Huawei announced the Watch GT last October alongside the Mate 20 series. It launched in India in March this year and got two new variants in the same month. Eight months after its launch, Huawei says it has shipped 2 million units of the smartwatch.
The announcement was made on the official Huawei Mobile Twitter account yesterday. The Watch GT has a 1.39-inch OLED display, runs Huawei’s own LiteOS, has a Cortex-M4 processor, GPS, heart rate sensor, and lasts up to two weeks (30 days with heart rate and GPS turned off).

Huawei has done well as an IDC report says it is market share grew the largest in Q1 2019. However, Apple is still the global market leader.
We probably won’t get a successor to the Watch GT until later this year when Huawei announces the Mate 30 series. The successor should have a new design as well as new fitness-tracking and health-oriented features.
