If you're researching the Huawei Watch, I'm assuming you know something about this product already. You've made your peace with not going the Apple route, and you're an early adopter. I was on the fence between the Huawei Watch and the new Moto 360 2015. I had both ordered at several points and finally pulled the trigger on this one.I've given this 5 stars because, of all the Android Wear offerings, this is the one which is clearly head and shoulders above the rest. However, after using it for the last 30+ days, I've come to several general conclusions. Don't worry, I'll put some Pros and Cons below. But my observations are this.* This is a toy. I thought this would intrinsically change the way I use my phone. It hasn't. My phone is still my constant companion and I look at it just as much, if not more. What the watch does well is help me count steps, and is better at getting my attention when my phone is ringing or my wife is texting. However, this isn't the tool I imagined. It's peripheral.* Android Wear isn't there yet. I'm an Android fanboy. I don't go the Apple way on principle. However, this version of Android Wear feels like Froyo instead of Marshmallow. It's functional, not fluid. Google will continue to do what Google does best and iterate the snot out of this until it's smooth as butter. But it's not there yet. I will frequently get a "white screen of death" telling me Android Wear has stopped functioning. The different apps will often stutter. The connection between the phone and watch will often become disconnected. I anticipate all of these things will get better in weeks, not months. Still...Android Wear isn't there yet.* Playing with watch faces is F-U-N. I've always wished my watch could do more and still look like jewelry instead of a Casio style Geek branding iron. Timex Ironman watches did cool things and looked like dime store trash. Citizen watches were pretty, but could mostly just tell time. Finally something with looks and flexibility.* Charging a watch is ridiculous. The battery issue will be solved, but not today. The awful proprietary charger on this thing keeps me tethered to USB. And at $40 a charger, you have to think hard about getting more than one. To its credit, this sucker goes from 0-100% in about an hour on any powered USB, including a computer. It's fast. But it still needs to charge. and I wish I could give you a good estimate on battery life. My battery life on this thing has gone from 2 days to 6 hours with no rhyme or reason. Today I charged at 10 a.m. and at 1 a.m. I'm at 41%. Not bad. Yesterday, I went from 100% down to 15% from 8 a.m. to noon. Why? You got me.Let me give you the pros and cons I promised.Pros* It's the best jewelry Android Wear around. The Sony Smartwatch 3 has better electronics, the Zenwatch 2 is a better price, but for something you can dress up or down, you're not going to find anything better than this. If you still wear a watch, you wear it partially because it's a piece of jewelry, and this is the best one. Period.* The face is a real circle. The flat tire is a concession you shouldn't have to make. It's simply inexcusable Motorola couldn't fix the 360 for 2015. They had the mind share and they lost it. The Huawei takes the promise of the 360 and delivers where Motorola chose not to. I know, I know, the light sensor is there. Still, the reason I wear a watch isn't to tell the time. It's jewelry. I have a phone which tells me the time. Motorola needed to understand the market for watches.* The battery charges fast. See above for my rant regarding battery inconsistency. What is consistent is charge time, and it's F-A-S-T.Cons* The same internals as everyone else. This has the same 512 megabytes of RAM, same 4gb of storage, same processor and same chip layout as every other watch manufacturer. You are getting a sharper screen with higher resolution, but the capabilities of this are precisely the same. Really, Huawei? Differentiate where you can. Give me stellar performance. Thrill me a little, okay?* Did I mention the battery inconsistency?* Android Wear apps are...okay. The developers will get there. But they're not there yet. There's something wrong when one of the most compelling apps I have is a beautiful coin toss app. On the flip side, getting the stopwatch to get started takes too many taps. On a regular watch, it's a turn of the knob and press of a button. For this watch, it's swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, tap, tap.* $350? Really? In two years, my watch will be a dinosaur. I'm keenly aware in a couple years I'll be trashing this. My Citizen cost $400 and it lasted me about twelve years. I still have it. It still works fine. For the Huawei Watch, I chose the stainless steel which is the lowest costing watch mostly because the black one was hard to justify at $450, and the gold one was certifiably insane at $800. In two years all of them are toast. Meanwhile my Citizen will still be working. My question is will I feel foolish at the end of those two years or looking forward to the next version of Android Wear and shelling out more cash to ride that cutting edge.I rate this high because, for what it is, it's great. My reservations are not about this particular watch, but the entire category. The pain points are price, software development, battery life and functionality. None of these are Huawei's problem in particular. What they've done is delivered the best Android Wear has to offer. Let's talk again in two years, though, and see what this market looks like.
