Huawei Watch review: Classy, comfortable Android Wear smartwatch looks great with a suit

After our initial  post on hands-on with the Huawei Watch and since then have been able to also test one out with the stainless steel mesh band. Huawei's first Android Wear smartwatch is a winner, if Android Wear meets your needs.

At first I vacillated between the new Moto 360 and the Huawei Watch, but after using both for a couple more weeks I've grown to prefer the Huawei Watch for a few reasons. These include the full round display, higher resolution, standing and elevation tracking, and overall fit and finish.

For another opinion on the Huawei Watch, check out the CNET review.

The specs of most current Android Wear devices are similar with the only real differentiation being in the display resolution and materials used for the product.

Hardware

The Huawei Watch ships in sturdy, dark brown box reminiscient of what you would expect when buying a high end standard watch. Lift off the top and then flip the lid with the stiff hinge to reveal the Huawei Watch sitting in a compartment of leather.
Underneath the Huawei Watch is a folder with some basic instructions and below that is the wireless charging dock and USB charger. The charging dock is similar to the Apple Watch dock, but requires that the four gold pins on the back exactly line up to the connection points on the back of the Huawei Watch.
