After teasing new products a month ago, Huawei announced that it will launch Amazfit GTR 2 and GTS 2 on September 22. Before the launch tomorrow, let’s look at all the features that are coming with the two smartwatches.
Amazfit GTR 2 and GTS 2 will be direct successors of the earlier launched GTR and GTS. Last year, both the GTR and GTS launched with AMOLED display and similar sensors. That is likely to continue this year as well. However, they are likely to differ in a few other specifications like battery and prices.
Amazfit GTR 2 and GTS 2 Design
Design-wise, both the GTR 2 and GTS 2 will follow their predecessors’ style. The GTR 2 will have a round dial while the GTS 2 will follow the sort of a squircle design. Both the smartwatches will have a premium build with metal casing and retain the AMOLED displays with slight curves towards the edges. The GTS 2, however, has a revamped side where the crown protrudes from the inside on the right. So far, only the black strap is visible in teasers but we can expect more on Tuesday.
Specifications and Features
Anyways, the main highlight of the GTR 2 and GTS 2 will be the blood-oxygen monitoring solution. In fact, Huami’s CEO confirmed this in a post on Weibo and also teased that the devices will have better blood-oxygen and sleep monitoring than rivals like Apple. To recall, the company launched the OxygenBeats engine back in June which eliminates signal noise and improves accuracy by around 50%.

Teasers also show that the watches will use a cluster of LEDs(Green, Red, Infrared) like the Apple Watch Series 6 for accurate measurements. Further, we can expect other sensors like ambient light, Biotracking, air pressure, geomagnetic sensors from predecessors.
Apart from these, Huami has confirmed standalone music playback and said that smartwatches will come with NetEase Cloud music, improved health and fitness features by partnering with Prudential, and an integrated Xiao AI assistant that works online and offline. Huami, through a video, showed that the Xiao AI will work seamlessly and better than Apple’s Siri.
Amazfit GTR 2 and GTS 2: Expected Price
We can expect other features like Wi-Fi, bigger battery, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, GPS, GLONASS, water-resistance, and more. As for the price, Huami is known for aggressive pricing and hence, we can expect both the smartwatches to slot somewhere between the $100-150 segment. Let’s wait until Tuesday to confirm the same.
