TOP-15 of the best smart watches and fitness bracelets Huawei: rating 2019-2020 and how to choose a device with wide functionality

Manufacturers of various electronic devices offer a wide range of various devices with wide functionality.

Flagship models of smart watches from well-known manufacturers can easily replace a fitness tracker, payment card or even a smartphone.

Among the most famous brands is Huawei.

Smart watches from this brand are in the middle price category and are devices with many options.

How to choose and what to pay attention to?

Buying a good smart watch is not easy, because when choosing such a device, you have to consider many characteristics.

Below we will consider the parameters of these electronic devices, which you should definitely pay attention to.

• Commutation. Smart watches are synchronized with mobile devices. But here it is worth remembering that some watches are compatible only with certain brands of phones, for example, the Apple Watch synchronizes only with an iPhone, while an Android-based watch, including Huawei, is suitable for most smartphones. One way or another, before buying, you must definitely check the watch for compatibility with your mobile device.
• Display. There are currently four display options: AMOLED, IPS, E-Ink and monochrome dot display. The first two are preferred for those who want a color screen. E-Ink or “electronic ink” is suitable for those who prefer a black-and-white display and are interested in a longer battery life.
• Control interface. Currently, the smart watch uses three control options: touch, button and a combination of the first and second type.
• operating system. Smart watches can be equipped with an operating system, but this is not a prerequisite. Some models, paired with a smartphone via Bluetooth, do not have their own OS and do not support the ability to install additional applications. Others work on an adapted operating shell, and here there are already several options. For example, Huawei operates primarily on the Android OS.
• Applications and features. The satellite navigation function (GLONASS, GPS, etc.) allows you to track the location of the owner of the watch in real time on the map, as well as trace the necessary route. Another interesting feature is the NFS payment system.
• Battery. Operating time largely depends on which screen is used in the watch. Models with economical E-Ink displays can last for up to two weeks without recharging.Gadgets with bright AMOLED screens are unlikely to last a week. Therefore, you should always pay attention to the battery life of the device.
• Appearance. An important point specifically for smart watches in terms of design is the ability to replace straps. In devices from Huawei, this opportunity is used very widely - you can pick up any strap that will set you apart from other owners of such watches.
