Review on HONOR MagicWatch 2 Smartwatch 42mm, Agate Black by Micha Spodymek ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not a good product, not worth the money.

If it were not for the curved software and the fundamental indifference of the manufacturer, the watch for its money would not be bad. And so, after two weeks of use, having spent a lot of time on setting up, which I could not complete, I decided to order the GTR2 as soon as they start selling, and put this product on ebay. It is unlikely that when I will buy any product from Honar / Highway again.

Pros
  • Declared a good list of features for a reasonable price. Beautiful appearance even with the screen off. Excellent picture on the screen due to the high resolution. Of the little things that are rarely mentioned, I liked: Among the native dials there are a couple of suitable ones, in the style of "smart watches", that is, where you can display 8 - 10 parameters. Moreover, in one dial, you can even choose what to display in four parameters. Recorded audio files can be flipped not only individually, but quickly scrolled. When the function of activating the screen by turning the hand is turned on, in case of false positives, the screen quickly turns off. Continues to work only when you hold before your eyes.
Cons
  • Glitchy software, lame information dissemination by the company. As an example. There is a setting to enable screen time. No matter how many times I put the screen on, it still goes blank. It turns out that by setting, for example, 20 seconds before sleep mode, you must also set the backlight to 20 MINUTES of the backlight. They mixed up the word minutes and seconds. Try to guess. The Health program, which is needed on a smartphone to use the watch through the Market, is distributed in a long-outdated version. Services must be installed for correct operation. This is not a word from the manufacturer at all. Services distributed through the Market are also outdated. They don't work with the 10th Aneroid at all. You have to guess everything yourself or study on the Internet. Technical support is virtually non-existent. I was unable to set up access to the server. More precisely, access is half an hour, sometimes two hours after installation / reinstallation, and then it is blocked forever. There are no diagnostics in the program, only a ridiculous offer to check access to the Internet. I called those support, but they said that since I bought the watch not in 2022, I had to call China. The fact that the original product is purchased for the global market does not matter. Vibra. There is only a mosquito squeak, which is barely noticeable when you tune. In real conditions, I have never been able to notice. In fact, there is no vibration in the clock. Audio files can only be transferred through the Health program, but many people write about this. But they do not specify the transfer speed. I copied 100+ songs with a total weight of 300+ MB about 3! hours. But it's still okay. The main ambush is that the sound in the headphones when connected from the clock is below any criticism. As in headphones for 100. There are about a dozen native dials, there are a couple dozen more in the application. And thousands more on the internet. BUT they are very hard to put on. It is necessary to study w3bsit3-dns. Com or similar resources for a long time and thoughtfully.
