According to the latest market share figures released, the Apple Watch hits the top of connected watches. Competition is undermined.
Despite the release of recent competitors such as the Huawei Watch 2, the Apple Watch Nike + and its squared apple sisters have little to worry about. CEO Tim Cook was right to welcome the good sales of the connected watch made in Cupertino. When the sales figures were released in March, Steve Jobs’ successor confirmed that the number of Apple Watch sales had almost doubled in one year. His statements gain even more weight after Strategy Analytics experts through The Indian Express issued a verdict on the market shares of the various smartwatches currently in circulation.
The Apple Watch is widely ahead of the first quarter of 2017 with 53% market share. It is ahead of Samsung which ranks second with its Gear S3 among others (12.8% market share). The South Korean firm also climbed the ranking as it was previously overtaken by the US company FitBit, now third with 12.2% market share. The Apple Watch, which has won new wristwatches since the WWDC, is a stylish and sporting company . The competition is far behind, and the Cupertino firm can see a bright future for its smartwatch.

There is an area on which connected watches want to position themselves: health! Thanks to powerful technical innovations, it will be possible in the near future to maintain your body. These first tools are just beginning to be developed and several manufacturers are trying to get the best out of the game by providing the best product. The Stanford University conducted a survey of several models like the Apple Watch, Issue 1 of connected watches , the Samsung Gear S2, Microsoft Band etc. The result ? In a market where competition is rather light , Apple is positioning itself as the best model to monitor your heart rate!
To establish this ranking that crowns the Apple Watch, which is available at less than € 380 , winner, Standford University was based on the error rate. The apple comes out with a margin of error of 2% while its competitor of always, Samsung, is inflicted a margin of 6,8% with its Gear S2. The South Korean will have to work a little more on this side to hope to break through this environment that is gradually opening up.

Test: 15 days with the Huawei Watch 2, the connected watch that will push you to zap your smartphone!

The Huawei Watch 2 spent two weeks in my hands. I was able to test this new connected watch which can do without a smartphone as well seems and here is the time of the verdict.
After seducing smartwatch enthusiasts with its Huawei Watch, the Chinese manufacturer decided to continue the wrist adventure connected in 2017. Equipped with the latest technologies, the Huawei Watch 2 regaled me . Light despite its thickness, independent despite its format, the new connected watch of Huawei throws. She successfully completed all the steps of my test . But is this Watch 2 truly revolutionary compared to its big sister? Does it bring real added value? I will try to answer it in the next few lines.
Aesthetically, Huawei radically changed its Watch 2, compared to the Watch Classic. If the first generation of Huawei’s connected watch was distinguished with its leather strap and metal dial, the new generation is more sporty, more masculine. Featuring a lightweight silicone bracelet and a metallic and plastic frame, the Huawei Watch 2 is easy to wear . But if the Huawei smartwatch visually gives the impression that the ring and the dial are not fixed, it is not. In reality, the crown does not move. Which makes it difficult to navigate the system, as you will see. To finish with the negative sides of the design of this new watch connected, I must mention its size.
The thickness of the Huawei Watch 2 has nothing to do with the finesse of an Apple Watch but this is due to the fact that all the components of this watch are housed in different places compared to other smartwatches. Weight level, the Watch 2 is even lighter than its elder who was nevertheless less muscular. And even if the screen of the Huawei Watch 2 is small enough (a strong impression with the big ring), Android Wear 2.0 draws the best from this connected watch . The icons are large and the information is clearly legible. To navigate the Huawei Watch 2, there is no question of using the ring that is fixed. No, everything is done on the finger. At first, I had a little trouble getting out but after a dozen interactions,
And thanks to its light sensor that adapts to all conditions, the Huawei Watch 2 adapts to all lighting conditions . The colors are glowing, the rendering is really wow. The new “dock” of the watch, which is accessed by pressing the first side button, allows me to easily access the apps and it’s really cool. And Android Wear 2.0 allows you to enjoy a drawer of quicker settings more accessible and organized. But what is really stupid on this connected watch is its independent side. Available in 3 versions, the Huawei Watch 2 is offered in a model that can be equipped with a nano SIM or e-Sim integrated. These two versions can push you to leave your smartphone at home!
As Huawei France’s marketing director summarized so well, “when you run with the Huawei Watch 2, you do not need your smartphone anymore . ” Even better, both SIM and e-SIM versions can send messages or make calls , even if your smartphone is not within reach. Basically, these versions of the Huawei Watch 2 turn into a kind of smartphone at the wrist. And the cherry on the cake, the autonomy of the new connected watch of the third smartphone manufacturer in the world is better than that of his big sister.
The battery lasts two days in normal use (like responding to SMS with short pre-recorded answers or, to use simple features like alarm). If you put on the watch so that it becomes the best ally for your sports sessions, its battery will not hold the day. But good, it can still do without charge for 10 hours . Let us hope that the next generation enjoys greater autonomy. Oh yeah, I was forgotten. The Huawei Watch 2 can also display the time, number of steps (and basta) in a “Clock” mode that resembles an extreme energy-saving spell.
The new Huawei Watch is still a beautiful kid but is making good progress on the sport. Even if it gets wet, it can accompany us from morning to night. A bigger screen would have helped to establish itself as a gadget that would make us crack every time. But personally, I’m already seduced. This connected watch is one of the best things I’ve tested. And it is not for nothing that she has already won several prestigious awards. If you want to get it , it’s by HERE that it happens .

