[Huawei Watch] pbaird:
I agree with this. I don't think they would expect enough people to go out and drop another $2-300 just because they got impatient to make it worthwhile. If that was the case, they wouldn't update the W1 at all, and try to force the behavior. Everything I'm seeing makes me think that up until yesterday it was Google's fault. Other watches that were delayed started getting updates yesterday, so now we are waiting for Huawei. Everybody keeps linking to blogs and twitter posts that are basing their information on each other (and repeating it for clicks) as if it is news. It's comical. One blog writer talked about the Huawei watch and copied and pasted generic information about Android 2.0 features, and now the whole tech community is abuzz with speculation about NFC getting enabled (ok, I hope I'm wrong and it's true). The update will come, and then a thread will start with everyone complaining about the changes. We are still getting the update on our watches WAY faster than most phones do. Samsung just started rolling out 7.0 to some of their phones yesterday!

So I don't think it's a big marketing conspiracy, I think Google f'd up the update. In all fairness I don't think we start the complaining clock on Huawei until yesterday. (But they better get their butts in gear)
[Huawei Watch] Viper87227:
For me, I care more about what the watch looks like than what's under the hood. It's main purpose for me is still to be a time piece, with the added bonus of being able to silence my phone at work and still keep an eye on whats happening throughout the day without pulling it out of my pocket. Other than that, fitness tracking and controlling things like music are about the only things I use it for, which I think any watch on the market is capable of.

The only other watch out there that is appealing to me is the Fossil Q, and that's purely from a visual standpoint. I don't know anything about it, no idea how the specs compare or if it does anything my HW doesn't. It's something I'd look into if my HW broke, but otherwise nothing about my current watch has me interested in what else it out there. I'm eager to get AW 2.0, but ultimately I don't think it'll change how I use my watch all that much, which makes the wait pretty much a non-issue for me. I'd much rather see all the bugs worked out.
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
Yeah, I rather have a bug free watch. Having a taste of 2.0 on my HW1 with DP 4/5 makes me a little more anxious. I like looks mostly as well, but I do use some of the other features for keeping healthy. LTE is a novelty, but is nice when you wanna walk or be in situations where an "wrist" phone is more convenient than a regular smartphone. I just want one device that does all of my health tracking AND be a good looking "watch".

I was going to post this but you did a couple of minutes ago.

This is an interesting development I must say. If this watch does have NFC, Huawei did a commendable job of making this watch future proof by putting both the speaker and NFC in it and enabling them with time. Let's wait and watch.

The whole NFC in NFC out fiasco appears to be a smoke screen to cover the fact that Hauwei can't or won't release 2.0 on time. All their replies say soon??:confused:
[Huawei Watch] lightweaponx:
Whatever happened to the guy on Twitter who was supposedly getting the update that failed at 15%?
[Huawei Watch] TheSt33v:
It's not a smoke screen. It's a bunch of "news outlets" who released a story without properly vetting their sources (or maybe they just made it up), and a bunch of proper news outlets finding out that they were wrong.
[Huawei Watch] xenixas:
- what watch do you have?

- the watch witch haven't got android wear 2.0 yet :D

this seems like we won't get any android 2.0 at leas couple months, bug is fixed all watch already got update and huawi not :) hear some news about NFC there is no NFC? source

at all I'm disapointed about this watch despite I have gear s2
[Huawei Watch] mohsinraza:
Couple of months? Naaah! I say the update is a week away. Worst case scenario: By the end of April. No later than this. Seeing how quickly the new wavea of updates are coming in and how news from Inside Huawei have shaped up, I reckon the update is right around the corner.

[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
That is the Android Wear app that is on the phone and the watch, I just got it too. If you have the DP 2.0 then you will have to manually update the watch version.

That is not the watch Android Wear OS that we are all waiting to receive.
[Huawei Watch] BigwhiteUK:
AW 2 will be worth the wait if DP 5 is anything to go by. On a side note, currently running AW 1.5, does anyone kow what com.huawei.dailytrack is? Can be found in battery usage in AW on phone. Hope it's only to do with huawei fit, though I don't use it. It has used 2% battery.

any new news?
[Huawei Watch] acultr:
Sorry! If I´m on prew 5 becomme the update also OTA or no?
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
No one knows yet since it has not happened. We have to wait and see.

I'm on DP5 and others have stayed on 1.5 so we will see who posts first that they receive it and then everyone can scramble to changing OS version if necessary to get the OTA. :D
[Huawei Watch] :
I don't think so, as Huawei have nothing to do with the DP. Also, you need to unlock bootloader to install DP and that disables OTA. So it would be weird if you could just re-enable and then receive OTA, but let's see.
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
The Developer Preview page cautions that an OTA may be received if you check it.

