Hello everyone. I just received reply from support team and this is exactly what they wrote. Don't know why I am not buying it [emoji848] could it be really the case?

Hello David,

Thank you for contacting Huawei Device USA. We would love to assist you with this inquiry, and we do apologize for the delayed response. As of right now, the update has already been sent out OTA. It is being sent in batches, so it may be a while before you receive the update itself. Keep updated on the watch for when you receive the update.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to call us at 1 (888) 548-2934 and we will try our best to help you with this issue.

Thank You,

Alicia A.

Huawei Support Team.

Repeatedly taps check for update button.....

Nothing yet.....
[Huawei Watch] mohsinraza:
I'm not buying it either. There has been NO article or news on any tech site. No reddit/twitter post. No one on XDA. I've a US version of Huawei Watch and not international (bought it intentionally), so I'll keep you all posted if I get the update notification though I highly doubt it.

No need to go and check again and again. The watch notifies itself if there's an update ready to be installed.

There was a certain level of sarcasm implied in my post......
[Huawei Watch] NeedleGames:
This reply contradicts what UK Support said. They said to me that they haven't planned on when they will release the update
[Huawei Watch] NeedleGames:
After installing DP5 I can say this: Now I understand why Huawei doesn't release the update.

The whole OS is half-baked. It's meant to be optimized for round watches, right? But it's not. Only the app drawer is. All the other google apps are still cut off or text is only in the middle - not form one side to another.

Apps refuse to download very often, Google Play crashed 12 times in the last hour. And in that time it used 52% of my battery. IN ONE HOUR!

The Google Play store is very limited, most apps are not fully compatible with 2.0 - watch faces do not use complications, Spotify doesn't let you listen on your device. Or listen to music at all - they still haven't fixed "Connection failed" problem.

All the apps that had pitch black background, you know, optimized for wearables, now have light gray background.

Now some apps' data doesn't sync with your phone. These are the apps that does not sync for me: all the "appfour" apps (Browser, photos, videos etc.), calculator (it's color), facer (all the watch faces). Apps that sync: Google Keep. Only 1 app does sync.

After first installing, I had to wait for half an hour on "Checking for updates" screen. Then I realized something was odd, so I googled this problem. Hundreds of other people who have installed this update were stuck on that screen, some even tried reflashing and it didn't help. BTW, if you are wondering, the solution is to clear cache and data on your Android Wear app on the phone.

Google Assistant doesn't talk back, it only has one language - English, and there is no way of disabling it.

Keyboard only works on Google apps - you still can't reply to facebook messages on your watch.

And don't get me started on gestures - swiping left previously used to open more information about the notification - now it dismisses it... Swiping right dismisses it as well... Notifications do not peak out from the bottom even if you set it to be fullscreen (you have 3 options - fullscreen notifications (doesn't work), no notifications or remove notifications after 5 second. So no cards preview). On the watchface swiping left would open app drawer - now it opens watch faces list so you could change it... No, not long pressing on it. Long press now means watch face settings (if the watchface has it). Swiping right on the watchface also opens watch faces list. Cooooooolll... This is what we all wanted... Holding power button opens drawer now. Seems a bit worse but what's the big deal you ask? Holding half a second too long opens Google assistant that you can not disable. Do you remember theater mode with two button presses? Now it's app drawer. Again.

I predict that to fix all these thing would take 6 more months unless you want this garbage OS.

Weird that experiences differs so much. My HW works flawlessly and is so much easier to use than 1.5. Battery life it's good too, approx two days. Go figure.

[Huawei Watch] NeedleGames:
Well, it shouldn't be different. Let's add that to the list of problems
[Huawei Watch] skunkle88:
It's always going to be different. There are so many factors that can effect the performance of the watch. Did you factory reset or not, are you reporting on battery life right after flashing or several days later, your settings vs. my settings, what apps I have installed vs. your apps installed, what device is your watch connected to, etc etc... So many variables and you guys expect the exact same results. If you've been around development at all or read a couple XDA threads you will soon see varying results is a constant.

As for the update, I would expect it a couple weeks after the release of the Huawei 2nd gen. We may not like it but it's become quite apparent these companies are holding out to sell their new watches. Most consumers aren't watching and waiting for the update, we are the minority. Companies know this and hold updates so they can sell their new devices. This is my personal opinion on the matter but I think I'm pretty close to the mark.
[Huawei Watch] DrHRH:
What you've written here is a beautiful example of a first-world problem, blown massively out of proportion.
[Huawei Watch] engwee:
I have yet to see AW 2.0 but knowing android I'm not gonna be surprised if I'll encounter those issues. He did bring up valid points to be concerned off, from what I was reading around here people were generally happy. I guess I'll have to be the judge of that once the update comes to my watch, still looking forward to it.
[Huawei Watch] NeedleGames:
Yet I live in a 3rd world country and these are the biggest problems I faced this year
[Huawei Watch] blinde:
That swiping left or right on homescreen is really stupid as it changes watchface. What the hell were they thinking? Long press would work like it did before.

