The Apple Watch Ultra can't beat this cheaper rival in one way
One feature that I’ve been particularly impressed with is its Expedition Mode, an all-purpose mode for hiking, trails, orienteering, and other outdoor pursuits.
Once you press that and start an expedition, the mode is comprised of four screens. Your home screen shows you the following:The distance to your closest waypointScrolling down, the second screen shows how long you’ve travelled, your current heart rate, and the current altitude at your position.
On my initial testing, using it to track back to the waypoints I set for myself, I was impressed with its ease of use. Initially, I queried why you wouldn’t opt for full-color maps the way theHowever, my fears were unfounded: once you hit a waypoint and swipe over to the compass screen, the compass tells you not only how far you are away from the waypoint and whether you’re headed in the right direction, but it’ll even serve you onscreen prompts, telling you to turn left or right.
In contrast, as long as you remember to drop regular waypoints in Huawei’s Expedition mode, you’re free to explore as much as possible - while never really losing your bearings. You also don’t have to keep walking around staring at your watch like you'd have to do if you were following a route or using a GPX file. A few quick glances at Expedition Mode offer exactly enough information to understand where you are in relation to the last waypoint you dropped.