A day with the Huawei Watch 2, the connected watch that is independent of the smartphone

The Huawei Watch 2 is finally available for purchase. We had the chance to test this connected watch, in preview and here are our impressions.
11h : OMG, I became a VIP at Huawei. After having had the opportunity to test the Huawei P10 , I will now tackle the Huawei Watch 2. Already, with my first watch signed Apple, I felt like James Bond. So, imagine my kif when unpacking this watch under Android Wear 2.0! On my wrist, the Huawei Watch 2 throws. But if you hope for a small discreet watch, it’s dead. The Chinese giant sees the big picture.
12h : Aesthetically, Huawei has radically changed its Watch 2, compared to the Watch Classic. If the first generation of the connected watch from Huawei stands out with its bracelets, the new generation is more sporty, more masculine. Featuring a lightweight rubber strap, the Huawei Watch 2 looks visibly easy to wear.
12h30 : Hardly twinned with the P10, the Huawei Watch 2 recovers most of the apps installed on the smartphone. This sync is done at high speed V, thanks to the new Android Wear 2.0 operating system. The new “dock” of the watch, which is accessible by pressing the side button, allows me to easily access the apps and it’s really cool.
13h : In addition to having changed design, the new connected watch from Huawei has been transformed inside: it is now waterproof . She can now accompany me in the shower or during my sessions at the pool since she is certified IP68. For the dolphins, we’ll see later … In short, I decide to go under water and fortunately for me, the watch always walks oklm.
14h : By becoming waterproof, the Huawei Watch 2 decided to show its muscles . The connected watch now uses multiple sensors with complex algorithms, offers fitness solutions and optimizes drives. These integrated sensors collect comprehensive data on user activity, distance, speed, number of steps, heart rate, heart rate, calorie count, pace, route, etc. Doing sports has never been so crazy for a geek.
14:30 : But what I really like about this watch is being able to detach myself from my Huawei P10, whenever I want. This new smartwatch embeds its own modem of the blow, it is autonomous . I can finally go out running without my smartphone, while being able to be reached by message or even by telephone. Since I had the slab, I decided to test the GPS built into this watch (a real novelty) . I literally could give up my P10 to the editor and geo-locate with my watch.
16h : The Huawei Watch 2 is a true formula 1 compared to its eldest. It’s a bit like “Flash” smartwatch version. Navigating between the apps is a real happiness especially when compared with the slow hell imposed by his big sister. And cherry on the cake, its autonomy meets all my expectations . The battery lasts two days in normal use, up to 10 hours in “training mode ” and up to three weeks in “watch mode”.
Appraisal :
The new Huawei Watch is still a beautiful kid but is making good progress on the sport . Even if we get wet, she can accompany us from morning to night. A bigger screen would have helped to establish itself as a gadget that would make us crack every time. But personally, I’m already seduced. If you want to get it, it’s by HERE that it happens.