I just saw this poem on Reddit and thought of sharing it. Can I post Reddit links here? Anyway,

"Wear 2.0: a poem

By [MENTION=6168915]CyanJDroid[/MENTION] on his G Watch R

I constructed this poem whilst awaiting the anticipated 2.0 update that never seems to come, enjoy.

Every day whence I asunder

myself from my slumber

And fumble my way o'er yonder

to my desk, I pause and ponder

Perhaps today will be much fonder

is what my lips do dare to render

For what I speak of may make you dander

an update from ol' googs yonder

and thus I wander

o'er yonder

and retrieve the device that is much rounder

only to whence again, become somber

for an update it doth not conjure"
[Huawei Watch] engwee:
My curiosity got the best of me and I installed the preview. Not gonna comment on anything but ask why on earth swiping from the sides change the watch face.. That just doesn't make any sense to me and it's really annoying.
[Huawei Watch] BigwhiteUK:
I agree. Better use could be made of those gestures, such as a quick link to play store or contacts. Better still have them so the user can aply what ever gesture they want.
[Huawei Watch] Rootuser3.0:
What did you install the China preview? That's all seen on the development website
[Huawei Watch] engwee:
This is what I downloaded

https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html

There's no mention of China preview or anything.

Edit: I see now at the bottom of the page, but that's not what I downloaded. Are you saying that you have a different function when you swipe from the sides?
[Huawei Watch] frelnik:
What you describe is the intended behaviour of AW 2.0, for better or worse. I guess the intent is to allow people to configure different watch faces (each with different sets of complications) for various environments, such as work and home, and then allow us to switch between them at will. Can't say it's something I would use much, but that's what Google seems to be thinking.
[Huawei Watch] Rootuser3.0:
No I just can't find the non-china preview anywhere can someone upload a image please

This is really annoying and thats reason I am back to 1.5. also click on button brings app drawer which also i dont like. :(
[Huawei Watch] VS88:
Well, swiping both sides on watchface is the one thing that is not bad in 2.0. On 1.5 I have problems getting my finger still so that watch recognizes I am long pressing it. Long press is bad.

But apart from speed and integrity, 2.0 is just on the beginning of another round of "polishing". Whether intended or not, thats the fact. Ironically, there were some better solutions in previous DPs than in the final release (circular settings, power button as a back...)
[Huawei Watch] checkmate7673:
iOS speaker

I have googled every phrase I can think of and all I see are articles that guess how 2.0 will work.

The speaker on this watch sounds great but with iOS I don't have much I can use it for. I want to answer calls with it. Can someone with DP5 tell me if you can use the watch to answer calls?
[Huawei Watch] jrock79:
Nah. You can only reject calls. I'm running DP5 connected to a 7+.
[Huawei Watch] Gadgetguy2005:
Hello all, I am getting now decent battery life with dp5 - however my watch is not ringing (vibrating) any more when I get incoming calls.

I did a factory reset - still no ringing (or notification whatsoever)

I am getting other notifications (text messages etc.)

Any ideas what could cause this?
[Huawei Watch] skunkle88:
Go to: setting - connectivity - Bluetooth - and turn on "play phone audio on watch" BAM, no you can answer calls!

I'm not on DP5, so no play store on the watch. Although there was a random play update downloaded to my phone earlier that was the same size........ Maybe some is afoot
[Huawei Watch] Johan1976:
Ok. Tried 2.0 DP5 for several days. After 15-16 hours I down to 10-20% battery life. With 1.5 I usually had between 40-50%. Today I changed setting so moving wrist doesn't activate watch. Still always on display. After 15 hours I had 40% battery left. Seems to be something weird going on. Either its poorly implemented or its more sensitive so watch activates more often on 2.0.

Anyway I flashed 1.5 again just to check battery life once again on 1.5.

I guess I can live with my watch doesn't activate on wrist movement since screen is always on but still strange this function uses 20-25% of the battery during a day.

[Huawei Watch] derausgewanderte:
just so you are aware that this was reported by several others as well (including myself). I typically end with ~50% on a day that starts at 6am and ends at 11pm with "tilt-to-wake" turned off.

hope they got this fixed with the final.

