They have made this masterpiece exclusively for those health concerned people who want their health to be on track. Huawei’s first two smartwatches operating system was Android but after getting away from Google’s Android, this time they have installed Huawei’s own LiteOS on it.

Pros and Cons:
No company will give you all the features in one device. This device isn’t perfect either. Let me tell you the pros and cons of it.
Pros:
+ Minimalist design.
+ Amazing battery backup.
