I've found another issue with the Huawei Watch . For some reason, Google Now reminders are not vibrating on the watch. From what I can tell, it looks like this has been a problem with some the more recently releases of Android Wear. According to some reports, it may be that Google has actually removed vibrating reminders as a feature. 

There is a Reminders app on the watch, and every time I tape it, I get a message that says "To use Reminders sign in to the Google app on your phone." There is an Open On Phone button, and every time I tap it I get a message on the phone that says "Unfortunately Android Wear has stopped." 

I've installed an app called Feel The Wear that fixes this notification issue and has the added benefit of providing more control over notifications. For example, you can configure text message notifications to be two short buzzes while Google app notifications (Reminders) can be one long buzz.