I have the preview for about a week now, I installed a few watch faces and I use the "minimal & elegant" one, the one that has lots of downloadable faces, I don't really do anything on my watch, in fact today I switched it to airplane mode mid-day. Took it off charger from 11am and at 5pm I had 18% battery left. Battery dropped to such a low value yesterday too. I also turned off Wifi today..
[Huawei Watch] Mtotallywired:
I thought I was on DP5, but I guess I've been on DP4. it's the sturgeon-nvf41u img that I loaded. any big differences between the two? Currently I am getting almost 3 days consistently on my watch. I do not use wifi ever, just bluetooth to connect to my phone. I use Watchmaker pro for my faces, and have a fairly dark, but still full color pretty high res photo for a face. Complications are weather temp, city/location, current conditions, watch battery %, digital time, date with push to update. I have it set also so I can answer calls from the watch and AOD is off, with brightness set to 3. Experience has been very smooth and I've basically never used 1.5 as I loaded this preview as soon I got the watch, which was second hand as new from amazon. My usage is moderate, i do a bit of "ok google" commands, use it sometimes to respond to texts using voice when I'm on the go, check notifications all day, but mostly use it for checking time and weather. so yeah, hearing about your guys' battery woes on DP5 makes me leery about updating.

Just read that on my news stream. They make a point that is almost halfway through the month. So that's means that we should expect it at the end of this month. Probably first in the US and then internationally. Or maybe Germany first.?
[Huawei Watch] BadContext:
You'll probably see the update roll out toward the end of this month in Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Germany, and China where the Huawei Watch 2 has already been on sale. The rest of us, except for Malaysia, should see sales of the Huawei Watch 2 line beginning in April. My guess, and I hope I'm wrong, is that unless you're from one of the aforementioned countries that already have the Watch 2 available for purchase, you'll have to wait until mid to late April for the update.

Does the watch already have NFC waiting to be unlocked with AW 2.0 as claimed here?

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

And I'm sure the hardware is not included!
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
The speaker in our watch did not work at first, but was present, even though Huawei would not confirm. Later on it worked after a software update!

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...aker-inside-it-but-it-doesnt-do-anything-yet/

I searched for teardowns on the web, but none found. I called iFixit who it local to me and asked, but they have done no teardown on the watch.

https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown

Many phones have FM radios, but are not enabled, especially here in the USA. There are fixes to get them working posted here on XDA.

I would not bet against that NFC chip being there, just not active in the firmware (yet).
[Huawei Watch] skunkle88:
Wow, it claims it has an NFC radio but it's just dormant. I would really love to know their source on this bit of information!

Another article commenting on NFC:

https://www.google.com/amp/www.tech...-getting-android-wear-2-0-update-in-march.htm

Maybe getting the NFC radio functional with Android Pay is why it took longer than expected for the update - fingers crossed!
[Huawei Watch] undrwater:
I'm hoping there's a dormant compass...Though the nfc would be nice too.
[Huawei Watch] spatone:
Exactly why I have my hopes up. Huawei was non-committal about the speaker too until they got it to work. Remember they had made a cryptic reply to a speaker query. So keeping my fingers crossed.

NFC would make all this waiting worth it!
[Huawei Watch] Magic_Knight:
Even in the unlikely event of a "hidden" NFC chip being activated via firmware update it is sure our Watch doesn't have an NFC antenna so it would be like having an hidden FM Radio without an antenna :D
[Huawei Watch] skunkle88:
I'm skeptical about there being an NFC chip. However if there is, I would think there would be the other necessary components to utilize it. Otherwise why add a non functioning component that is just going to cost you more to manufacture? All we can do now is what we've been doing...Wait.
[Huawei Watch] Psycho Dave:
They added a speaker that was not activated at the release.
[Huawei Watch] BadContext:
Some of the Snapdragon 400 SoCs do indeed support NFC but would require additional hardware to function. I'm not an NFC expert but perhaps NFC can piggyback on Wi-Fi/Bluetooth hardware/antennae. As to whether or not our W1s have the appropriate 400, I do not know. Maybe we'll get lucky. You can see all the goodies various 400s support here: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/400
[Huawei Watch] TheSt33v:
The MSM8926, which is the Snapdragon 400 model that we have in the HW1, does support NFC. The InFocus M512 also sports this SoC, and it includes NFC. However, while it is supported, I don't think that it is integrated. So if the radio isn't there, NFC can't happen. And if there was a radio in there, I think one of those YouTube-disassemble-all-devices type people would have found it by now.
[Huawei Watch] :
Just contacted Huawei support Denmark by phone and the last official statement there was in their system was that the Android Wear 2.0 was under development and more info would follow.
