An excellent upgrade from my Moto360 v1

One of the worst things about the 360 v1 was the battery life. When it *did* work the way it was supposed to the battery wouldn't last an 8 hour work day. Even with the screen on theater mode, it barely made it home. I don't have any problem with the Huawei watch, in fact I don't think the watch has been below 50% since I got it. Screen it beautiful and touch is reliable. I think the only thing that I could possibly complain about is the magnetic charger, which is a bit fussy and if you don't get it connected just right, you could think you're charging and wake up to a half dead watch. But it's something you get used to pretty quickly and I've only had two such incidents. Much more comfortable to wear too. I bought the leather band and got a stainless steel band online for $10 saving $40 in the process.

I'm completely happy with this purchase. In my opinion, this is the best Android Wear watch available currently. It looks classy enough to wear with a suit, yet casual enough to wear during a normal everyday relaxed setting. The display looks awesome, and battery life is great (I usually get just about 2 days out of a full charge with my normal watchface).
I'm definitely a major fan of Huawei's entry into the Android Wear market with this watch.

I've had the Huawei Watch for just a short time but I'm very happy with it so far. It pairs very easily with my Galaxy S7 Edge, installing new apps is incredibly simple and highly recommended. It's even worth paying for some of them, though some features that require being purchased feel like they should have been included, but they weren't so oh well.
Voice commands and dictation to text and email work great, unless you're in a noisy area, which is understandable. There's an app with a keyboard but at that point it's easier to just use a phone.
Battery life has been as reported, over a day but haven't hit 30 hours yet. Task killer apps seem to help battery life, but again, wish there was a way to close them without an app.
It's almost too thick for my wrist but I'm very skinny so I expected it to feel a little large, it hasn't been a problem yet. The build feels very solid and the leather band will be fine once it's broken in a bit.
Overall I'm really impressed by everything this watch can do and I'm happy that I decided to go with Huawei.
Plus the box it came in is impressive.
Negatives are very minor. The Wear UI is a tiny bit fidgety and the wrist gestures are guesswork most of the time for me. A little jealous of the rotating dial on the Gear S2 but maybe it will be incorporated into a later version. Hoping the overall bulk is eventually slimmed down as well.

After reviewing just about every smartwatch out there i decided on the Huawei. It actually looks like a premium watch and not something out of Star Trek. The Android Wear os is pretty slick and there are plenty of apps to go around. I had considered the Galaxy Gear S2 but there aren't enough apps for it to justify buying one because of the Tizen operating system.. I bought mine on sale at $100 off regular price, which was a huge bonus!

Bought this for my brother. I did plenty of research before purchasing this product. Compared it to the Samsung, LG, Asus and Moto360 (both Generations). I was only looking for a smartwatch compatible with Android devices so I had filtered out Apple watch.
Best display in the marketplace then. Has a GPS which comes in handy. Watch faces are beautiful and are far better than what samsung has in my opinion.
Battery can be improved and more light sensors can be put in but Huawei did a fantastic job with their first android wear. Steller!!!

This is my 3rd smartwatch. The first two were Samsung branded. I never thought I could let my Gear S go... But this watch made it happen! This watch's build quality, is simply put; AMAZING. I feel like I am wearing a fine precision time instrument (and I am) and not a "geeky" smartwatch. It runs Android Wear which is awesome.
There are tons of apps for it. I can do almost everything I want. From sending and receiving emails, hangouts, watching youtube videos, listening to Google Music, texting, and of course surfing the web! The only downfall to this (and ALL Android Wear Watches) is there is no native keyboard. Everything must be spoken. However the apps I use include keyboards so I can discretely text someone at work ;c)
And just like all Android Wear watches it has no sound :( Yep, another first world problem. For me that is an issue since my Gear S had the ability to make and receive calls via speaker phone on the watch. I did some reading and realized that this watch may recieve Android 6 which would allow it to uses the hidden built in speaker (Google it).
This watch is awesome, whether or not you get the leather band like I did or go with the metallic bands you will not be disappointed! I bought the leather band because of the price point then bought a metallic band at the local jeweler. You would have thought that the band I purchased was an option but its not...
Overall... Best Android Smartwatch Ever!
The attached pic is with the metal band I bought in replace of the leather band. Dont get me wrong, the leather band is very high quality!

I bought this Huawai watch 3 weeks ago so I could have a full round face smart watch. I have the Apple Watch as well but wanted a second watch to have choices. This watch is beautiful, works great with iOS and the 50+ watch faces are beautiful, especially compared to my Apple Watch. The build quality, battery life and screen are great. I've had several compliments already.

