HUAWEI WATCH BUDS (SAGAB19T, SGA-B19) Review: Earbuds & Watch in One?

The HUAWEI WATCH BUDS (SAGAB19T, SGA-B19) presents a compelling proposition: a smartwatch seamlessly integrated with a pair of wireless earbuds. This innovative design eliminates the need to carry separate devices, promising convenience and a streamlined fitness experience. But does it deliver on this promise? After weeks of extensive testing, I’m ready to share my insights.

The HUAWEI WATCH BUDS boasts a rich array of features, leveraging the strengths of both a smartwatch and earbuds. The pre-installed watch faces are visually appealing, and the ability to customize them (for Android and iOS 12.0 users) adds a personal touch. The inclusion of moon phases, sunrise/sunset times, and weather forecasts demonstrates a commitment to comprehensive information delivery. Fitness tracking capabilities are extensive, providing detailed workout data, including VO2 max and recovery time. The “Find Phone,” “Find Watch,” and “Find Earbuds” features proved surprisingly useful in my daily routine. However, compatibility limitations (EMUI 11.0 or later for some features) should be noted.

In terms of performance, the smartwatch functions flawlessly. The touchscreen is responsive, and navigation is intuitive. The earbuds offer decent sound quality, although they’re not on par with high-end standalone earbuds. Battery life is respectable, easily lasting a full day on a single charge. The fitness tracking is accurate, and the data presented is easy to understand and interpret. I found the heart rate monitor to be consistently reliable during both low-intensity and high-intensity activities.

However, I did encounter some minor issues. The noise cancellation on the earbuds could be improved, particularly in noisy environments. The water resistance, while adequate for everyday use, might not be sufficient for intense water sports.

Pros:

  • Innovative 2-in-1 design
  • Comprehensive fitness tracking
  • Customizable watch faces
  • Useful additional apps (weather, timer, etc.)
  • Decent battery life

Cons:

  • Limited compatibility for some features
  • Earbud noise cancellation could be better
  • Average sound quality from the earbuds
  • Water resistance limitations
  • Overall, the HUAWEI WATCH BUDS (SAGAB19T, SGA-B19) is a fascinating device. The innovative combination of smartwatch and earbuds offers undeniable convenience. While it’s not perfect, and some features could be improved, its strengths outweigh its weaknesses. If you’re looking for a versatile wearable that blends fitness tracking with convenient communication, this is a strong contender. I would recommend this device for users who appreciate convenience and an all-in-one solution, but who don’t necessarily require top-of-the-line audio quality.
