Huawei Watch review

Huawei's first smartwatch is a stunner with its sharp screen, sleek design, and the latest version of Android Wear.

The Huawei Watch’s sleek design and attractive style options make it impressive to behold. Its performance is on par with every other Android Wear smartwatch we’ve tested, and the battery lasts through a day, but no more. The only sticking point that...

Huawei Watch

As far as smartwatches go, the Huawei Watch looks great and performs well, but it requires deep pockets and a love for Android Wear.

Attractive design. Nice display. Heart rate monitor. Relatively good battery life.

Expensive. Android Wear is an acquired taste.

Conclusions If you're an Android Wear fan and you've got a healthy budget, the Huawei Watch is your best bet yet. It pulls just ahead of the similar Moto 360 thanks to a better display, a more accurate heart rate sensor, and longer battery life. That...

Huawei Watch review: The best-looking Android Wear watch, but still only an Android Wear watch

The Huawei Watch features the highest resolution display of any Android Wear watch and is the first to feature a sapphire crystal display.

Comfortable to wear. Looks great. Features a high-res, fully round sapphire crystal display. Runs the latest version of Android Wear. Includes Wi-Fi for some phone-less functions.

The watch is thick, battery life is short for a watch, and the Android Wear software still has a few drawbacks. The lack of an ambient light sensor means the watch can't automatically adjust brightness.

The Huawei Watch is one of the best-looking smartwatches out there, but the Android Wear operating system still feels like a work in progress.

Huawei Watch (Stainless Steel with Black Suture Leather Strap)

The $350/AU$549 digital timepiece, simply called Huawei Watch, is one of the best looking smartwatches we've seen to date. Simply put, it's beautiful. Huawei also managed to pack in some extra features that help the watch stand out in an increasingly...

Huawei Watch review: Gordon Gekko gets a smartwatch

It's hard to review the Huawei Watch. It's not just because Android Wear, unlike Android on phones, is essentially the same across all watches. Some manufacturers install a few custom watch faces...

Always-on, round screen ; Good battery life ; Gordon Gekko would love it

A little too big ; No ambient light sensor ; Gordon Gekko would love it

Huawei Watch Review

This device has been a long time coming - and anticipated by round-faced smartwatch hopefuls. This is Huawei's first fully round display-toting wearable device, and indeed one of the first smartwatches with a fully round panel to have been shown to the...

Your decision to purchase a Huawei Watch will be largely based on price, more than likely. While the device might look and act surprisingly similar to several other smartwatches on the market today, Huawei’s price range for materials varies greatly....

Huawei Watch Smartwatch Review

Successful debut. The Chinese manufacturer introduces its first real smartwatch with the Huawei Smartwatch. The watch convinces in the test and also makes a top impression. The device can especially score in wear comfort and build.

great design, high-quality material selection, very good build, heart-rate monitor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, easy to exchange wrist straps

only middling battery life, Wi-Fi not very efficient, no ambient light sensor

The Huawei Watch hardly differs from other current smartwatches like LG's Watch Urbane or Asus' ZenWatch 2 technically. Huawei has developed an efficient product with a somewhat longer runtime than, for example, the Urbane despite a comparatively small...

Performs well using an Android Phone, design is beautiful, battery life is more than acceptable for a wearable, brilliant display. Android experience brilliant

iPhone experience feels incomplete, lack of auto-brightness, battery indication is hard to see, pin charging method is flaky and frustrating. iPhone experience falls flat

Huawei Watch Review

Even though it took quite a bit of time to come to market, especially when it was first introduced way back in March during MWC 2015, the Huawei Watch is the first of many smartwatches to come out this fall season in hopes of winning that precious real...

Premium classical timepiece design ; Sharp display ; Decent choices with case options and bands ; Responsive performance

It’s pricier than other comparable options ; Nothing really new with the Android Wear experience

Huawei nails it right on the dot with its first Android Wear offering in the Huawei Watch. From its premium design, to the sharp display, and its responsive performance, there’s really very little to not like about it. Well, there is just one thing...
