Honor Magic Watch 2 review

Honor's changed its syntax with the Magic Watch 2, but the device itself hasn't changed a huge amount from the previous model.

Sleek design Strong suite of fitness features Great battery life

Attracts dust Limited non-fitness features Music handling is buggy

The Honor Magic Watch 2 is a fantastic device for fitness buffs, with a range of new and returning health features like stress monitoring and exercise pace tracking. However, as with other wearables from Honor and parent company Huawei, its lifestyle...

Honor Magic Watch 2 review

The Honor Magic Watch 2 is full of fitness-tracking features, but does it beat its Android Wear rivals?

Lots of fitness tracking options ; Accurate Huawei TruSleep 2.0 tracking software ; Make and receive calls from your watch with in-built speaker

All dependent on Huawei Health app ; No ability to use music streaming services ; Awkward speaker-tied workout announcements

Hands on: Honor Magic Watch 2 review

The Honor Magic Watch 2 is part of Honor's push into non-smartphone devices, so is it a worthwhile smartwatch?

Decent battery life Always-on display Wrist-friendly design

Limited non-fitness features Dependence on app

The Honor Magic Watch 2 seems pretty fantastic for those who exercise a lot, with an impressive roster of exercise modes and metrics to track your workouts, but its non-fitness features are a little thin on the ground.

Honor Magic Watch 2 review: All about the battery life

An attractive fitness wearable that looks stylish on the wrist and has great battery life

Great screen ; Great battery life ; Impressive fitness tracking

No apps ; Limited sharing options

Battery life is stupendously good for a wearable equipped with an AMOLED display and it looks smart and does a decent job of activity tracking and digital coaching. The watch’s main problem is that it isn’t particularly flexible and it isn’t extensible...

Honor MagicWatch 2 - Review - Coolsmartphone

I've had a number of fitness bands over the years. As the months go by I somehow kill each one. It either drops off, stops charging or breaks down in some

Honor MagicWatch 2 review: Solid on health and fitness, but light elsewhere Review | ZDNet

The MagicWatch 2 covers the basics of health and fitness monitoring well, but Honor needs to work harder on its smartwatch offer. The absence of NFC and lack of support for third-party apps are the main concerns.

Long battery life ; Good integration with Health app ; Accurate and fast GPS

No NFC ; Proprietary LiteOS rather than Google Wear OS ; No support for third-party apps ; 46mm model is bulky

Honor MagicWatch 2 Hands-on: Powerful, All-purpose, but Not Pricey

Honor's MagicWatch 2 series caters to many different types of smartwatch owners, thanks to its deep fitness tracking, amazing promised battery life and many other useful functions.

That means no US availability, which could never really be certain while Honor’s parent company Huawei is on a US government blacklist. But that does not detract from the fact that the MagicWatch 2 is a well priced but premium-feeling smartwatch that I...
