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
Relies too much on touch controls
Needs a physical start/stop button for workouts
Too expensive
Prev2 of 2Next
A little bulky
Screen-to-body ratio could be better
Companion health app could
More intuitive
Its bigger
Thicker
And less elegant than its predecessor
No digital crown for scrolling
Too much fitness and not enough fashion
Strap feels chintzy and isn't easy to swap out
Difficult to keep track of long-term fitness progress
Wi-Fi can be finicky
No features that make this a must-have device for the average user. It's also a little too big and bulky
And its 1.2-inch screen is too small
Cheap strap on standard model
Occasional pause or stutter
Humdrum design
Mediocre apps
No LTE support for the U.S version
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
Uninspiring design
Lack of rotating bezel or crown
Making for a constantly dirty display
Android Wear 2.0 is still a little rough around the edges
Lack of an extra navigation method (rotating side button)
Design needlessly sporty
Watch strap feels cheap
Some may find it pricey
I do wish the steel portion around the watch face was thinner

Nicer design than I expected, Build quality is amazing, Improved charging puck, Android Wear 2.0, Good fitness tracking, Heart rate monitor
Some may find it pricey, I do wish the steel portion around the watch face was thinner, Call quality isn't the best
I was wrong. My first thought based on the look was that this watch was going to be a dog given how much I loved the first generation. This watch is really a stellar performer and it's pretty damn good looking. It's not the same design as the first gen an...
The attractive design firmly cements the Watch 2 as a fashion piece rather than a bit of technology to strap on your wrist. Quick access to Google Assistant is also invaluable if you are that way inclined. It is one of the more expensive Android Wear devi...
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...

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...
