AC Question

Hi,

I am looking for smartwatches because I want one, but I am an Iphone user who doesn't want to buy an Iwatch because of high price and I don't like square watches, I prefer circular ones. I like Huawei Watch 2 pretty much, but I have some doubts I would like to clarify before buying it.

I know that integration with IOS has been improved very much with the arrival of Android Wear 2. I know that for use the watch with my Iphone I have to install the App Android Wear on my Iphone and pair it with the watch by bluetooth. Since then, I know (or I believe so) that I can receive and answer calls with the watch, receive alerts of new mail, whatsapp and facebook messages, and even answer them. I know I won't receive SMS messages (I don't know if even I don't receive notifications of new SMS), But there are some things that I don't know if are possible, and if so, how to do it.

First: Now, I am a Xiaomi Band 2 user, and with Mi Fit App, I have reports of my activity (walk, steps, sleep hours, hearbeats, etc). How can I have this historical and current data in my Iphone with the watch? Through Android Wear App? I make this question because for current data, it is ok, but it is unaffordable to llok the historical data and reports in the small screen of the watch.

Second. If I want to get indications in Google Maps for getting the watch to guide me (I can think about the car, for example, where I have no stable and visible place to leave the Iphone, so I can have it in my pocket and I can follow the indications of the watch, with vibrations as the Iwatch or with peak glances to my wrist), can I select the route in the Iphone and somehow send it to the watch or have I to search the route directly in the watch?

And third and last. If I want to install watchfaces different than the Android wear defaults, for example, faces from WatchMaker, It is enough to install the app in the watch or it is neccessary to install it on the Iphone? The IOS app is able to send faces to android watches? If not, if I have to install the app on the watch only, how do I send to the watch faces that I download from internet?

I really need help with this, because I have search for it and there is no information about it, only general things, without this kind of detail

Thanks
