Huawei my next SmartWatch? Some questions!

Hello,
i bought a Galaxy S7 Edge (was an Iphone 6 Plus and Apple Watch User).
But now i need a new Smartwatch.Not really sure if i will buy the Moto 360 V2 or the Huawei Watch.
In my opinion the black little sensor bar on the Moto is a disturbing.
But more important for me are the WatchFaces.It seems as the Moto 360 has more Whatchfaces (like the Repo Faces of some luxury brands ) than the Huawei Watch?
Is this point right or can I get these Designs on the Huawei Watch,too?
Sorry for my bad english,my friends.English isn't my main language.

You can download all the watchfaces from the PlayStore that you want. Paid or Free and can even make your own.

IMHO watchfaces are not relevant at all in the choice of a smartwatch, as it's always possible to find the wished watchface somewhere or to design one by yourself (using Watchmaker).
More important to consider are the hardware differences (design, screen, etc.) and the price...

Most Android Wear faces are compatible with most of the devices and it's usually stated if they're not. The only big issues can be square vs round watch faces and low resolution, since the Huawei Watch has a higher resolution screen

I'm really a Newcomer in this topic.So i can't make Whatchfaces by myself and so i am depend on the developers of this great Designs.
Most Watchfaces which look good for me are designed for the Moto.But i don't know if it's such a problem because of the Screen Resolution.
If not I would go with Huawei.All in all,the price isn't an important point for me.
I can't buy a Tag Heuer Connected but the price between the Huawei and Moto is ok.

It's hard to say without any specific examples. Can you link any of the Moto faces you're interested in? But I have only come across very few faces which looked low-res on the Huawei Watch, most are fine since everyone uses high-res graphics anyway.

I do not know if that is so like to see, but I'm interested in Watch Faces like in this thread .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/themes-apps/watchmaker-500-watchfaces-monster-pack-t3276583
Edit : It seems as if this kind of Watchfaces have this black sensor bar in every Watchface.So it's hard to find this kind of Watchfaces originally made for the Huawei

Most of these watchfaces even though they were originally released for the moto will work on Huawei. I have many of them installed on my watch and they work just fine. I have not used this source which you have mentioned but I hvae obtained them from other places like facerepo. You will need to purchase the full version of Watchmaker however

Maybe you don't know this site:
http://www.watchawear.com/watches/watch-faces.html
There are hundreds of free watchfaces to be used with Watchmaker.
And actually even a child can learn to use Watchmaker..

Watchmaker and Huawei watch works perfectly. You can use any round watch face no matter if it was designed for Moto or not.
Never had any issues.
Here you can also find plenty watchmaker watchfaces: https://plus.google.com/communities/106982503578105386202

I think his main concern is that Moto faces all have that flat tire look and it carries over to the Huawei watch. But they don't..that area is covered up. As an example look at this watch someone with a Moto posted: https://plus.google.com/photos/1132...202&sqsi=25e11c8c-fc50-42c4-95d4-fea916b927cd
I just installed the same watch face and took a screenshot of it (look below). It looks just fine Not flat tire and the resolution is fine.
Also when you install an app like WatchMaker, you can customize the watch face as you want, changing colors and shortcuts etc.

Thank You very much.
I thought that the Black Sensor Bar would be on everyone watch because they are made for the Moto Watch.
Am I right,that the link i posted earlier would be in Fullsize without the Black Bar?
In Facer they have all this Black Bar.
Thank You for your help.

Google Pixel 2 + Smartwatch

I'm wondering how many of you have a smartwatch with your Pixel 2 (XL) and what kind it is? I'm shopping for a smartwatch now. I LOVE the look and feel of the Nixon Mission and it's waterproof for up to 300 feet I believe( I'm not a diver but I hate taking my watch off to swim), but the price sucks, I also love the look and feel of the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. I really want one that is waterproof as can be. I don't really care for taking calls on my watch. But I do love the notifications I can get on the watch. I really want good battery life. Just want to know what you all think of your watches if you have them....
Would love some feedback!

