Just got Huawei W1 watch, which app to control watch from phone?

[AC Question]

Hi, i have just got this watch, not really used it yet, i noticed you can download the huawei app on your phone which seems to get really rubbish reviews, so i was wondering do most of you use that appor does the google wear app do the same thing for like all android watches, is that a generic app by google and is it better, or is that for something totally different?

any other tips or advice would be welcome, i have a samsung s6 running android 5.1.1.

regards

James

The Android Wear app is necessary for handling all the interaction between the watch and phone. it looks like the Huawei app is just for collecting and presenting some of your fitness data. If you don't like the Huawei one, don't use it. By design as an OS, Android Wear allows any fitness app that you choose to observe and report on your fitness data. So find one you like and stick with it, Google's own Fit is a good place to start.
