Only thing I dislike about this watch is the way that you change it. It connects magnetically to the charger, but it can be finicky to align the connector. Otherwise it's a superior-designed watch and it doesn't have a flat tire. I bought the leather band version and replaced the bands worth a metal one.

Had a square smartwatch, but decided I liked a round one better. The sapphire screen is very scratch resistant, just like on nice mechanical watches. the display is crisp and clear. Love the ability to put multiple watch faces on it. Most of mine are set to run backwards, because I like it that way.

Got the Huawei Watch as a replacement for my aging LG G Watch, and also because I wanted to switch to round watch instead of a square one.
I love the screen and the speaker, and battery life is pretty good so no complaints at all, especially considering the price I paid for it on black Friday.

I have been searching SmartWatches for a long time and I have used the pebble time since it came out. This watch far surpasses my expectations in a smartwatch. I love the design and Android Wear. Even counting steps is fluid. I definitely recommend this watch if you are looking to find an Android Wear device. Being able to send texts, take phone calls, and listen to music all from the watch makes this watch a must-have. The only downfall is the battery life, but if you have researched smart watches at all you know that the battery life is always an issue with any Android device even more so for wearable tech. I would say with an average persons use you can get a full day possibly a day and a half of battery life . Aside from that this is a great companion and being able to customize watch faces with a great display makes it worth every penny. Huawei is a brand that most people are unaware of in America but in my opinion is a direct contender of Samsung and I honestly prefer their product.

Thank you for the detailed review, Jasontbenson. When it came to the Huawei Watch, we wanted to make sure that we were creating a Luxury watch and not just a nice smart watch. It's great to hear that you appreciate the work that went into the watch. It is packed with some impressive features, and with the new update to Android Wear coming soon, it is only going to get better. (DM)

Absolutely love this watch. I toyed around with a pebble for a few months. This phone meets and exceeds my expectation. While the battery life can't compete with the pebble. I can easily get a day and half or two days out of this watch. Just got the update to the phone that enables the speaker. Pleasantly surprised at how well making and receiving calls on my wrist is. If you're on the fence about this watch, get it!

I think the look and interface is phenomenal for this watch. My problem is there is no speaker on the watch and my android pay doesn't work from the watch. Everything else is really good. The changing can be a bit finicky at times, but it charges quickly and holds charge all day! Honestly just needs the speaker and more interfaced apps.

Been wearing this for about 3 weeks and overall I like the watch. Its a good product and works well. I get essentially 2 days battery life (I run the brightness all the way on low, you really don't need it turned up unless you are outside a lot). Charging is very quick. I bought multiple aftermarket bands and they are super easy to swap out.
My only real gripe is that the haptic feedback is quite strong and quite loud and I can not find a way to turn it down. I work in an office and attend a lot of meetings I can't have my watch vibrating my arm off all the time so I essentially turn all the notifications off, which essentially defeats the purpose of owning a smartwatch.
Other than that I think its a quality watch, albeit a bit pricey in my opinion. Ive been wearing it every day but I see myself scaling back as I also have a lot of other nice (non smart) watches that I dont get to wear anymore

I use it with my iPhone and although I do not get all the functionality - the communication is only one way, from iPhone to watch and not the other way around - I still get all the notifications.
I like its looks of a regular watch.

Thanks for the 5 stars! It's true that some functionality isn't available on the iPhone, there's a group custom faces available only on the iPhone allowing for some unique customizable options. We have no doubt you will continue to enjoy your Huawei Watch. [sv]

Thank you for the excellent feedback, Andee. We crafted it as a premium watch first, the traditional full circle design features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal - the first on an Android Wear™ device. The Huawei Watch is hand polished and infuses style with functionality, we're pretty sure that those constant eyes and comments are going to continue to come. Thanks again for the review, we are happy to hear that you and everyone around you is enjoying the watch. (DM)

Love the look of the watch. And the watch faces available are some of the most beautiful I've seen. Battery is solid, but I may have just been lucky. Easily lasts 2 days with moderate use.
Step measurements are approximate for long distances, but the GPS is incredible. If you're on a treadmill or elliptical, it will be close but not identical to the machine's readings. But if you're running outside, the accuracy is impressive.
This watch is all about added convenience for me. I like to keep my phone in my pocket, and I hate pulling it out when driving or exercising. But the Huawei watch allows me to take a quick glance at texts or calls, or change my music with ease. Reminders, directions, even google translations using the microphone, are so easy and convenient with this device.
Highly recommended.

Exactly what it should be

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I had a Moto 360 and really enjoyed it--the round face, then Android Wear UI. But my watch(es) had the classic problem of the cracking back and later the whole display went tango uniform. SO I was looking for a replacement.
This was does what I needed. It is a solid Android Wear device. It is responsive. The watch-faces (especially Moonphase) that come pre-installed are so good in fact that I haven't gone back to the others I had purchased/installed on the other watch. It does the basic Google Fit tracking of steps, and heartrate.
There are features that would have been "nice to have" but I knew this watch didn't have them going in (like built in GPS). I won't ding a device in a review for not doing what I know it wouldn't do.
For the price, this is a great value.

We are excited to learn that you consider the Huawei Watch a great value.

We thank you for your five star review and for your feedback! (SP)

This is my first foray into smart watches and after reading many reviews of different Android compatible watches, we decided to go with Huawei. Great decision. The watch is fairly easy to use (for a first timer) and has customizable faces, which I like. Everyone compliments the watch as it looks very nice and not 'sporty' or 'square' in appearance as many others on the market. The leather band is very comfortable both during the day and during workouts. The voice to text does a remarkable job in recognition - better than my phone! Love it so far! The heart rate monitor is not accurate, which almost all other reviews indicate the wrist monitor is not efficient. However, the heart rate monitor was not the primary purpose for my purchase, so nothing is lost for me on this feature.

Thank you for the feedback, Alicia. We're pleased to hear that you are enjoying your Huawei Watch. You mentioned the heart rate monitor not being accurate. here are couple tips that may help you with that. Ensure that you have removed the transparent protective film on the back of the watch. Ensure that the back of the watch is clean and dry and that there are no objects between the back of the watch and your wrist. Check that you are wearing the watch properly. The watch should sit comfortably on your wrist. Do not wear the watch too tight or too loose. Keep your wrist still and avoid shaking it when measuring your heart rate. This should help you out in the future and again thank you for the review. (DM)

This watch looks incredible and much better than my original moto 360. The screen also uses much less battery so it lasts two and a half days for me before I even need to recharge it when it gets below 20% (with me making custom configurations in the menu to save battery life of course). It is still getting security fixes and updates a year after its release while Motorola have left their products to collect dust and become paper weights. Also you can use any 18mm band with it that you can get you hands on so its so much easier to use quick release bands. Can't recommend this watch enough.

The Huawei Watch has a 1.4-inch circular AMOLED display with a stainless steel case. The watch face is protected by sapphire crystal (synthetically produced crystal). The bottom of the watch case is made from 316L stainless steel (with gold/rose gold coating for some models) and Corning glass. It absolutely meets the criteria of incredible! The 300 mAh battery is definitely sufficient for it's economical operation pertaining to battery power. We love keeping customers satisfied with updates and security fixes and we thank you for recommending this smartwatch! (SP)
