Huawei Watch 2 Installation guide
1:Is my HUAWEI WATCH 2 compatible with an iPhone or other iOS
device?
Yes. Your HUAWEI WATCH 2 can be used with iOS devices (iOS 9 or later). You can
download the iOS version of the Android Wear app from the App Store and pair your
watch with the device. However, not all of the watch's functions will be available on iOS.

third-party apps from the Google Play Store on the watch.
However, certain functions are not supported. For example, fitness data on the watch
cannot be synced to the phone, mobile payments are not supported, and the watch
cannot be used to answer calls made to your phone.
2: What is the difference between the Android Wear, Huawei Wear, and
Health apps?
Android users can download the Huawei Wear and Huawei Health apps in the Google
Play Store to make better use of the watch.
Android Wear is used to pair your phone and watch, provide Google-specific features,
watch configuration options, and other features.
With Huawei Wear, you can manage your device, sync health data between your phone
and watch and is used to activate the eSIM card (eSIM versions only) as well as view the
step count and calories burnt. It is indispensable in using Huawei Health app. Not
available for iOS.
Huawei Health is used to create personalized training plans, display fitness and health
data in detail. Not available for iOS.

You can download the Huawei Wear app on your iOS device, but currently you cannot
use this app to manage your watch.
Huawei Health is not supported on iOS devices.
3:Is there anything I should bear in mind when pairing my HUAWEI
WATCH 2 with my phone?
Your HUAWEI WATCH 2 is paired with your phone through the Android Wear app. The
pairing process could take some time. Please follow the onscreen instructions and wait
patiently.

other operations on your phone when pairing your watch through the Android Wear app.
When the message Touch "Done" on your phone appears on the watch, touch “Done” on
the phone to complete the pairing process.
