Software and firmware need work
on February 9, 2017
Posted by: SoccerDad
It's a very nice watch, but there are some firmware improvements and app improvements needed. For example, heart rate is way off when you run and your hr increases. Sometimes it's 20 to 30 bps off. Also, the app doesn't take hr into consideration at all for its calorie calculation. There is a slider bar where you guess at the level of exertion you gave during exercise. Why measure hr if your not going to use it in you calculation?
Another point is that you cannot manually update your stride length for walking or running so the distance calculation can be wonky.
If Withings can fix these things, I think the watch will be a winner. The question is if and when will might happen. As it stands right now, this isn't so good for fitness, but it looks great and the notifications work well.

Nice Fitness Tracker
on November 22, 2016
Posted by: SoccerDad
I've used many different fitness watches, including Garmin, Microsoft Band 2, Fitbit Charge 2, and the Apple Watch. I actually really like this because it works like advertised but also really looks like a watch, I received a compliment on my watch recently which I've never received when wearing everything else. I'm not going to go into things that are mentioned in the previous reviews, rather, I wanted to mention a couple of things I find important.
1. It's got a Gorilla Glass face (and it's low profile on your wrist). It's a fitness watch that gets used while being active which means that it will get bumped some. Both Garmin and Fitbit use plastic lenses and, from my experience, they both scratch very easily, both the Garmin Vivosmart HR and Fitbit Charge 2 were scratched within a couple of days. I think if you have to put a screen protector on a watch or have to be concerned it's going to be scratched from everyday use, then it's time to look for a different watch. Both the Apple watch and the Microsoft Band 2 also use Gorilla glass.
2. You don't have to charge this every night. Monitoring sleep is nice to have as is measuring your heart rate at night. Spiking heart rates can be an indication of a sleeping disorder (sleep apnea). Since this has a 6 (sometimes 7 day) battery, you don't need to carry the charger with you when you travel like I do. This seems trivial, but it's not when you travel a lot. I actually returned my Apple watch because about half the time, it didn't make it through an entire day. The Microsoft Band 2 was a 1.5 day device. Garmin was about 4 days as was the Charge 2.

In description it says "Water-resistant design Suitable for pool swimming. Maximum depth of 4.92' of water for up to 30 minutes". Is that true? I swim about an hour. I read that the watch can track my strokes, laps, etc. but why it is only 30 min?

That's not correct. It's good to 50 meters and you can use it for swimming as long as you like. Right now, it does not count laps.

Will this device track my paces with no phone connection? For example, I want to wear it and go for a walk without my phone. Does it work?

Yes it does. I do this all the time.

I have read that it has a running training program? Do these programs run without phone once setup in Huawei Wear app? Can i use it for 5k / 10k training like C25k interval based training with alteranting walk / run instructions ?

There is no interval training, and once you set up the watch, you don't have to have the GPS connected to run the programs, although your distance will be off a little, but not much.

Can I put music on it in get notifications on it how about making phone calls and can I go swimming with it and take a shower with it in a built-in GPS?

You can't put music on it, but you can receive calendar, text, phone call, and email notifications. You can't make phone calls, but you can swim and shower with the watch with no problems.

It uses connected GPS so it links up to your phone when running, walking, or biking.
