HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2

By 2026, it has become difficult for any smartwatch to truly stand out. Nevertheless, the HUAWEI Watch series remains one that Gizmochina Review continues to anticipate. Among the entire lineup, the HUAWEI Watch GT Runner series would be selected within the team without hesitation as the most memorable sub-series. It distinguished itself among professional sports smartwatches from 2021 onward. Five years ago, we reviewed the first-generation GT Runner, which left a lasting impression—certain running-tracking features from that model still rank among the best tie on the market today. At MWC 2026, HUAWEI introduced the all-new HUAWEI Watch GT Runner 2, a device that demonstrates considerable potential to challenge Garmin’s dominance in this segment.

With a comprehensive range of Garmin products already available across various price points—such as the 165, 265, 570, and 970 series—dedicated running devices have evolved to offer extensive capabilities for professional training and tracking. However, after two months of testing the GT Runner 2, a clear sense of ambition emerges: by addressing the full spectrum of sports and health applications, the watch elevates industry-leading performance to new levels.

Brief Summary

The following are the truly cutting-edge features of the HUAWEI Watch GT Runner 2:

1. Ultra-precise positioning and tracking for not only running but also any outdoor sport that requires route tracking/guiding, including hiking and cycling.
2. A comprehensive set of customizable training plans, including a dedicated marathon mode designed to simulate long-distance running training.
3. Access to a professional running performance assessment system when paired with the HUAWEI Health app, enabling precise improvements to personal best (PB) times.
4. An excellent, ultra-lightweight design that supports the watch’s precise tracking capabilities and enhances the wearing experience.
5. Incorporation of the latest all-scenario health features from the HUAWEI Watch series.

The Most Accurate Positioning

Accurate positioning data is essential for properly assessing running performance. At present, the GT Runner 2 delivers the best results in this regard. Over an 8-kilometer run, virtually no noticeable error in distance or route tracking is observed. The watch supports dual-band all-satellite positioning, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS—ensuring coverage by the strongest available signal regardless of the user’s location. To ensure this powerful positioning system operates reliably and efficiently, the watch incorporates a new frame design. A sandwich structure is employed, wherein the metal mid-frame transfers energy to the top floating titanium bezel via the dielectric bezel, generating circularly polarized signals that align effectively with satellite signals.

Even when running or walking in an urban canyon surrounded by towering buildings and dense trees, performance remains impressive.

It can be stated with certainty that during a recent 40-kilometer run, no noticeable drift in positioning or tracking occurred. For specifics, the following record is provided: a total of 7.07 kilometers was run back and forth along a riverbank, with careful attention to maintaining a consistent route. The route recorded by the watch closely matched the actual path, and the individual distance consistently remained around 3.03 kilometers.

My preferred running location is a sports park featuring an irregular 545-meter track, part of which winds through a wooded area. The recorded route consistently demonstrated excellent consistency lap after lap. Distance accuracy was also tested at another sports park with a 3-kilometer track by a mountain. After completing one lap and walking for a few extra seconds at the end, the watch recorded a distance of 3.01 kilometers—the most accurate reading recorded to date. For nearly all runners, accurate route tracking facilitates better monitoring of pace, stride, and other important metrics during training.

Full Details for Run Tracking

This is also among the most valuable benefits derived from the GT Runner 2: greater training consistency and improved self-awareness. Previously, the relationship between running performance and physical condition was difficult to assess accurately. Now, by strictly adhering to the training plans provided by the GT Runner 2, it is possible to track physical performance metrics and identify specific exercises that contribute to improved running performance. For instance, upon reviewing the running balance record, the GT Runner 2 indicated a tendency to place more stress on the left leg. It subsequently recommended Bulgarian split squats and alternating lunge jumps. After regularly performing Bulgarian split squats, the most recent running log shows improvement in the imbalance issue, and anaerobic performance can be sustained for longer durations. Additional metrics such as vertical oscillation, ground contact time, cadence, and others can also be tracked.

For users seeking a rapid assessment of overall running ability, the GT Runner 2 now features an upgraded running assessment system. The system provides access to the Running Ability Index (RAI), Training Load, Training Index, Recovery, VO₂ Max, and Predicted Time.

Marathon Coach & Companion

For marathon runners, the newly introduced intelligent Marathon mode, co-created with DSM-Firmenich Running Team on the GT Runner 2 represents a significant advancement. Runners may choose either a marathon test or follow a race event training plan. The event assistant within HUAWEI Health effectively fulfills the role of a coach, assisting in setting achievable goals and preparing a smart training plan.

Once a specific marathon event is selected, the app generates a training plan based on the user’s goals and running capacity. The plan includes specific weekly sessions such as easy runs, core strength training, progressive tempo runs, lower-body strength training, and steady long runs. Detailed exercise guidance is provided for each session, and the watch automatically records progress. If the watch detects that your metrics are not matching the workout intensity, it will work with the HUAWEI Health app to suggest lowering the intensity, helping you adapt more effectively to the rest of the training plan.

For those committed to improving their personal best, the GT Runner 2 paired with the HUAWEI Health app currently represents an excellent choice—a professional, ongoing training plan is delivered without high additional cost. Especially for amateur runners like me, this smart mode arrives at the perfect time, playing a key role in preventing improper training and reducing the risk of injury.

