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
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...

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...

A solid device, with a solid price tag.The Huawei Watch 2 is said to have a starting price of about $350, same as that of the Samsung Gear S3. But, quite honestly, its build feels a bit cheaper than the Gear S3.Still, the Huawei Watch 2 is a very solid we...

While the Huawei Watch 2 is a wonderful showcase of all the new features and capabilities of Android Wear 2.0 and its particular focus on fitness, the new direction this has resulted in will be disappointing for those who are fans of the elegant simplicit...

Abstract: I had a chance to get some hands-on time with both while here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Of course, it was fairly limited, since both watches were tethered down to fancy tables to keep me from going for a run. Still, it was enough to poke at s...
Abstract: When it comes to smartwatches, every second counts.Huawei and Motorola seem to think so, anyway. In what can't be a coincidence, the two companies are releasing their remarkably similar-looking Android Wear devices at the same time -- and thus battling it...
Abstract: You know what they say, gang: When it rains, it pours.Just yesterday, I strapped on the new Moto 360 smartwatch, which showed up in the midst of my Moto X Pure Edition review process. And now, what do we have here? Why, it's the other highly anticipated W...
