Huawei P9 PlusThe Huawei P9 Plus certainly offers a lot. It's thin, has a great battery, plus a nice 5.5 inch display.

Our smartphones are versatile tools, giving us the ability to take photos, record videos, consume media, play games, and browse the web. But the core functionality has always revolved around, you know… phone calls.

Despite it offering plenty of health tracking features, including SpO2, it doesn't do that great of a job tracking your data. Limited app support is also a problem, as is the pretty high price. That all being said, people who want a good all-around watch that nails the basics will find a lot to love here, and Wear OS fans shouldn't ignore this at all.