I did my research, and narrowed my search for a smart watch down to the Moto and the Huawei, I didn't like the "flat tire" effect in the Moto, and the Huawei had a sapphire crystal so for roughly the same price, I figured the build quality was much better than the Moto. It is a stunning watch, with excellent graphics and everything one could want in a smartwatch: step counter, heart rate, all notifications, ... I got the one with the leather band (which is very nice) but if you want a stainless steel band, I would buy the leather one, and then get an after-market steel band online.
I wear this baby every day, and the battery life suits me fine. For example, today it has lasted 15 hours. So you do need to charge it every night, unless you watch your power consumption.
You can't go wrong with the Huawei, as I'm sure your own research will show. Enljoy!

Bought this for my husband's Christmas present. He's a big techie and was interested in a Smart Watch. This watch looks great - high quality and beautiful! Long lasting battery and charges fast. He has loved all the available apps and has used it nonstop since he got it. A little expensive (but reasonable) but worth it.

This was my second android smartwatch. Much better ambient display than the Moto360v2. Battery life was great, but the charging connection could use some work. You think you connected it correctly only to find out that it didn't charge the next morning. If your careful with the charger it makes a great smartwatch.

If it wasn't for the number of Reward Zone Points and gift cards I had, I probably wouldn't have made the purchase. Full retail price for the watch is a bit much given that it will probably need to be replaced in a couple years. Besides the cost, the watch has been a nice addition to my phone. I would say that I use probably 75% of the functionality and is nice for quick little tasks. Making a quick reminder or taking a note and not having to grab my phone for it is very nice. Other than being a little too thick for my liking, the design of the watch is very nice. I bought the watch with the leather strap and went to a local jewerler to get a stainless steel band put on. The Heawei bands are noce, but not for the cost. I was able to get a vver nice band for a 1/4th of the price. But most importantly is the ability for me to change the watch face. I have different faces for different activities. One for casual daily wear, one for fitness and one for dress. Only having the watch for a couple month, I have really grown to like it.

This is what a smartwatch should look like! I really love the look of the stainless steel watch. The leather band feels great and does not irritate my skin. I have gotten many compliments on this watch. I have it paired with an Android phone and it works perfectly. I am averaging 1.5 days of use with the battery that it has. I was previously against watches that had the pins to charge because they did not connect properly. With this watch I do not have that issue. I do wish that Huawei would have a a dock even with the pins that could act as a nightstand charger so I can see the time when I am sleeping.

I have gotten a ton of compliments. I purchased the cheapest style with the black leather band and then found a nice and cheap sterling silver band for $14 and installed it for a more sophisticated look at a much cheaper price than buying the one that comes with a silver band.

Best Android Wear device

I do have some issues with Android Wear itself. I am hoping that when 2.0 is finally released that it will get much better.
That aside, this is by far the best Android Wear watch that I have used. I had the 2nd generation Moto 360 for a few weeks but I returned it. The "flat tire" display was more obvious than they would lead you to believe. Not having a speaker was really the reason for the return. This watch has a great AMOLED screen (without the flat tire) and also a speaker.
I get constant compliments on what a great looking watch I am wearing, even from people with Apple Watches.

Overall the Huawei watch is very nice, looks great and the battery life is very good. The faces that come with the watch are also nice but if you like custom watch faces, with a small investment of less than $4.00 you can buy an app (watchmaker) that will let you build your own faces or choose from thousands of free faces online.
Battery life is very good but can be greatly improved by disabling “Tilt to wake screen” on your phone (Android Wear) and “Wrist gestures” OFF on you watch.
The display is beautiful, crisp and sharp indoors but can be hard to see outdoors.
Overall very happy with my purchase.

I have owned the watch for just over a month. Other than google's latest update where I am asked to re-pair the device with my phone every couple days, I love it.
It does more than a fitbit, looks great and was a great price especially when comparing it to an apple watch (their stainless steel 42mm starts at $500)
Beyond that, it's the best android wear watch available right now. Full circle display, amoled display, built in speaker for taking calls etc.

I love this watch because it's very stylish and makes a formidable fashion statement. I think this is the paradigm shift of smart watches in which it incorporating technology with fashion. I would like to see precious stones incorporated to give as an anniversary gift or symbolic symbols for awards. For instance, I am on the military base and I would like to see retirees get a gift like this that will last. It would be nice to have bigger diameter surface to watch a movie or just a little more real estate to manipulate apps. Also, the 1.4-inch AMOLED display, 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and 512MB of RAM, 4GB is nice; but a little more horse power and memory would leave competitors behind completely. I am very pleased that Huawei has set the bar high for smart watches and look forward to future releases.
