Review on HONOR MagicWatch 2 Smartwatch 46mm Charcoal Black by Wiktor Jak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

The watch met all of my expectations and more. The weather is the most bothersome drawback for me, and for some reason I don't even remember the other ones, even though I did pay attention to them. On a beautiful summer day, the screen is incredibly readable, and the music player seems on level with my smartphone (Huawei Nova 5T) in terms of audio quality. After 4 software updates, 3 music downloads of 50 songs each, listening to music while training with GPS turned on, by the evening of 3 days, 20% remained on the watch, which is very worthy, I think they will live quietly for a week in a mode of use close to active, and there were no complaints about autonomy at all, so I put it on right away in the store. The timepiece can be worn with either a casual or formal outfit, thanks to its versatile design. The watch is very comfortable to wear; I never imagined that I would be able to fall asleep while wearing it, but it's true. Despite my list of complaints, I am pleased with my purchase. Any of my concerns may be addressed by updating the watch's software, and I would love to see the option to save photos or text documents on my wrist. This feature isn't necessary for me, but it would be really helpful for others whose jobs need them to take tests frequently.

Pros
  • The ability to answer calls (which sounds ridiculous at first but is actually quite helpful) The screen The design and construction quality Ability to listen to music while exercising without relying on a mobile device
Cons
  • While the training mode is active (for example, while running), I am unable to listen to music (maybe I'm stupid and haven't figured it out; if so, please explain in the comments); The "activate the screen by raising the wrist" feature produces false positives, and it does not function properly when the user is lying prone, however these are minor issues; - A huge minus: if you want your watch to display the current weather, you need to have geolocation switched on on your smartphone. If you disable geolocation, your watch will display the weather from the last time geolocation was turned on. If you toggle it on and off, the forecast will stop appearing on the clock at midnight unless you enable geolocation in the Health app's settings. This is a huge drawback; why can't the watch show the weather forecast that the phone downloads from the internet? I don't see any reason to enable geolocation, which drains the battery life of my smartphone.
