I’m lead to believe that the watch does include NFC payment capabilities but my model includes an application called AliPay, which I’m lead to believe simply doesn’t work outside of China.
That on paper sounds absolutely horrid but we’ll delve into performance a little later on. Honor Watch Magic watch facesLet’s talk internal specifications for a moment then, the Honor Watch Magic comes with that 390 by 390 pixel 1.2-inch AMOLED display, 128MB of internal storage and just 16MB of RAM, which is all powered by a 178mAh battery. Being able to take this watch swimming without fear of it being damaged or destroyed will be a major selling point in my opinion.
With a much tighter package, the 5ATM water-resistance means that this pretty lightweight watch is most definitely not a delicate device. I have tried a ton of smartwatches and I genuinely think it’s between this and the Ticwatch C2 for the comfort crown. The strap helps but the smaller, slimmer watch face at 9.8mm thick feels exceptional when worn - or at least it has in my wearing period. The black matte black casing helps give you the impression that this is a much smaller watch too. I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the color scheme on my red and black model but it isn’t unattractive by any means. I love the silicone-rubber strap, it’s comfortable and easy to fit with plenty of holes to resize to even the smallest of wrists. Removing the fake non-turning dial would result in a sleeker looking smartwatch - maybe we’ll get that option on a future model. I still don’t get the faux chronometer addition. Hardware and design honor watch magicA large crown just gets in the way, although inversely if you want a lot of information crammed into a tiny 1.2-inch AMOLED display, then a bigger watch face might be your personal preference. The crown is much smaller at 43mm and therefore so is the display, which is one of the few major alterations that help make this a much better overall looking watch in my opinion. It’s for that reason that the design feels way more refined, meaning it will suit a much wider array of end users. I lamented the large size of the Huawei Watch GT and the Honor Magic has shrunk down almost all areas for a much more compact size and shape. Without Wear OS this is still a solid smartwatch that manages to actually be genuinely useful.ĭesign & HardwareSo firstly, while the Honor Magic shares much of the same internals as the Huawei Watch GT, the outer shell really does differ quite exponentially. Even saying that I think the Honor Magic is actually a better option thanks to a combination of other factors. Having used the Watch GT and now the Honor Magic smartwatch a heck of a lot more, I now better understand why Huawei opted for a cut-down experience but didn’t scrimp in certain areas. I sort of wrongly made the assumption that it wasn’t a worthwhile smartwatch due to the choppy performance and lack of real smartwatch features this is unless sports and fitness were a core proponent of your day-to-day life. That means it includes a somewhat stripped down experience to help increase battery life, but does stripping it back to basics make for a solid experience?įirst up, I need to apologize for what was a misinterpretation of what the original Huawei Watch GT really aimed to do and who it was aimed directly at. The Honor Watch Magic smartwatch is essentially a rebrand of the Huawei Watch GT and at a slightly lower price point.
