The Huawei Watch Buds are two products in one, with the smartwatch hiding a pair of truewirelessearbuds. I've worn them both, but couldn't live with them.

Huawei Watch Buds MSRP $540.00 Score Details “The Huawei Watch Buds do potentially solve a common problem, but a crucial missing feature and sky high price means there are other better and cheaper alternatives.

Let’s talk about the way it opens, as it’s the best thing about the design. Press the button at the 6 o’clock position, and the entire top of the watch pops up — revealing two, tiny earbuds magnetically attached to the underside. It’s really neat, and there is something cool and fun about the Watch Buds. The earbuds are securely held in place with magnets, and it’s easy to take them out and put them back in. It is just like having a true wireless headphone case attached to your wrist.

Huawei Watch Buds: earbuds design If you’re going to store a pair of earbuds inside a smartwatch, they need to be small, and the Watch Buds really succeed here. They’re tiny, just 21mm long and 10mm across, and weigh only 4 grams each. They haven’t got a flashy design or any long stems. They’re like tiny bullets you stuff in your ears. Despite the underside of the watch’s dial showing an L and R position, the Watch Buds don’t have a strict left or right earbud.

Huawei Watch Buds: connection Connecting the Huawei Watch Buds to your phone can be a bit of a pain. Like all recent Huawei smartwatches, if you have a Huawei phone, the connection is seamless and no problem at all. If you have an iPhone, it’s surprisingly easy too. But if you have a non-Huawei Android phone, it can be a pain.

Huawei Watch Buds: audio quality The most important thing to know is — at the time of writing — you can only connect the Huawei Watch Buds earbuds to your phone. There is no option to connect the earbuds to your computer, tablet, or another device. It is entirely linked to the phone the smartwatch has been paired with. In the documentation provided with the Watch Buds to reviewers, it states this feature will be enabled in a future software update, but there is no time scale provided.

Huawei Watch Buds: smartwatch features The earbuds are only part of the package. The Huawei Watch Buds smartwatch has a 1.43-inch screen and Huawei’s TruSeen 5.0+ sensor on the back to keep track of your heart rate and blood oxygen levels. All data is stored and viewed in the Huawei Health app. The HarmonyOS operating system is the same as that on the Watch GT 3 Pro, and I go into detail about what it’s like to use in that review.

Why is it like this? It’s another frustration you discover during the early stages, and they don’t make the watch very appealing. The awkward setup process doesn’t make the Huawei Watch Buds feel very user-friendly, and the odd default settings don’t help, while the activity tracking system can’t match the ones from Apple or Samsung either.

It’s important to understand your own requirements before buying the Huawei Watch Buds, as some may find the longer battery life from a separate smartwatch and earbud package makes more sense.