I have received many OTAs with an unlocked bootloader since version 1.3 just an FYI.

Even when I had a custom ROM, rooted, with unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery, the OTA would download but of course would not install because of the signature verification needed by the original recovery. All I had to do was fastboot flash the stock system and recovery and I could apply the OTA with the bootloader still unlocked.
[Huawei Watch] SomeGuyInOz:
I was wondering the same, although, as soon as someone posts a link to the update I know I am going to do it manually anyway ;)

We knew.
[Huawei Watch] untitledmangxg:
It was just a misleading gossip to turn off our attention from delaying AW2.0.... still waiting tough....
[Huawei Watch] Magic_Knight:
And I think we'll keep waiting for days or weeks...

If the NFC support might have justified the long delay now that Huawei has confirmed what we already knew and Google's bug has been fixed and almost all other competitors have released their updates there's no reason to delay the official release of AW 2.0 unless they are trying to sell more Watch 2 devices before updating the old models...

Well I think now is the time to dump your Huawei watch. Last year when LG broke down with 2.0, Huawei took the lead in fine tuning 2.0. Now it seems that they will be the last to release it.

[Huawei Watch] bormo:
Nope, google already started pushing the wear 2.0 again, the issue has been solved.

Other watches from different manufacturers got 2.0 already although they were not in the dev-preview programm.

The real reason is that Huawei want to sell their crappy watch2 which is a plastic-non-boombastic, ugly toy.
[Huawei Watch] cypressss:

[Huawei Watch] Soneliem:
I don't know what Huawei is doing. One moment they stall the update on the 'older' watch to better sell the newer "better" watch, and then suddenly the CEO criticises smartwatches, which is just stupid. Huawei is losing a lot of trust from a lot of people and they will continue to do so if they don't stop with this nonsense. I might as well void my warrenty now.
[Huawei Watch] xenixas:

[Huawei Watch] Rumbleweed:
Bought a tablet from another manufacturer several years ago. They did the same thing with Android updates then after only a year they said they would no longer support updates on the old tablet and if we wanted the new OS buy their latest tablet. I purchased 4 computers , thee tablets and 2 phones since then and never even looked at that manufacturer. Looks like Hauwei will be added to that list. Seems like manufacturers seem to quickly forget the cost to gain an new customer is significantly higher than the cost to keep an existing customer.
[Huawei Watch] cellgeek:
I'm dumping my Huawei - not nearly as functional as my Pebble Time Steel. Would be nice if Huawei released AW 2.0 so at least the platform was current.

Maybe it's time to go back to real watches. At least the battery life is better.... :)

Can't agree more! The latest development preview is pretty stable. I know the full release will be better.

If you are needing the AW2.0 functions that badly, I would say flash the latest preview.

The battery life alone is worth it.

Has anyone tried that custom android wear 2.0 ROM? In wonder is it's better than the preview.
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, ran it for a long time, debloated, rooted, works great, but only a little difference not huge. Mostly the root abilities to run Wear Shell is all.

Back on stock DP 5 now patiently waiting for OTA. :good:

Would you call it better or almost the same as dp5?

With your logic we would still be fine on Kitkat. Kitkat was everything that was needed in a phone.. Stable and good battery. Why did they need to upgrade? Why do we love updates? Cause we love gadgets and new features. We like technology. That is the reason we own a smartwatch in the first place.

The update have been prolonged for too long. The reason we want it so badly (and not DP5) is that it's stable, having better battery and adds a bunch on new features that makes the watch more useful. But of course we don't need it. We don't even need a smartwatch.. Or Nougat.. Or mobile payments.. But there is a reason we love it.

Are you on DP5? Because it's stable as hell for me and works perfectly as a daily. I think I've had maybe 3 random reboots in 6 months, if that, and zero app crashes. I end a full day over 65-70% battery with average use.
[Huawei Watch] Deeco7:
Agreed, was sceptical at first whether to flash it or not, but it's been rock solid for me for a week now.
[Huawei Watch] lightweaponx:
For me DP4/5 has worse battery life and I get a random reboot at least once a week so there is a lot to be said about stability. Just because it's stable for you doesn't mean it is for everyone else. Huawei's handling of this update has been very poor, bugs or no they could have been more transparent about what was going on. If they want smartwatches to continue to be a thing they need to step it up.
[Huawei Watch] Soneliem:
I'm not keen on flashing the dp because I don't want to void the warrenty. My dad spent a lot of money on it for my birthday. I made a promise not to tweak any software in it. He's still upset that I unlocked and rooted my moto e2. He had had about 4 Android phones in his life and most of them ended rooted.
