HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e Smartwatch – First Smart Watch – Very Happy

Firstly, this isn’t really a smart watch, it’s a really good fitness tracker which is what i wanted. Everything works really well from the screen to the sleep and gps. My only problem so far is that the huawei health app doesn’t upload to strava just yet, hopefully they’ll sort that with a future update. The battery is as good as they say, i’m getting well over a week and i run quite a bit.

This is my first smart watch and so far i have been very happy with it. The watch is a good size but doesn’t feel bulky. The various watch faces are easy to select and use. The menu is straightforward to navigate. I’ve noticed a difference between distance/calorie tracking as compared to another app (i use endomondo). Not sure which is most accurate as both rely on gps. The huawei tracks under endomondo at the rate of almost one mile in every 12/13. Heart rate monitor is pretty much bang on. I’ve tested ‘manually’ alongside the watch and both measures come out the same. Message notifications are simple enough to set up.

This watch is very good value, light and comfortable to wear. It seems very accurate at tracking steps, with or without the gps (which locks on quickly). The heart rate monitor also seems to be accurate and the sleep monitoring is very interesting – better than i’ve experienced with samsung or garmin watches. The battery looks like it will last for more than the advertised 2 weeks, which is excellent. The downsides are the lack of watch faces (and lack of customisation) and slightly laggy interface, when compared with the galaxy watch. However, for the exceptional battery life, this might be a good trade off for many people.

I’ve only had this watch a few days, and so far, i love it. It does not pretend to do everything that an android wear smartwatch does, but everything that it does, it does well. I have previously owned a huawei w1 classic, which i returned, as it was just too flaky. Apart from that, its battery life was useless; especially if you wanted to use it for sleep monitoring. For the last 18 months i’ve had a huawei fit watch, which has decent battery life, but a dull monochrome display, and difficult user interface. That device provides in a decent sleep monitor (although it thinks you are asleep if you stay very still) and step counter, and when taken for a walk or run with a smart phone, combines gps data from that device to plot the route, using the health app, and computes stride length, cadence etc. It provides message notifications and vibrates when phone calls are received. It’s heart rate monitor takes intermittent samples, and is a bit flaky; sometimes producing erroneous, dangerously high, one sample long peaks. The huawei watch gt should be considered to be the replacement for the fit, and not a member of the w1, w2 smartwatch family. It starts with the functionality of the fit watch, adds to it, and removes most of its weaknesses.

Excellent bright screen which doesn’t wear out the battery. I charge it on average, every ten days. The app is in the development phase at the moment so has some limitations. It doesn’t ring my phone when i lose it-though it says it is doing so. Also the altimeter doesn’t link with the app, which is rather annoying as it’s extremely accurate, so i cannot record how much i have climbed on the phone, but can on the watch-bizarre. Watch faces fairly limited at the moment, but the one i use is the one that has the most information i need. Overall a great watch, with an amazing battery life. A little on the large side- but this makes it easy to see.

This is a very good looking watch and performs very well on tracking side of things. You cant add any apps which for me an absolutely no problem at all as i want to use it as tracking device/watch which it does very well to my surprise. The downside is that you cant watch independently to the app as the app on your device collected all the data. The other thing i do not like is that in exercise mode there are very limited options, i would like to have different sports mode like tennis, badminton soon or even general sports as the current app only has running, swimming /triathlon. The recent update got new faces which is very good but it makes the watch slightly slower in my opinion. Overall great watch slightly let down by the software but i can more than live with that.

Great display, size, weight, battery. Everything about the watch is great. The problem is with the app that you have to use with it. There is one key problem with it, the step count. The app on your phone counts them as well as the watch which means you have great inaccuracies, google it, it has been an issue with the huawei health app for ages which may be why there are so many for sale in new, unopened condition. If huawei simply gave the option in the app to take the step count from one source, the watch would be a clear 5 star rating. Come on huawei, get your techies on it and you might sell more wearables.

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 ...
