The Huawei Watch 2 doesn’t have the same elegance that its predecessor had, but we mustn’t forget that it’s also aimed at a different target audience: athletes. Equipped with Android Wear 2.0, numerous sensors and an optional SIM card slot, the Huawei Watch 2 is well set up in theory. But, in practice, does it live up to everything it’s set out to be? We reveal all you need to know about this smartwatch in our review.

Huawei P10 review: so much more than just an upgrade
The LG Watch Style is the smaller and cheaper model of the two new wearables which were released by the South Korean brand. Made official alongside the launch of Android Wear 2.0, it landed at MWC in Barcelona where I had the chance to put it on my wrists for a few minutes.

Launched in early February in conjunction with the launch of Android Wear 2.0, the LG Watch Sport is one of two new smartwatches from the South Korean manufacturer. Developed in partnership with Google, the Watch Sport is, as the name suggests, the model intended for a sporty crowd. Since it was presented at the LG booth at MWC 2017, we were able to do a hands-on review. Here are our first impressions.

All about the new Huawei Watch 2
After completing a first quick test of Android Wear 2.0, we’ve decided to undertake a more in-depth assessment of the latest Android Wear update. We used the Huawei Watch as a test device for the so-called Developer Preview. Whilst the watch is neither optimized nor includes complete features, it still provides you with a good preview of the Android Wear update. We’re still in the early stages of the update, but it’s already showing such a great potential that perhaps the time has come for us to give smartwatches a second chance.

Gear S2 review
IFA last year ended up being a showcase for wearables, especially smartwatches. The conclusion was that many of these devices, although interesting, needed time to mature. A year later, Asus was one of the first to take the stage at IFA 2016 with the ZenWatch 3, the continuation of one of the more affordable Android Wear smartwatches . This new watch is not as cheap as its predecessor, but has more interesting features.
