No rotational dial control
Battery life on 4G
Huawei Health app can be irksome
Boring design lets down high-quality build

Questionable heart rate data

And its 1.2-inch screen is too small

Abstract: Android Wear continues to be a very interesting breed of smartwatches. Some companies choose to go fancy, and others choose to go sport. It's really very hard to find one watch that fits both criteria, something kind of odd considering that the most popul...
Abstract: Huawei announced its new Watch 2 at Mobile World Congress. This second iteration of the smartwatch comes packed with boatload of features. With the Watch 2, Huawei has gone with a more sporty look, abandoning the classy looks of the first generation.The W...
The Huawei Watch 2 definitely has its pros and cons, and it's going to come down to what you really want from a smartwatch.After all, a watch is a fashion accessory, and let's face it, the Watch 2 simply isn't sexy. The small display tends to cut off bits...
Abstract: The Huawei Watch 2 came out and quickly saw an update to Android Wear 2. Does this new version of Android Wear bring with it enough goodness to make it a compelling option for buyers comparing it to the competition?No single smartwatch has the momentum a...
Good built quality and display quality, Long battery life in Watch Mode, Multiple Workout options easily accessible, Built-in GPS, standalone Android device
A little bulky, screen-to-body ratio could be better, Companion health app could, more intuitive
While I need to test more features, so far the Huawei Watch 2 lived up to my expectations, providing a great experience for everyday usage. I am a big fan of using Google assistant, a feature of Android Wear 2.0 to access all kinds of features, and specif...
Fantastic fitness tracking, lots of smart functions, compatible with Android Pay and voice control,
Mediocre display, unappealing aesthetic
The Watch 2 by Huawei is a solid smartwatch that thoroughly improves on its predecessor. While we do wish Huawei had spent a little more effort on the overall design of the watch and on its display, this watch more than compensates with its excellent fitn...
Very accurate heart rate monitor that works 24/7, Built-in GPS means you can run without your phone, It's not as bulky as sportier watches like the LG Watch Sport or the Garmin Fenix 5X, Watch's speaker produces surprisingly good audio quality
The screen is so small it makes text very hard to read, especially while moving, Battery struggles to last 24 hours, Not particularly attractive, Plagued with lag, crashes, and random bugs
Stainless steel accents give it a premium feel, Battery life is impressive and can be stretched for weeks, The leather strap is equally good for working out and dining out
Its bigger, thicker, and less elegant than its predecessor, No digital crown for scrolling, Too much fitness and not enough fashion
The Huawei Watch 2 is a fine Android Wear 2.0 entry, but it doesn't bring enough to the table to separate it from its peers...
Excellent battery life, full set of exercise features, rated IP68 waterproof and dustproof, high quality display, fast performance, standalone GPS and NFC, can connect to Bluetooth headphones on its own
Relies too much on touch controls, needs a physical start/stop button for workouts, too expensive, Prev2 of 2Next
Like last year, I think Huawei did a pretty good job with their smartwatch. But, I still have some lingering doubts. I think it's a solid smartwatch for runners, but the lack of a dedicated start/stop button for runs is enough to put it on the back foot —...

Continuous heart rate monitoring, Built-in GPS and Android Pay compatibility, Accurate step and distance tracking, Good battery life,
Strap feels chintzy and isn't easy to swap out, Difficult to keep track of long-term fitness progress, Wi-Fi can be finicky
The Huawei Watch 2 features excellent fitness tracking capabilities and is the strongest showcase for Android Wear 2.0 we've seen so far, but that still doesn't make it a perfect smartwatch...