I've got a Gear S2 Classic - if I use the always on display, then I get about a day and a half of battery life. That extends to 4 days if I turn off the AOD.
Here are the pros:
Getting notifications on my wrist is perfect when I'm in a meeting. It allows me to discretely check to make sure it's not important without pulling out a bright 5" phone screen.
I wake up at a different time than my wife every morning. I can use the watch's vibration as a silent alarm while it's on my wrist.
I can change the watch face and bands to match my outfit. Dress it up with a metal band when I wear a suit or keep it casual with a black leather band when I'm wearing jeans.
Here are the cons:
Price - I got mine from an eBay user who never wore it and just wanted to sell it for cheap, so I only paid $150. I could never imagine paying full retail prices for these things.
If you try to use anything other than the smart reply features to incoming text messages, you'll hate typing on it.

Speaking of battery life in a smart watch, never go for a watch with android wear! The OS sucks. Tizen OS is just better in every way. So Samsung Gear S3 is the best when it comes to battery life & user experience, Not to mention that rotating dial for navigation which is very very convenient. As for as the looks Huawei watch 2 is awesome.
P.S: i dont use a smart watch.

I had a LG G watch but the battery life on android wear is just too ****ty. I want a Samsung gear s3 frontier

I use a Polar M600, which suits me very well, but I don't think it's for you. It has all the attractiveness (or lack thereof) of a running watch, which it is, but it also does everything I want a general-purpose smart watch to do.
As has already been pointed out, no Android Wear watch offers truly great battery life. Getting through the day is the best you can hope for with AW.
My own personal oddity is that I prefer watches with a light background, so I avoid OLED displays, which need to be kept as dark as possible to minimize battery drain. That's one of the things I like about the Polar: its transmissive display. I'd prefer transflective, though
You might consider an activity tracker, instead of a smartwatch. The Huawei Fit, for one, looks more watch-like than most, supports notifications, and is said to be waterproof and have long battery life. I have no direct knowledge of it, so I can't endorse it, but it looks like it might meet your specs.

True, android wear sucks. (Sony smartwatch 3, Motorola moto 360 in past)
For sport Garmin and Suunto. I had Garmin Vivoactive HR, great like sporttester, weaker like smartwatch.
And now I bought Fitbit Ionic on January. Good smartwatch and sporttester in one.

I've been using an LG watch Urbane with my non XL Pixel 2. It works ok, but sometimes looses connection. I can get about a day and a half out of it but normally charge it every night.
For the past couple of weeks I've tried not using it again and leaving my Bluetooth off, and it seems to have granted me around an extra 5-6% battery compared to using the watch.
It is fun to get notifications on your wrist and reply with the Swype keyboard, but I think it's not useful enough to warrant losing the phone battery.

I haven't found any suitable replacement for my Sony SmartWatch 3. Newer smartwatch's might have a HR-censor that I don't use anyway. Even when running three times a week the watch has at least two days of battery life. If not running it will be three to four days. With my new Google Pixel 2 XL I have smartphone that match the the battery life of my smartwatch.

I use the original Huawei Watch (still the best looking smartwatch out there) and love it. The only bug I have is since I bought the Pixel 2 I can't pick up phone calls directly on the smartwatch because if that setting is on the person calling me dosent ear me for like 10 seconds when I pick up a call on the phone. Google is aware of this and says it will release a fix.

I've had the Samsung Gear S3 and while it was nice, if it's not a Samsung phone it does not work correctly. I switch to the Huawei Watch 2 and it's perfect. Don't listen to someone who doesn't wear one. I got about 2 days a battery on Samsung in about a day and a half on the Huawei Watch 2. Both with normal use. Battery saver can get you a lot more time with it if needed. I never use it though. Android wear is getting refresh as Wear OS soon so let's see what that does.

I have a FitBit Ionic. I'm a former Garmin VivoActive and Apple Watch user.
I don't get much into the applications because I almost always have my phone with me anyway. So far, it's been great. Battery is 5+ days easy unless you're using GPS a lot, and even then it only drains at about 8% per hour. The display is pretty nice and there's a decent amount of watch faces available with more trickling out once in a while.
It has arguably the best app for the smart sport watch segment and the HR, movement, and sleep analytics make it a pretty good fit for me overall.

