I bought this 2 weeks before and i have been using this 24/7 with me all these days to just track my fitness activities and sleep quality. Every functionality of the watch works super good to its expected behavior. Cool on my hands and i love the strap type that has a rubber back and leather front which feels as if i dont wear it. Especially when i sleep. The mobile pairing functionality sometimes fails with my Iphone sometimes. I had to reinstall my Huawei Wear health app just once and after which i did not face any connection issues. Overall for the price i would value this product and for the functionalities it provides is meeting my expectations.

Great smart watch has all the features you'd expect and is very durable thanks to the metal desgin. Does have a slightly smaller screen but not by much compared to other watches. Works very well with my Huawei mate 10 pro, only down side is under heavy use the battery does drain in 1 day. But under normal it will last 2 days barley. It also does not like it when it has a poor connection but I would recommend for anyone and I will buy Huawei products again

I love this watch! Dependable, durable, battery lasts all day. Can't believe you can't buy these here anymore. I would've have bought my husband one. Only issue I have occasionally is sometimes the watch will not take call, sends and answers on phone.

Love this watch. The stainless body with Ceramic crystal looks amazing and and after couple months looks amazing. I am very hard on watches and on this one, no visible scratches. Can take any 22MM band and case size is 45mm
If you want the best android smart watch out go for it. I would have gone for NEW LG Watch sport for Sim Card slot but non swappable bands was a deal breaker for me. The US version of this watch DOES NOT have the sim card slot but you can still talk via bluetooth or wifi calling.
Go for it you wont be disapointed
Pros
Ambient light censor
Quick Swap Bands
Bluetooth
Built in Speaker
NFC Android Pay
WIFI
Cons
Its Android Wear battery life is improving

I was looking for a smartwatch that looked like a "classic", elegant watch: the Huawei Watch 2 Classic was a great start... and buying a metal band made it just perfect. I had a Garmin smartwatch before, but I think that Wear OS is so much better! Only flaw: very, very short battery life (aka 1.5 days if you are lucky). Just remember to charge the watch every day (it takes roughly 1 hour) and you can't go wrong!

Overall, has a beautiful design and Android Wear is extremely configurable. I wish the bezel (number dial) was half the size and the screen was bigger. Wouldn't hurt if the bezel acted as a dial much akin to the Samsung Gear 3.
Otherwise, love the NFC and Android Pay is really easy.
I wear it all day, but primarily bought it for running. I like having music on my watch and my Bluetooth headset paired to it. Though, I'm finding that the GPS is not that accurate. Maybe there is a setting I haven't found that can adjust the GPS accuracy.
Google assistant is super easy to use either by saying, "OK Google" or long pressing the top right button.
Something cool I did yesterday was use the American Airlines app on the watch to board my flight.
I can see how this watch can be incorporated into my daily routine and actually be useful and not just gimmicky.

The Huawei Watch 2 is manufactured with ceramic bezel, which is crafted using 23 separate processes. This material, usually used on many luxurious watched, is 6 times harder than stainless steel, highly resistant to abrasion and lightweight!

