Not fish, not meat - that was the conclusion of some testers on the Nubia alpha, which presented Nubia as a smartphone on the wrist. The successor Nubia Watch, on the other hand, clearly carries the species in its name. Optically it stands out clearly among many current Smartwatches. But Nubia does not get enough out of advantages like GPS and heart rate sensor and the phone interface did not pass the test.

This is a descent (looking) 2nd version for the curved smartwatch. It suffers from an older processor & not using Wear OS - probably to keep pricing low. $250 for device (includes options + shipping) isn't so bad though.
I had an old Galaxy Gear S until the little charger tabs broke & rigging it each night to recharge became a silly affair. And it was too old for current Wear OS UI.
Right now, the Nubia Watch can only be ordered via Kickstarter & AliExpress(?). Still a tech startup effort. Orders have started shipping but there have been early delays.
I have the watch for a week now and i can say even though the watch is using old gen CPU, it doesn't fail to provide smooth interface and no lags.
Its hitting the online local market slowly, for some countries it can be only purchased through online platforms, Aliexpress, eBay, mall.nubia, etc.