Is there any androidwear or tizen nwm watch that can be trigger for a photo on google camera? I'd like to place a phone on a tripod and make photos from distance

Everyone else is having huge issues with "Play phone voice call on watch" on my Pixel 2 XL their android wear smartwatches where apps (Phone, Duo, WhatsApp - anything that uses a BT headset) freeze for 10-15s after making or receiving a call on the phone with the watch connected?
There's many many people complaining about this since December. Here's the Google bug report where you can report it https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/71010564

I grabbed a Ticwatch S, my one issues is when I get in the car Android auto starts going crazy on my phone(constantly restarting). Must be a bluetooth conflict between car/phone/watch

Garmin watches will last weeks in smartwatch mode until you start actively tracking activities that enable the GPS.
Right now I'm wearing a fenix 5X that works well with the Pixel 2 (did NOT pay full price for it). I think some of the cooler devices out there now are the vivoactive 3 and the vivomove HR. I know people with both and they really enjoy them.

I also wear a Samsung gear S3 with my pixel2.
I used the same watch on the OnePlus 6 and now I'm wondering what exactly isn't working right for you. I used to own a s8 and don't see any features missing on the watch. So please elaborate [emoji4]

The messaging app would give me problems. Didn't show mms pics and had trouble with threaded conversation. Couldn't use Samsung voice and ok Google wasn't an option so no voice dictation. That was along time ago and I now have a Sony xz2. My Huawei Watch 2 is still going strong with that one.

Smart watch for my s8+

Does any of you know any good ones. I was leaning towards the s3 frontier and the gear sport. I want it to handle a little rough day to day use. Water resistance is good. I will mostly use it while working and attending classes. Thank you

@SlowNicoFish
I have the Gear S3 Frontier, i use it basically everyday to keep stats on the distance, heart rate, notifications. It works perfectly i have to say i am charging it everyday for 2 hours so when i come to home put it on the charger make dinner eat watch some tv and when finished it's already fully charged go to the gym and sleep with it. ( on stand alone it can stay on for 2/3 days depends on brightness which watch face you use etc.
But i do recommend it, do to its design it looks like a watch instead of the iWatch or the gear sport but its all personal taste. i love collecting watches like from every brand but since i have the gear s3 frontier i stopped collecting and only used this one and occasional change the watch face if i get bored

Don't buy gear sport

I was using the AMazfit Cor for 299 RMB, but just a band. I was using it and I liked it because I could swim with it and it . would count my strokes as steps. However, I absolutely smashed it, while playing cricket (like baseball) when I dived for a ball.
I really want to get the Amazfit智能运动手表2
However, it costs 999 RMB.

Why not?
I have this and absolutely love it...I had the Gear S3 Frontier before but it let water in and now I can swim with the new Gear Sport and am absolutely living it. Plus it comes with Tizen 3.0 which is an amazing Watch OS compared to Wear OS...

wear os is far more compatible with android than tizen os
and samsung is also going to use wear os for their watches as they said so

Sure sounds that way on the surface...theoretically, but in real life settings I still wanna know what in your opinion WearOS does that TizenOS can't do in terms or "more compatibility"...I have a WearOS device (LG) and a TizenOS device (Gear Sport) and I can tell you now both are compatible with all my apps without a hitch at all....In fact I find that Samsung Health (even has dedicated Swim feature) beats Google Fit hands down...
I also use an app called Watchmaker on both and for TizenOS it requires a companion app to be installed on the device...still works without a cinch...

Blood pressure and wear os

Hi everyone...
Wondering anyone left wear os and got samsung galaxy watch ? I have the Huwaie 2 and saw the galaxy active has blood pressure but didn't like the design cos if I hit it there is nothing to protect it. Love the galaxy watch but wanted to know if it too can measure blood pressure and case not any future updates enable it or it's not capable??
And case it will never get it any advantage to switch?
Thanks a lot all ..

Not blood pressure , only bpm.... to measure blood pressure GW needs another type of sensor....which is too big for a watch

!
The samsung galaxy active has blood presure and the galaxy s10 and s10 plus have them too...
Was wondering if galaxy watch has it too or only active !
