back to normal. I have only rebooted it that 1 time.
The one improvement I would make would be the charging system. It can be difficult to get the watch to connect to the charging dongle. For the cost, I would have thought they would have went to something a little better than a pogo pin cable that connects to 4 tiny pads on the back of the watch. This is why I rated it 4 stars.

I've been looking for a long time for a watch which would allow me different faces and to switch between analog and digital ones. I really didn't want most of the other features offered in a typical smart watch. Just multiple faces. However, it seems that the only way to get that one feature is to go the smart watch route,and so, here I am.
I looked at many different watches before selecting this brand / model. I rejected the Moro 360 because of that dead sliver of screen at the bottom of the face. It was incomprehensible that someone thought that would be either a feature or at least OK with everyone, so that one went out in the first round. Likewise out in the first round were the Apple Watch (square, too pricey and too limited in device connectivity), the Pebble (dislike the general design and the size) and most of the LG line.
Surviving to the second round were the LG Urbane and the Samsung Gear S2 Classic. Note the absence of the Huawei on the list of finalists. Between the time of my initial search and when I had resigned myself to a smart watch with features I didn't really want many other brands and models of smart watch had been released.
As I reviewed my list of finalists one last time before committing to one of them I bevpca,e aware of this relatively new entry in the field. This watch very neatly eliminated each objection I had to the others, namely shape, size, price, and both iOS and Android compatibility. By the time I finished wondering who the heck Huawei was, I had been sold on every aspect of this watch.
Overall my experience with the watch has been very positive. I actually do use some of the "smart" features like calendar notices, timers, and step counting. My main feature is still the flexibility of watch faces and that's where I think there's a very good basic set of selections available to choose from.
That will bring me to my main negative for the watch. That list of faces does not include Facer when using a paired iOS device. Facer allows the creation of additional watch faces or to install faces created by others. As an iOS user this option is not available to me. I know you all want me to stop whining and go get a real Android phone. Quite simply put, I don't even want to have to use this with a phone. I understand that there are things that I can't do without a phone. But choosing different watch faces shouldn't be one of them. I should still have an option to download faces directly onto the watch. Most especially I want Star Trek faces. But alas, I cannot get them without major strangeness done to my iPad.
In general this is a very nice watch. I just wish I could use the Star Trek watch faces available for it.

This was a great Android watch. I was ahead if it's time, with a built-in speaker which was turned on about a year after the watch was already out, making it a real competitor amongst the newer Android watches.

Ive had this product for a little over a month now and I love it! I've owned a Moto 360 1st gen prior to this for a year. I will say, the difference between the two is significant, with the Huawei being on top! It has a much longer battery life than the 360 and the screen is much crisper and clearer.
I highly recommend this smartwatch.

When I saw the impressive gold color watch online I wanted it. It looked great in the photos. I knew it was more than double the price of the stainless steel version but I liked it. It arrived yesterday. It does not look like an $800 watch. It does not look like the photo. The color is far off. The redish gold color looks cheap and it has a flat finish. I am returning today for the stainless steel version.

This is definitely a great looking watch, the screen's resolution is stunning. Great features and easy to use. Only downside is you can only reply to texts through talk or the very limited pre existing options. The speaker and mic work great for phone calls.
As a female I have a small wrist but the watch was not overwhelmingly big, great classy look and style.

Full price is rather high compared to older models, so shop accordingly.
Metal mesh band is very comfortable.
OLED display is great and ambient mode is useful.
Battery is good and most days I have around 50-30 percent left depending on use.
There are cheaper options but not any look as good imo.
Also looked at the moto360 but it is significantly larger and is not OLED.

The battery life and responsiveness blow my Moto 36 out of the water. The style is also much nicer visually. However, and this is very important, the charger for this thing is, unlike my Moto 360, actually portable without always being the one thing that bulked up my bag. I was so sick of that bulky Moto 360 charger that I stopped taking my watch anywhere overnight.
