Abstract: I'm a firm believer in the usefulness of smartwatches, but even I can't deny that the product category is struggling. Despite Apple joining the fray with its first Watch two years ago, wearables still haven't taken off with mainstream consumers. Google'...

Abstract: There's no denying, I was a big fan of the original Huawei Watch. It was classy, stylish, and most importantly for me, it looked like a real watch. Enter the Huawei Watch 2. This year, things have changed. With this device, Huawei has its eye on the fitn...

Small charger, Good battery life, Always-on display
Humdrum design, Mediocre apps, No LTE support for the U.S version
While I was testing the Watch 2, Huawei CEO Eric Xu Zhijun was quoted as saying, "I am always confused as to what smartwatches are for when we have smartphones." His ambivalence about the category reinforced mine, and nothing about the Huawei Watch 2 alle...

Abstract: Huawei's latest smartwatch comes with a sportier look, built-in GPS and 4G/LTE capabilities, and all the bells and whistles of Android Wear 2.0, but is it going to be enough to make you want to buy one? New Atlas takes a look.The Huawei Watch 2 actually...
While this is Huawei's first watch with Android Wear 2.0 running on it out of the box, it isn't their first smartwatch on Android Wear in general which helps to make this device a success. Huawei has built a nice smartwatch here and the build quality as w...
It's bright enough and it has an ambient light sensor, It's here and it works, All the acronyms! The Watch 2 has LTE in the nonClassic variant I'm using here, along with GPS, a heartrate sensor, and NFC, It easily lasts over a day, but I never managed to
I realize this is subjective, but I've yet to speak to anyone who had anything nice to say about how the Huawei Watch 2 looks. It is generic men's sports chronograph in the extreme, Between the plastic body, comical bezel, and the bargain bin silicone wri
The Huawei Watch 2 has proven an uncommonly hard thing to like. While it ticks all the boxes for a modern Android Wear device (well, most - the rotating crown would have been nice), Huawei has executed the product in a way that just defies common sense. A...
Huawei unfortunately squandered the good will it built up over the past two years with the original Huawei Watch. The Huawei Watch 2, while retaining a sequential naming convention, is in no way a worthy step up from the original. To its credit Huawei did...

Sensor packed, Water resistant, Android Wear 2.0, Design choices
Cheap strap on standard model, Occasional pause or stutter
The Watch 2 packs all of the hardware features you'd expect from a modern premium smartwatch, backed by Google's ever-evolving and increasingly effective Android Wear OS. The standard strap might be a bit cheap and ugly, but that's easily fixed and the ov...