First off, android wear and smart watches aren't for everyone. I don't know how to tell you if you are the kind of person who will like it or not. I am the kind of person who doesn't ever want to give it up since starting, know that when reading this review.
Build Quality
- Top notch. Feels very nicely made with no flex or gaps anywhere on the watch. Buttons are also quite nice.
- The band is also very comfortable. Feels nice on the wrist on the inside. Feels nice to the touch on the outside. Looks classy to boot. Band is also easy to take on and off.
- Still not a scratch anywhere on this thing after four months of daily use. The raised bezel has hit many a things, but not a mark to show for it-- I think its ceramic despite its metallic appearance. The screen glass is completely scratch free as well.
Screen
- The AMOLED screen is beautifully colorful and sharp. How did I suffer with the lower res LCD of my moto 360 for 3 years?!?! Only possible complaint about the screen is that the minimum brightness for the standby screen is a bit brighter than I'd like. But that is just a nitpick not a real problem.
- Size is a bit disappointing coming from the bigger screened 360. But ultimately with how sharp this screen is, it is just as usable with my young eyes. I could see older customers preferring a 1.4 inch screen over this ones small 1.2 incher.
Software
- This is probably the weak point. Seems that some google-inflicted bugs let the experience down a bit.
- Turning off always listening "OK GOOGLE" activation speeds up the watch a LOT. To me this is not a big deal because I have google homes and a phone listening if I need the assistant in a completely hands free way. I can still activate assistant via a long press on the top button and a software button I've added to my custom watch-face.
- Battery saver works very well if you do want it to confidently make it through 2 days. I don't use it because it makes it just a bit slower than I want.
- The super battery saver mode that turns off android wear and makes it only a pedometer and watch seems like it'd be nice to have. But I never use it--I want a smart watch. It also takes a bit of time to start that mode and come back out of it agian.
Battery Life
- Its awesome. I can get 2 days out of it if I'm lucky in my heavy use. A full day typically ends with 40-50%. So I tend to charge up anyway. But the battery saver mode could extend it enough to safely make it a 2nd day if I were to forget.
- Charger is nice. Its quick, if not as quick as my wirelessly charging moto 360. The magnet grabs the watch very well. I use it every night. I nice dock would be better, but I don't mind it as much as I thought I would coming from the 360's dock.
Overall
- I'm happier with my choice than I thought I would be. I needed a new watch to replace my old one, and this one does it better than expected.

I have been using smart watches since the Motorala Moto 360 and this is at the top of the list. I have most recently been using a samsung Gear S3 and that was a great watch as well. What I really missed was the google assistant on Android wear. Great battery as well.

The only option

This is my second Huawei Watch 2 classic. The first one had a physical defect after first month and I had to struggle with the Huawei to get my refunds back. I have decided to give them a second chance. So I bought the Huawei Watch 2 classic again. This watch is a hit or miss. If you are lucky you get a good one. The operating system is a little bit sluggish. The display is a little bit small compared to the hole body of the watch. 1.2 inches is not acceptable for a watch this big. The LCD could be a little bit brighter but it is bright enough. It has two buttons the upper button is for accessing the apps and that is a single point of failure. If the button becomes defected the watch will lose the whole functionality. Display is not sensitive enough in my opinion or maybe it seems not sensitive enough because the operating system is a little bit sluggish. Remember to restart the watch after doing all the updates and extra app installations. The battery life is not Bad and with moderate use And with the help of the power saving functions, I was able to get 2 days out of it. Hands down it is one of the best looking Android Wear watches out there. If you want a watch that is Android Wear 2 and it has GPS and NFC and will let you pay with Android pay system this is pretty much your only option unless you want to go with the much more expensive Movado or Tag Heuer brands. Speakers are As Good As It Gets for a smartwatch they are as equal as Samsung Gear S3. Overall; if you can get it with a lower price it is totally worth it.

I owned the original Huawei Watch and loved it.. I loved it's classy look, it's nice features, and it's great build quality.. When the Huawei Watch 2 came out I went to Best Buy to check it out.. really didn't like the sporty looks of the watch but loved the features.. I decided to hold off until the classic came out.. I watched my app and it finally showed in stock at my local Best Buy! I went, looked at their display and really didn't like the way it looked.. then I realized the display was plastic! So I gave it a chance and bought it.. sure enough the one I purchased is stainless steel with a titanium color! It looks much better than the display and is a very classy watch.. I like how it's not as shiny as the original!!
Favorite Upgrades
1.) Android Pay! I didn't think I would use it on the watch but I am.. and I use it more than my phone now! It works without the phone being present so for example I went to trader Joe's in my swimming trunks, no pockets so no phone and paid with my watch! It worked great!
2.) Constant Heart Rate Monitering - I don't really need this but it's neat! The original Huawei watch didn't automatically check heart rates
3.) Awesome battery! And when I am camping I can put the watch into watch mode and it last forever!
Overall: Great improvements over the original Huawei Watch! I do wish it still had the sapphire Crystal and all that good jazz but it's still a very classy watch and looks awesome

