Re: Huawei Watch Review: An Excellent First Effort From Huawei

AtlasSpeaks — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 03:54:23 -0000

yes i know why there is a flat tire @NeilGeorge. however, after owning the huawei watch for almost a week now, i've come to realize it's there because the 360 NEEDS it. my huawei has been regularly finishing out the day at around 60%+ with fairly heavy use, and that's thanks to amoled using no power for blacks. i still charge it before i go to bed but it's never dipped below even 50% by the time it's time to sleep (and i don't sleep a lot!) the 360 needs the light sensor because it has to compensate for that energy it needs to spend showing blacks. and let's not forget contrast. the pixel density mixed with the contrast amoled gives makes a lovely image.

i also forgot to mention the 360 has a plastic back while the huawei is sporting a mostly steel back.

and @trwnh, 50 dollars is a true pittance if you are shelling out money for a smartwatch that is a luxury in of itself. if you have had previous watches that used non-sapphire glass then you would know how important it is for a scratch-free watch.

don't misunderstand me, i'm not a huawei fanboy. in fact, i almost bit the bullet on a first gen 360 and considered the new one, but the huawei just beat it on too many levels to take seriously. i'm very happy with my black huawei. (note that i'm also somewhat of a watch collector)

the tradeoffs go like this:

moto:
pros: more customization, cheaper
cons: no amoled, flat tire, cheaper screen covering, plastic backing, weaker heart rate sensor (if that's your thing)

huawei:
pros: amoled screen with higher density (this is actually HUGE because amoleds do not use energy for blacks, making contrast better and energy savings much better for black watchfaces and any watchface while in ambient mode), sapphire crystal (blows gorilla glass out of the park), full screen (no flat tire), better heart rate sensor.

cons: not as much customization, slightly more expensive.

huawei wins by a landslide.

I think you missed my point. anyways, riddle me this:

if the same person who gave you that sentimental trinket had given you the choice between a clump of dog hair or a swiss army knife which would you have chosen?

this is awful. so much pretentious nonsense, and i'm actually a person who loves to travel and wanted to like the article.

for example, i'll delve into why even her second sentence begins to reveal the steaming pile of horse excrement that this seemingly great topic devolves into.

i'm a huge nerd. i'm also a huge fan of horology. and the facts are this: a rolex, while a needlessly expensive example of a watch, is a masterpiece of engineering on the wrist that can serve a multitude of functions, the least being telling time. a hand-woven bracelet serves absolutely no purpose besides decoration or perhaps sentimental wishy-wash however, and it's such a fanciful skip through a field of proverbial daisies to state that it's intrinsically better than a purpose-built tool that does something incredibly vital.

again, i love to travel but i'd take a rolex over a stupid hand woven bracelet any day because i am intelligent and i don't live with my head up my rear.

decently written but poor execution and even poorer concepts.

because sadly american telcos simply do not care about the consumer, but only for the almighty dollar. in korea the public backlash would be so bad if the korean telcos tried to pull what some of the american ones do to their customers that the company would see immediate negative affects.
