Glancing in the street

It’s new and in need of some polish, but the signs for the smartwatch version of Harmonyos are promising

Ziggy

The Harmonyos wearable system includes smooth and slick transitions relayed at a much higher refresh rate than Huawei’s older watches, and an app screen that looks like it’s been lifted straight from an Apple Watch.

Two of the most useful apps in the Appgallery are Fitify and Home Workout by Leap Fitness. These offer step-by-step workouts when paired with their matching apps on your phone… but not the Play Store versions.

Stardust

It’s more fun to use than a Wearos watch, and for a first stab at a smartwatch interface it’s pretty great. The rotating crown is good too, letting you scroll down menus and zoom in and out of the app page without touching the screen.

Mars

It’s tempting to use the OS’S low-maintenance mode to increase battery life, but then you’ll end up wondering why you bought this watch when Huawei makes bands that do the same stuff for around £100.
