I was looking for a new smart watch to replace my Apple Watch after switching from an iPhone to s7 edge. I was torn between this one and the s2 from Samsung. Really glad I purchased this one. It's a beautiful watch. Looks classy. I get compliments daily on it. It's customizable, which is a nice feature to have. I change my watch face daily. Battery life is good. I can go all day without it dying. My only complaint is the charger. Not a fan of the 4 pin connection for chargin. Sometimes it doesn't connect properly, so I have to adjust it. Not a complete deal breaker, though. I highly recommend it.

Best Android Wear on the Market

Huawei has made the best anroid wear in the market in my opinion.
Pros:
-Great battery life, easily over 24 hours and up to 48 with minimal use
-Always on display makes it feel like a traditional watch. You're always able to see the time without specific movements of the watch
-Stylish looks
Cons:
-18mm watch band appears a little small on the wrist for a male as opposed to the 22mm and larger bands on the market
-It doesn't make an AMAZING seal on the charger to connect
It feels like it would fall off pretty easily.
Both cons are very minor and don't impact my 5/5 rating

I've had the Huawei Smartwatch for a few months now and overall I've been pretty pleased with it. I enjoy being able to create my own watch faces and customize what I want to see on the display. This is probably my favorite feature of the smartwatch. It's nice for fitness and heart rate tracking as well as simple responses to texts or being able to answer a call. But to be honest, most times I end up grabbing my phone to respond to either. It's still nice to be able to see most notifications without having to grab your phone though. It's also just a very nice watch in general and looks/feels good. I'm still glad I decided to try it out and if your a gadget geek...it's probably a worthwhile investment!

I love my smartwatch. It is still the best looking, and best smartwatch out now, even though it's 2 years old. The new one doesn't do anything for me. Only issue is the charger can be aggravating at times. You just have to make sure it's lined up and charging. I love it.

All in all, I'm very happy with this watch. Compared to the first gen Android wear devices, battery life has come a long way. Using this watch mainly for notifications, step tracking and just as a plain old watch, I can easily get through an entire day, oftentimes two depending on how much I've actively turned on the screen and run apps. And that's with the ambient mode on and relatively bright. As long as you're not expecting something that can do everything your phone can, you'll be happy with the Huawei watch.

Great watch, bad heart rate monitor

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Overall it is a solid watch. I did however want a watch that had a solid heart rate monitor and that is where this one fell short for me. To use this function you have to wonder through the menu to access it and press it to your skin and hold still for it to get a solid reading. Other than that, it will not continue to monitor your BPM. Which for me was a deal breaker.
Aside from that it's very stylish and very nice. Batt life was great for normal use throughout the day while checking emails, messages, etc.
If a heart rate monitor is not imperative for you, then this is a very solid watch to get.

Dear customer,
Thank you for your amazing review, we are so delighted to hear that overall you are having a great experience with your Huawei Watch.
Let us explain you how your Huawei Watch measure your heart rate.
The heart rate sensor of your Huawei Watch adopts "Photoelectric Volume Pulse Wave Tracing" to collect heart rate data. This technique is based on a very simple reason: the hemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin, carotene, bilirubin, and blood platelet in your blood are particularly sensitive to green light absorption.
We have tested our Huawei Watch with a medical equipment and the difference per minute is no more than two paces, which is very precise for smart wearing equipment.
Please remember the following: >As heart rates are detected based on reflected light, you need to wear it to the correct position on your wrist. The accuracy falls down quickly when it is wore on the back of hands or arms. >Heart rates should be tested when your wrist is quiet. If you swing, turn over, or wave your wrist during test, the heart rate value will not be correct. >Heart rate readings should not be used for medical purposes.
We hope you keep enjoying your Huawei Watch. Thank you for your excellent feedback. NF

I had got this watch during the BF.
First impression -
The packing of the watch was grand compared to a cardboard box packing on the Apple watch.
Appearance -
The round dial of the watch is pretty good.The color appearance of the dial is also pretty good.
The Huawei Watch is stylish and well-made. With a diameter of 42mm and a thickness of 11.3mm.
Google Fit is pre-loaded on the device.The Watch pre-loaded with the Daily Tracking app.You can set all your own goals and Huawei also claims the watch will know whether you are walking, running or climbing.However it has limited features with Iphone.

I had been looking around for an android watch for a few months. I chose the Huawei because I liked the looks and because it should get the android wear 2 when it is released.
Overall, I really like this watch. The battery normally lasts me a full day, but some watch faces I've tried seem to reduce that time somewhat. The watch band can be changed out with other standard watch bands which is also a plus.
This watch works great for me as I normally leave my phone on my desk or counter, and it allows my to get my texts and be notified when my phone is ringing even if I don't hear it.

Thank you for the excellent review, Steved0. We're please that after your search you ended up going with the Huawei Watch. You mentioned the battery not lasting on occasion. Third-party watch faces are not approved by Google and can drain the battery very quickly when in ambient mode. If you continue to get lower battery life with your custom face, I would recommend to go with the options offered on Android Wear. (DM)

Having never heard of Hauwei before starting my smartwatch search i was greatly surprised at the quality and ease of use of the watch. I was primarily looking for a watch that would look good for work and give me notifications. This watch looks great with no flat tire at the bottom like many of the other watches. Easy to read text and phone call notifications. Can even take calls and reply to text with the watch.
Very happy with everything and several compliments on the watch. Many are surprised it is a smartwatch based on the looks.

Im upgrading my old Moto 360 1st to Huawei watch. I have to say this is by far the best smartwatch I have ever bought. The design of watch is definitely classy looking, & I really like the full round display , and with amoled screen, its looks beautiful and sharp. Probably my most favorite feature is the built in speaker, that's right, they include this feature, but it wasn't enabled until Wear version 1.4. Call quality is pretty good, I can hear them clearly and same goes for the other person. This is so much win. Definitely recommend this.

I've had several of the Samsung watches, the Moto 360 and the LG Urbane and the Huawei is hands down the best on the market. Samsung (which I love by the way ( dropped the ball with no speaker on the Gear 2 Classic unless you purchase a plan and Tizen apps are limited. The Huawei however had a hidden speaker and with the Android Wear update I can now take calls from my watch which is helpful when my phone is our of reach. There is one issue (the same issue the Urbane had) the watch freezes at times and battery last barely a day, hince the 4 stars

I got this watch for father's day and have had it for about 2 months now. I first got the Samsung Gear Classic, but returned to get the Huawei watch due to its features including speaker. I really like it so far. I don't find it as useful as I thought, but that has nothing to do with this particular watch as it has to do with smart watches in general. However, I do find it as a great alternative to just checking notifications instead of taking out my phone. I love the various ways you can customize. So far very happy.

I don't have much experience with Android wear watches, but know that (as an iOS user) I didn't like the Apple Watch. Wanted one with style and only Android wear could provide that. And of all the AW watches, this watch was the most stylish. To me, $350 is too steep, especially paired with iOS. Maybe it's better with an android phone, but I don't have one. I do love the craftsmanship, and shape, however I believe the watch itself is a little on the small side. I like my watches a little bigger. All in all, good watch!
