Which smartwatch?

[Guest]

Should I get the Asus zenwatch 3 or the original Huawei watch, please tell me why. Currently the Huawei is 10 dollars cheaper.

zenwatch 3 has a crappy proprietary band and where it attaches breaks, and you may have to replace more bands (I've read several people have had this issue.) other then that its not a bad watch.

 

Can't comment on the other.

Many have said that the battery on the ZW3 is below par and their expectations, barely lasting a day under moderate to heavy use compared to the HW which can pull around 1.5 to 2 day on a single charge with the same level of use. But that isn't as large of an issue as both watch batteries charge rather rapidly.

However, the ZW3 is newer than the HW as it was released December 2016 compared to 2015 September of the HW. That means that the ZW3 has Watch OS 2.0 already loaded on it but the HW will need to wait for the update to be implemented. 

 

Apart from those small differences, both watches essentially have very similar specifications and both are similarly sized. So it depends more on what you prefer as per aesthetics and possibly battery.

None! I've tried several. They just aren't there yet. Functionality is so basic. A $20 fitness bad will give notifications and vibrate to messages.

Stopped wearing all my smart watches a while ago. Back to good old g shocks!

Unfortunately Android Wear smartwatches just aren't there yet. Save your cash.