I have owned a previous smartwatch by IMCO and it was a pretty good watch but limited in some ways. My Huawei Watch 2 is much better than my IMCO. Both were very well made and looked stylish but the software is what makes the Huawei Watch stand out. Access to numerous apps and the Play Store make all the difference. The watch also has a barometric sensor as well as pulse, GPS, and all the other usual sensors. It makes a great sports watch as well as a general purpose watch. The best feature is how well it handles notifications and the interactions you can have with those notifications. I am very pleased overall with the watch, no complaints so far.

I love the look as it still look like a traditional watch. Had a problem with it disconnecting from my iPhone and would have to set it up as new device again erasing all the data. Battery sucks as most smart watches do. This watch is a better fit for an android phone as all it’s function will work, as apple limits non apple devices.

Excellent Android Wear 2.0 Experience

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I had an LG G Watch R for two and half years before finally upgrading. I've now had the Huawei Watch 2 Classic for about two weeks, and it's been a wonderful experience. The screen is much brighter and higher resolution. It's far more sensitive and responsive. With the upgrade to Android Wear 2.0, the G Watch R was slow to load nearly anything to the point that Google Assistant was effectively unusable. I include this information for any users who might be considering an upgrade from an older watch because I feared that the sluggishness was inherent to the OS, but it was certainly due to the outdated hardware of the G Watch R.
Battery life is excellent. I easily get 24 hours of use out of one charge. At the end of the day, I typically have 30 - 35% battery remaining. I charge it nightly.
The microphone hears me clearly. I don't use the speaker much, so I can't say much about it.

Excellent Android 2.0 Watch

I originally had the LG G Watch R. When it updated to Android 2.0, it was incredibly sluggish. I feared that the delayed input and response was a product of Android 2.0. After upgrading to the Watch 2 Classic, it's clear that the Android 2.0 OS is actually pretty smooth.
The screen is bright enough even to see in direct sunlight and the contrast ratio and color saturation are excellent. There is an effective oleophobic coating on the screen. Fear of fingerprints discouraged me from using my watch much before, but with this one, it's rarely a problem.
Battery life is excellent. I easily get 20 - 24 hrs with moderate use or longer with light use.
The speaker phone is stellar. When I ask, callers are completely unaware that they're on speaker phone.
The build quality is excellent. It feels sturdy and doesn't scratch easily.

With the version of Android Wear that ships with this watch it is slightly laggy but still responsive and nice to use. The bugs come from that early build of Android Wear and are not watch specific. Once you upgrade to "Wear OS" you will be greeted with occasional laggs, slowdowns, and the random disconnect from the phone...that does not go away with a reboot. It reconnects when it feels like it. The sad part is spec wise this is one of the best Android Wear watches out. I don't know if the problem is Huawei or Google, but either way it's a shame. With all that being said, if you want an Android Wear (or Wear OS) watch, this is a decent one. Looks great, feels well made, tells time, GPS works well as does the heart rate and excercise sensor. It's a 5 star watch, but the lags and disconnects take it down a star each.

One of the best Android Wear/Wear OS watches

No, this watch isn't as attractive as the original Huawei watch. It's more manly and ungainly but this can be mitigated somewhat with a 3rd party watch band. I went away from Wear for several months and used a Samsung Gear S2 watch instead. While it was better for some things, I missed certain apps like my authenticator app and other apps that aren't currently available for the Samsung. If you aren't a person who uses watch apps and you use an Android phone, you may prefer the Samsung watches (esp. if you have a Samsung phone) or if you're very into fitness you may be better served with a Garmin or Fitbit watch. I like Wear for its overall usefulness and features. The Huawei watch in particular has sleep and fitness tracking that is decent, even if not as good as what Garmin offers. The heart rate sensor probably works best on fair-skinned individuals, but it's tolerable if you're tracking based on trends and not accuracy. I like it a lot and since it has all of the features except LTE, I think it's one of the best Wear watches on the market right now.
