Coming soon: what navigation app should I consider in Thailand?

We are writing a short review on some of the most popular navigation apps used in Thailand. We will consider Garmin Thailand, TomTom, Sygic, Waze, Navmii. We will also relate to Google Maps.

If you have any suggestion, please let us know, so we can include the information in the next article (comment below or send us an e-mail).

At the current stage of testing, I can say that Garmin is still my number one choice for GPS navigation in Thailand. I’m not sure if it is because I’ve been using Garmin devices for years, or is that because it is still the best available navigation app for Thailand (I will try not to be biased). Some of the apps are performing pretty well in Bangkok, but when it comes to rural areas or smaller cities, Garmin provides better results. Garmin also does a better job calculating the best, fastest route to a destination. Sygic and TomTom tend to take me way around for some reason.

Stay tuned. We will be back shortly with some more details.

Huawei Watch 2 Review

Review on GPS Smartwatch – Huawei Watch 2

GPS Smartwatch – Huawei Watch 2

The Huawei Watch 2 (link to Huawei Watch 2 on Amazon) promises to stand out and make a difference to the wide range of fitness-focused smartwatches on the market in 2017. Our Huawei Watch 2 review aims to show you what to expect from the second generation smartwatch designed and manufactured by Huawei.

The gadget has been announced by Huawei on Sunday, 26 February 2017. While the first generation of the Huawei smartwatch was targeted to the fashion conscious, the second generation focuses more on fitness and exercise.

Design

When it comes to design, the Huawei Watch 2’s Sports variant is distancing from the fashion-focused original Huawei Watch. That doesn’t mean that the Huawei Watch 2 is not an attractive wearable gadget. However, the product features a generic sporty smartwatch design instead of the traditional watch’s silver stainless steel body. The Huawei Watch 2 comes with a double chrome design and a plastic body.

The circular display is fairly large at 1.2-inch. With a height of 12.6 mm and only one case sized 45 mm available, it may look a bit awkward and bulky on smaller wrists. At 57 g, the Huawei Watch 2 is quite heavy compared to the second-generation Apple Watch that comes at 45 g.

According to Huawei, the ceramic bezel used on its second generation smartwatch is six times harder than stainless steel. While still being relatively lightweight, the ceramic bezel ensures that the sporty gadget is resistant to abrasion. The mirror-finish bezel is also quite resistant to scratches.

The Huawei Watch 2 provides a comfortable fit around the wrist, as its lugs are lower than other smartwatch models on the market. This also provides better stability during heart rate monitoring.
