Can the Huawei Watch 2 offer something different to a sea of other fitness-focused smartwatches on sale in 2017? Read our Huawei Watch 2 review and find out.

Great watch, light weight looks great. Battery life is two days. I purchased this after owning the Huawei watch second generation that also has 2.0. The Huawei 2 is a great addition for a all purpose casual watch. Very comfortable. Great product from Huawei.

Overall, the Huawei Watch 2 is another good showcase of the capabilities of Android Wear 2.0. However, that comes with its own innate pitfalls. Wear 2.0 has a focus on high features, most of which have a focus on fitness.

AMOLED display is great; helps with battery life Two-day battery life Watch Mode further saves battery Nearly all new Wear 2.0 features leveraged well

Lack of an extra navigation method (rotating side button) Design needlessly sporty Watch strap feels cheap

Huawei took to the stage on Sunday 26 February 2017 to announce not only its flagship for 2017, the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus, but also its second generation smartwatch, the Huawei Watch 2.

As a smartwatch that will deal well with sports, the Huawei Watch 2 is actually pretty good.

Wearability and solid design; Android Wear functionality means phone-free control; 4G option; Two day battery life (on Wi-Fi only

Strap is cheap in look and feel; No rotational dial control; Battery life on 4G; Huawei Health app can be irksome

This is second Watch from Huawei that I have tried the first was just over a year ago in March 2017. So how has this developed and devolved over the last year, it certainly linked with my phone almost instantly and means my phone can remain in my pocket when in areas that I would rather not remove...

The Huawei Watch is a slick, second-generation device that irons out the kinks of the past, emerging from the chrysalis of iteration as the fully-fledged smartwatch it always could have been, given patience.

Good battery life; Solid performance

Display too small; 4G connectivity isn't elegant; No waterproofing

The Huawei Watch 2 is a capable device that's smarter than your average smartwatch with even more connectivity than any other smartwatch as well thanks to the 4G SIM card onboard.

When it comes to being "in the loop", sometimes you're simply not able to keep checking your phone. So, for that those important messages or notifications, this is where the smartwatch has tried to help out. But is it all it hoped to be? Even after several updates and improvements?

Within the category of smartwatches, the Huawei Watch 2 is a great device. But that doesn't mean it's one you need to buy if you're not already sold on wearables.

The Huawei Watch 2 is one of few watches that supports 4G connectivity; though not in the US; and does fitness tracking as well as any other wearable

No features that make this a must-have device for the average user; It's also a little too big and bulky, and its 1.2-inch screen is too small
