HUAWEI W1 Stainless Steel Classic Smartwatch, A very good lookingwatch and is totally compatible with my Huawei

The long and short of it is: i’ve owned three smartwatches and this one beats the lot. I get 2 days battery life, the screen is amazingly clear and the build quality is excellent.

Best thing i’ve ever bought. Battery is truthfully only one full day unless you use the lowest settings and you won’t even get 2 days then. Nonetheless 5 stars for an awesome piece of tech.

Beautiful watch spoiled by a very weak vibration motor, i usually never feel it and have to listen out for my phone which kind of defeats the purpose.

Can’t quite believe the battery life. Here i am at 21:18 having taken my watch off the charger at 07:30 and the battery is reporting 59% left. So what do i use it for after my first week. Dual time zone was great as i travelled overseas for christmas. Just brilliant3) messages and emails,4) bbc news notifications5) shopping lists, synched with my phone and my wife’s various devices. We share one synched shopping list. 6) step counter and google fit. 7) a simple calculator is always to hand8) evernote note access and quick note taking9) google maps directions10) controlling my beyondpod playlist. I’m sure i’ll find other uses but so far that is value for money. Issues: can’t open the bbc news app on the watch. Sits on ‘loading’ and then times out. Haven’t found my perfect watch face yet. Settled for one of the customisable huawei ones for now. I bought some additional 18mm leather watch straps from amazon. They fitted well, looked well and are good value.

Huawei does it again, absolutely brilliant watch .

This is a review of the huawei smartwatch. I have updated this as i made some negative comments about android ware at first, but once i was able to identify that the issue was with my phones os and not android ware, and was able to rectify it, i have found android ware to be a really good app. I bought this mainly so that i can leave my phone in my bag or pocket and not miss any important messages or calls. I could have done out a lot cheaper, but i haven’t come across a smartwatch that i liked the look of before as they are, in my opinion, useless and unnecessary of gadgets. One day delivery worked well as usual, and on opening the cardboard amazon box it was evident that this is a quality product a the presentation box is beautiful. The watch had about 82% power, and i downloaded android wear and paired my oppo r7 plus to the watch easily. I love watches anyway, and this is worth having purely as a stand alone watch. The notifications are good, and so are the apps, although i won’t use most of them. Notifications for texts and calls display automatically when the phone is either on ring or vibrate, but you have to swipe up from the bottom of the watch face and check manually if the phone is on silent.

Great watch always noticed by everyone. Battery life is great (almost 2 days), performance is good and is, without a doubt, the sharpest screen on a smartwatch (high resolution 400×400). Only major downside is almost a year after purchase and the official release of android wear 2. 0 still no sign of the update. I’ve asked huawei directly and the summarised response was ‘no idea’.

Great Watch

Looks like a watch, works like a watch, but then so much more.

Great watch and strap – had to 3D print a

Being used to heavier watches this one seems to be less substantial. The battery life is a bit short though the charge time is quick. The clasp to the strap is a bit awkward to use. A very good looking watch and is totally compatible with my huawei phone.

Absolutely love it, it’s elegant and stylish, perfect for those who don’t want a clunky looking smartwatch that screams to the world what it is.

Lovely watch, bought for my partner, only problem i encountered was that it didn’t turn up on time.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. My first smart watch or any kind of fitness type bank and this one is by far the best looking one on the market. I spent the best part of 4 months reading reviews and matching specs. Yes it is a little more money that a lot of them, but it is a lovely piece of kit. The strap is well made and feels solid and secure. The faces of the watch are varied and easy to change. Enough apps to keep me going. Paired really easily, and was delivered in a presentation box worthy of the crown jewels.

My third android wear watch and as you would expect this is the best. Beautiful screen 2 day battery life. Timeless classic design had loads of compliments on itloads of built in watch faces to choose from.

Terrific watch, the best i have used so far.

