Review on HONOR MagicWatch 2 Smartwatch 42mm, Agate Black by Somchai Promsombat ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

The following are the areas of contention: - Design. All of the reviewers agree that the product has a "great design," which is something I did not notice. When I opened the package, I saw a watch that had the appearance of being made of "plastic," but it turned out to be painted steel. If it were not for the fact that my wife likes the way they look, I probably would not wear them. I'm sure there's something wrong with me, but - The silicone band that comes with the watch is pliable and nice to the touch, but if you have sensitive skin, you will need to replace it. If water gets under it, then after some time the skin that is under the strap will begin to itch. The problem can be fixed by switching out the strap for one made of genuine leather; - The remaining hordes of sensors, training modes, and other water resistance +/- are found on watches produced by other companies; hence, the existence of all of this can be evaluated as "not terrible" or "not at all." In general, people have contradictory feelings about the purchase, and this is especially true after I gave my wife a Samsung Watch Active 2 as a gift. As you begin to make comparisons, you come to the conclusion that, with the exception of its autonomy, the watch does not have any undeniable advantages. Particularly damaging to the impression is the purchase of a "white" watch from the official store at a price of 12.5 dollars. In the video of one of the reviewers, I was able to learn that he purchased them in China for over six dollars despite all of the discounts he received. The pricing that you've stated for this watch is reasonable. Considering that this is the very first watch that I have ever purchased, it's possible that I have set my standards too high. In the future, I will not make such an error, and I will take the next generation of the galaxy if, by that time, no one else can accomplish something that is equivalent to it in terms of usefulness and quality.

Pros
  • - Large bright display with high pixel density (>300 ppi), although given the quality and fullness of the dials, there is no benefit from this;\s- The presence of a microphone to answer calls and there is even the ability to call from the clock to 10 selected numbers;\s- Relatively high autonomy, even with all the sensors turned on, it takes me 4-5 days;\s- The ability to use the watch as a player, although there is not enough memory for music, forget about loseless. The formats that it pulls have not been tried by me as of yet; "The presence of constantly on display," despite the fact that this is of limited utility. On the AOD display, you are only given the option of selecting one of four dials. Although these dials do not represent the bottom of the display, they are in no way detailed or stylistically related to the primary displays, and they are either uninformative or both. This is a nightmare for a perfectionist. I had to turn it off as a consequence, but the fact that it was there in the first place was already a benefit.
Cons
  • - There is no method to respond to text notifications; - The size of the watch increased as a result of its high autonomy; as a result, the watches are rather huge, and sleeping while wearing them is not very comfortable. There are a number of dials, evidently three quarters of which were taken from some kind of cabinet of curiosities; "third-party" dials are essentially nonexistent. The remainder is a matter of compromise. I did not discover a single one that would work for me in every way; the weather is only displayed on the phone if the geolocation feature is turned on, which causes the battery life of the smartphone to decrease. Do you really believe that? Why not incorporate into the application the capability of selecting a certain city and deriving the current climate from that location? - A bit, yet unpleasant . Why is it that when you set up a profile, you have to select all of these different units of measurement, such as feet, inches, and pounds? The arm lift sensor does not always function as it should, and the display does not always light up. Clock lags are fairly common. I, like, paid for it by purchasing the PCT.
