Huawei Watch 2 review: Time out

10 April 2017
Huawei unveiled the Watch 2 next to the P10 couple of flagship smartphones. Although the handsets took most of the attention in Barcelona, the watches - yep, multiple versions here too - didn't completely go unnoticed either. After all, it's been two years since the original Huawei Watch.

From what I am reading, the HRM is off by as much as 20 bpm, the notifications are sometimes lost and the latest firmware supposedly made the HRM not detect anything over 141bpm...

And I was about to buy one, too...

      I'm with these other guys in customer service. A month after I got my watch, the button popped off- warranty refuses to cover it, now I can't even turn the thing on, it's otherwise perfect :(

To clarify my statement, I phrased "...one-star Huawei product reviews..." which, in context, means that Huawei products have many reviews ranging from one to five stars. However, I'm referring to the reviews where individual users have written their review and rated the product one star.

                So, go ahead and read the product service nightmares that Amazon customers have left for Huawei products.

                    I need only look at the one-star Huawei product reviews on Amazon's U.S. site to know that I'll never purchase a Huawei product.

                      I think it is a cool feature for people like me who constantly listen to music while on the go. I use wired headphones without a mic so taking your phone out everytime somebody calls can be a bit annoying.

                        I dont need a smartwatch. I dont do activity tracking, the phone is easier to reach and there's too many things to charge. Howerver I like a watch that can change to different watch faces.

                          "The battery life of the Huawei Watch 2 managed to impress. The device lasts two days in normal use..."

                          WHAT A JOKE !!

                          Anyway, why this on review section instead of blog section.

                          Seem fishy to me

                            nice conclusion but it could have been cheaper also for something that is not a necessity. for now, they are too expensive. i still have to think twice if smartwatches costs as a Redmi Note 4 .

                              Who need a sport watch which is not able to track sport activities?
                              I hope it will be fixed in new firmware, in other case this model is useless.

                                GPS only updates once per minute? Surely that's not right. Vo2max etc but broken GPS? Shame if true

                                  ""Conversation with the Watch 2 is effortless. The only problem you might have is with bystanders, because even in 2017, talking to your wrist doesn't quite attract the right kind of attention.""

                                  Its more about annoying behave. No one is interested in your conversation, even if you talk using phone. It could talk even using ring on finger or pen. No one like when someone talk on the phone near them, ESPECIALLY with speakers turned on.

                                  Phone function on watch is one of most annoying and useless thing, its on market for good few years(+ additonal few years for only-phone watches from 95-2005)
                                  And It never catch on globally.
                                  Its just fancy addon for people with really small self estate that always look for pretext to use it in front of friends because they never use it in normal situation, because its annoying.