At last a watch from a chinese manufacturer that actually looks and feels premium. Only two things that let it down are the soft metal that most chinese products seem to use (remember screw drivers in that christmas cracker?. You get the idea), unfortunately the outer edge of the watch is very soft and prone to scrapes and scuffs. No, i am not a builder but sit rather boringly behind a desk. Second is android wear, what a concoction. I also have a samsung gear s2 classic running their own operating system. Now that’s how a watch interface should be.

Great watch and strap – had to 3d print a stand so 4 stars. New software updates make this even better. Good battery life, one of the top droid wearables for the price.

Pleased with watch, looks great and of good quality. Does what it claims to do and quite well.

Battery lifes not so good if you have notifications popping up all the time but if not the battery life is good.

After looking at the only 2 contenders worth your attention (huawei watch and moto 360 2nd gen) i ended up going with the huawei, for a number of reasons. The samsung watches are ‘out’ of contention as they use a proprietary operating system called ‘taizen’ rather than the standard android wear system and expect you to use a samsung smartphone otherwise minor features become unavailable. This will also limit your options for software updates in the future when samsung move onto their next watch. So stick with android wearwhile the internals are the same specification as the moto 360 2nd gen and some other android wear devices, the watch itself is made from premium parts, the kinds of metals and materials more common in high end mechanical watches from the big brands. The screen is covered in sapphire crystal which is tougher and more scratch resistant than sapphire glass (used on apple watch) and gorilla glass (used on practically every other android wear watch). Additionally it has the best screen out of all android wear devices, featuring the highest ppi and utilising amoled technology meaning you can enjoy ambient mode (leave the screen enabled all the time) without the battery getting hammered as much as you would expect. The moto 360 (for example) uses a regular lcd screen with a light sensor on the front to try and minimise battery use by dynamically changing screen brightness; while this is a decent solution it means the round clock face is spoiled by having a portion chopped off the bottom, giving it a flat tire look, rather than being fully circular. Battery life on the huawei is pretty good, at the end of the day with ambient mode enabled (screen always on) i was still rocking 50% battery charge; and while 2 days may be pushing it; 1 and half days should be easily attainable. However i’d still recommend charging every night alongside your smartphone. The watch sits on a small magnetic puk with pins which is hassle free; just make sure the pins line up.

Nice looking but still not quite there yet.

One of the best looking smart watches around. Superb quality , great choice of faces , not as many as for android users , but very impressed. . Battery life after initial continuous use seems to be around 30 hours.

Beautiful timepiece, very elegant and classy worth every penny.

Vodafone V-Kids Watch – Good idea, poor execution

Son loves his new smart watch. Well made, location accuracy not always the best but my iphone xs max is sometimes off too. The general location coupled with voice notification should be enough if we needed to local our son. Worthy purchase if you can buy it on offer like i did. Not to sure it’s worth the full rrp. Setup isn’t straightforward so be prepared to spend sometime setting it up. Once the product is all set up it really is a good piece of kit, it takes little time to go through the process with the vodafone sim but it is worth doing. It is easy to voice message and gives me peace of mind with the sos function built in, the games are a good feature to keep the little one entertained. The gps tracking works well with the vodafone signal and no problems so far. Love this, it’s a brilliant well designed product but the battery life is very disappointing. Esta muy bien, yo se lo he comprado a mis hijos y es casi exactoen la posición aunque podrian mejorar la interface e incluso ...

INIUPO Kids Smartwatch : A++++++

My 6 year old son loves this watch. Charging and adding music is so simple. The battery holds its charge brilliantly for days. The option to add 10 contacts is great as well. The strap is very soft and comfortable to wear. I bought the gifgaf 2g sim card and it works perfectly. Nought for my son and he absolutely like it. The strap is soft and the screen is very clear. Battery life is good but he keeps fiddling with watch so it drains the battery a bit early. Apart from that, happy with the purchase. I bought this watch fory kid for her birthday , she loves this watch it has many attractive features with games in it with music and camera and many more , she’s is much in love this watch predent, it’s colour is very vibrant i highly recomnf it to buy.
