Booting into Fastboot mode is different on the Huawei Watch than with the Moto 360 or the LG G Watch. For the Huawei Watch, perform the following steps:

1) Hold down the power button.
2) The screen will go black for about 2 seconds and then boot into the Huwaei logo. Keep holding down the power button.
3) Wait for the first vibration, release the power button and then immediately give the power button one short press.

If you feel the second vibration, you waited to long to do the release and press. Start over.

Hope this helps others. This took me way too long to figure out on my own.

To be more exact, in Step 3) you should release button right AFTER the first vibration, not as soon as the vibration starts.

Thank you so much for this. I was having palpitations after getting stuck in a bootloop with no response from the command line. You're a star!! :good:

Thanks for this tip. Now I got to the fastboot menu. Now how do I flash a working image in to the watch? I have the Huawei image from Googles download page, but adb doesn't recognize the device.

Hey if your on fastboot adb no longer works unless you are sideloading. The new command is fastboot....like "fastboot flash system.img" Got it?

I have the same issue

Got a Huawei W2 watch but the screen was locked (pattern), I already tried fastboot and then Reboot-recovery but it just goes back to main pattern screen and does not give me the option to factory reset... Please help!!
