Sales of smartwatches haven't quite taken off in the way manufacturers would have liked them to, but Google, Apple and a host of third-party manufacturers keep plugging away, despite all that.

Decent battery life; Packed with sensors; Android Wear 2

Expensive; Plastic strap looks nasty

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 is the successor to the popular and adored original , and it's a controversial one. Gone are the classy looks, replaced with a sporty body and packed with features.

The Watch 2 packs all of the hardware features you'd expect from a modern premium smartwatch, backed by Google's ever-evolving and increasingly effective Android Wear OS. The standard strap might be a bit cheap and ugly, but that's easily fixed and the overall design is chunky but lovable.

Sensor packed; Water resistant; Android Wear 2.0; Design choices

I like it, you have to customize the watch a lot but after that the battery lasts 2 days and it works very well. When you do not use it, it goes into airplane mode.
