Huawei’s Watch has been one of the most popular watches with Android Wear and this time around the company released two different variants of their brand new model – the Huawei Watch 2 and Huawei Watch 2 Classic.

Today, in this video, we are looking at the Huawei Watch 2 Classic. It has a classier look with some extra features like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. The Watch 2, however, has the LTE connectivity and a fitness-focused design language.

The first impression about this watch is that it is bulky, just like any other smartwatch. A great thing is that it is well-built and it doesn’t seem to break anytime soon.

The watch runs on Android Wear 2.0 that has a ton of features and customization options. Just to name a few, you get NFC payments through Android Pay. Also, you can track your fitness routines through the built-in heart rate sensor and other metrics.

Another cool feature of the Android Wear 2.0 is that you can install apps directly on the watch thanks to the built-in Google Play Store. Also, you can text or make calls directly from the watch, use navigation thanks to the built-in GPS module and so on.

The user interface seems to be fast and smooth, and the watch is powered by the Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset.

The Huawei promises up to three days of battery life, with the Classic connected over the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi thanks to the built-in 420mAh battery.

Huawei Watch 2 Classic will sell for €399 in Europe, up from €379 for the LTE Watch 2, or €329 for the non-LTE model — and significantly more than LG’s Watch Sport.

Huawei recently launched the P10 and P10 Plus flagships at MWC 2017 and in addition to the two smartphones, the company also announced its latest smartwatch, the Huawei Watch 2. The Huawei Watch 2 joins LG’s smartwatch as the first two watches which runs on Google’s Android Wear 2.0.

Apart from Google’s latest OS running inside the Huawei smartwatch, the Watch 2 comes with a sportier body and equally has a Classic model with a black paint job and leather straps. The Watch 2 sports a circular 1.2-inch face. The display is surrounded by etched ceramic bezels which add a premium feel to the device. It is powered by a Snapdragon 2100 chipset and features NFC which can be used for Android Pay. There is also the prospect of LTE support onboard, depending on your region.

The Watch 2 is a complete fitness band, packing features like heart rate monitor, fitness features for monitoring activities like running, cycling or working out on the treadmill. There is also IP68 level of protection against water and moisture, so there is no cause for concern about using the device in wet conditions. Huawei did well in cramming a large 420mAh battery inside the device which can last up to 25 days under the Watch mode. Under normal usage, though, the smartwatch can last up to 2 days.
