Design choices

The editors didn't like
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

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 —...

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...
