In 2018, Huawei's R&D expenditure reached 101.5 billion yuan, accounting for 14% of the total annual sales. Huawei's consumer electronics products have advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, and have been able to form a comprehensive challenge to international giants such as Apple and Samsung. According to IDC's research report, in 2018, Huawei's wearable devices accounted for the top five in the international market, ranking second in China.
 
The exterior design is one of the highlights of the Huawei watch. Most of Huawei's consumer electronics are "business style" design style, in 2015, Huawei released its first smart watch using Android Wear operating system, named Huawei Watch, the design highly restores the appearance style of mechanical watches, the watch body is made of polished stainless steel, embedded with Amoled round display, with cowhide or metal straps, the appearance is calm and atmospheric. Huawei's follow-up smart watches completely continued this style, and launched a variety of materials and styles of straps, and also launched a limited edition in conjunction with "Porsche Design", which took a lot of thought into the design. The Huawei watch is on the large side, with a body diameter of 42-48mm, which will be a burden for users with small hands.
 
Huawei's current smartwatches on sale are Huawei Watch 2, Huawei Watch 2 Pro, and Huawei Watch GT. The first two use Android Wear 2.0 Chinese version of the operating system, with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 processor released in 2016, the software and hardware level is average, and there is occasional lag when sliding. Since Google's native apps cannot be used normally in China, they are all replaced by domestic apps, the quality of the apps is uneven, and the system consumes a lot of power, and the battery life of the Huawei Watch 2 is only about one day. Huawei's current main Watch GT removes the Google system, similar to the Garmin sports watch, with rich built-in functions but does not support third-party applications, and is "downgraded" from a smart watch to a functional watch, but the battery life has improved by leaps and bounds, and the battery life can last up to two weeks.
 
As a domestic brand, Huawei has performed well in localization, and its built-in functions are in line with the usage habits of domestic users, such as supporting Alipay offline payment, which can be paid without connecting to a mobile phone after binding. The HUAWEI Watch supports NFC bus cards across the board, which brings great convenience to users who commute to work every day, and is much more practical than Apple's Apple Pay. If you buy it for elders or novice users who are not keen on studying software and hardware, then Huawei watches are more convenient overall.
 
The HUAWEI Watch has comprehensive sports health monitoring functions, including sleep monitoring, heart rate monitoring, positioning recording, altitude measurement, and various sports modes. However, Huawei's automatic monitoring function is weak, and you need to manually turn on a specific sports mode before exercising, which is not smart enough compared to Apple Samsung's automatic detection of sports mode, and it is more troublesome for users with scattered sports.
 
In terms of communication technology,Huawei is ahead of most manufacturers,Huawei Watch 2 4G version can choose Nano-SIM or eSIM two versions,Nano-SIM card version is the same as most mobile phonesYou can insert a card to call and surf the Internet,Applicable to more regions; The eSIM version does not need to insert a physical SIM card, using the operator number writing method, more and more operators in the city began to support eSIM technology, the biggest advantage is to support one number dual terminals, watch mobile phone share a number.
 
In the selection of a variety of Huawei watches, consumers who pursue intelligence and expansibility and look forward to partially replacing the functions of mobile phones with smart watches are recommended to choose Huawei Watch 2 or Watch 2 Pro. For consumers who see smartwatches as a sports health monitoring tool, the Huawei Watch GT with a lower price and longer battery life is a wiser choice. In addition, Huawei's independent sub-brand Honor released the HONOR Watch Magic/Dream in 2018, Huawei Watch GT has the same origin, and the functions are basically the same, but the screen is slightly smaller, but the appearance design is younger, and the price is less than 1,000 yuan, which is more suitable for young people to buy.
