When will Speaker be activated? !

[nano303]

When will the new 1.4 update drop on our Huawei watch? This is getting old. How long does it take? seriously I want the speaker to already be functional. Hate asking the watch something only for it to just show me not speak it to me like a "SMART WATCH" SHOULD!.

All indications are pointing towards March/April at the latest.

I agree. The speaker in this watch, made this watch the only option for me, when looking for my first smartwatch. ( i wanted round) I hope it don't sound crappy.

I've went as far as registering for huawei's own community forums and as well and everyday tweeting to @huaweiDeviceUSA to get any kind of update. As of now there have been no responses but I encourage others to try as well. Ever since the one guy leaked the update it's been talked about a lot and of course with the 2 newer higher end watches being making their debut as CES already with this functionality built in it seems it must be close. I'd rather have a timeline of "sometime in X-month" then just flat out not knowing. But we all know that won't happen...

When it is released, it is released.
If it takes 2 or 3 more months ..... ok
If Android Wear is never updated again, oh well.

I can do nothing and do not care much.

I received a DM on Twitter from @huaweiDeviceUSA when i asked them about the update. The reply was the following

"Hello Michael, the update that activates the speaker on the Huawei watch is slowing being releases to customers. Please be patient with us as this update is disbursed. (Al)"

I did reply saying no one has reported receiving the update and asked if there is a timeline when the roll out should be complete. We'll see if there is a response

By "Slowly" do they mean one watch a day [emoji1]

funny....that was my thought. I wish they would roll at full force by mid-feb or within 2 weeks or something. Not an exact date but at least a certain time frame instead of such an answer that will only spark a more loaded question

I suppose it makes sense for them to trickle the update rather than flood the consumer base with it in case something happens but I would expect it to go live before the Jewel and elegance models drop.

yea that was my thought too. I just don't know when they are supposed to drop.

According to them yes. But IMHO, that's BS and they havent done anything yet. I'm pretty sure that response is just a way to make you feel at ease while not telling you anything at all

Hope soon!

This is such a wanted feature. It is the 1 thing that I actually dislike about the Android Wear watches to the point where it is annoying.

Using a watch creates a distance. I leave my phone on the charger or laying around while I run around the house. Getting a call now involves me running to grab my phone. Or what I have had to do was just keep my phone on me, which defeats the purpose. Also in the summer, when I am in the pool, drinking beer on my float, if a work call comes in, it is a mad dash to flip off the float, run out of the pool, dry hands, grab phone, answer.

I agree, but you shouldnt go into the pool with your huawei watch...

Screw that! I swam with my LG G Watch all summer. I don't purposely submerge it but it can take some water. My pool is 4ft and I mostly lounge/float. But the Watch is good for 3feet for 30min. It will probably last longer and able to go deeper, but that is a safe zone. I do sometimes take it off and leave it poolside so I don't get tan lines.

Your lg watch hasjust a tiny little hole for the mic. Your huawei watch has 2 relatively big wholes for spekaer and mic. Good Luck with that buddy.