Innovative Sports Tracking

In addition to enhanced running tracking, the GT Runner 2 effectively builds upon the innovative sports tracking features developed in previous HUAWEI Watch generations, particularly the GT and Ultimate models, including golf, cycling, and hiking. For golf, the watch and app come preloaded with maps of golf courses in most countries and cities worldwide. Courses can be searched, downloaded, and synced to the watch. For outdoor adventure, the watch offers extensive offline maps for most countries, many of which are available with contour lines.

Sufficient Battery Life

Battery life is also impressive given the watch’s focus on athletic performance. Connectivity is limited to Bluetooth, NFC, and specific health and fitness devices, which contributes to extended battery life during workouts. Under normal daily use, including 1.5 hours of exercise tracking per day, the watch lasts over a week on a single charge. The included charging dock additionally provides extremely fast charging.

Multi-platform software compatibility

Currently, the most compatible mobile operating systems are undoubtedly HarmonyOS and EMUI. Since the global version of the GT Runner 2 runs on EMUI, this ensures that its features are nearly perfectly transferred to other Android phones. The only thing to note is that, due to restrictions on background app management imposed by other phone brands, you’ll need to manually enable settings such as “Background Protection” and “Ignore Battery Optimization.” When used with iOS, a small number of features may be limited, but overall, it still delivers one of the best smartwatch experiences outside the Apple Watch ecosystem. If you can accept that trade-off, it offers even more comprehensive sports tracking than most smartwatches, including the Apple Watch series.

Hassle-Free Wearing

Finally, the wearing experience merits discussion. For a watch with such impressive performance, the weight is just 43 grams on the wrist (measured with the default strap)—clearly designed to be lightweight for running.

At the same time, the default AirDry Woven Strap is truly exceptional; it is the most skin-friendly strap encountered. The strap quickly wicks away moisture after a run or even a swim, keeping the wrist dry and cool. It offers greater comfort than any sports silicone strap previously used. The reviewer’s wrist skin is particularly sensitive to sweat, and rashes often resulted from straps with poor breathability. The GT Runner 2’s strap has completely resolved this issue.

Conclusion

Personally, it is unlikely that this watch will need replacement for several years (mainly for running and hiking). As a powerful, smart running companion, no notable shortcomings can be identified on the smartwatch. A different watch might be chosen for aesthetic reasons or to match my outfit. But in terms of battery life and location tracking, the GT Runner 2’s current performance is difficult to surpass.

Its pinpoint dual-band satellite positioning, comprehensive training ecosystem, and marathon-focused features make it a compelling alternative to all established pro-lineups. Battery life comfortably exceeds a week under regular training loads, and the lightweight, breathable design ensures all-day comfort even for runners with sensitive skin. While iOS users may encounter minor feature limitations, the overall package remains one of the most polished and capable sports wearables on the market today. If you’re serious about improving your running performance without compromising on smartwatch functionality, the HUAWEI Watch GT Runner 2 is an easy recommendation.

The new red variant of Huawei’s currently most feature packed smartwatch has been spotted, Huawei Watch 4 Pro. Currently, there is limited information available about the watch, but it is known that Huawei will introduce this red-colored variant named as “Huawei Watch 4 Pro Space Exploration Edition”.

Huawei Watch 4 Pro comes in red color

Huawei WATCH 4 Pro currently comes with three different strap options: titanium, composite, and leather. The Space Exploration Edition will be available with a red chassis and a titanium strap in silver color.

Huawei Watch 4 Pro is currently Huawei’s flagship smartwatch, and due to its beefy specs, it has a slightly thick design; the Watch 4 Pro weighs 65 grams.

The only difference in the Watch 4 Pro Space Exploration Edition is, of course, the color, but it will also come with some improved specs compared to the regular Watch 4 Pro, although what the red edition will bring new is not known.

The Watch 4 Pro was recently upgraded to the HarmonyOS 4.0 system and has a battery life of 4.5 days and this can extend up to 21 days in ultra battery saving mode . What do you think about the new color of the watch? Would you consider buying the red version of the Watch 4 Pro if it were available in the global market?

Huawei is holding a product launch event in Barcelona on September 14th. The company will launch the new Huawei Watch GT 4 series wearable device at the event. The Watch GT 4 series is already rumored to have some exciting new features, including a brand new ECG (electrocardiogram) feature.

Tipster FixedFocus has revealed that the Huawei Watch GT 4 Pro will have this new ECG feature. This feature could be used to detect arrhythmia. For those unaware, an arrhythmia, also known as irregular heartbeat, is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. Your heart may beat too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular rhythm. 

It is normal for your heart rate to speed up during physical activity and to slow down while resting or sleeping. However, arrhythmias can be serious and can lead to heart problems. The ECG feature works by recording the electrical activity of the heart. This information can be used to identify arrhythmias and other heart conditions. As a result, adding support for arrhythmia detection in the Huawei Watch GT 4’s ECG feature will help consumers get the most out of their health management.

Besides ECG, the Huawei Watch GT 4 is expected to have a new positioning system for sports activity, a waterproof speaker, and new service widgets with HarmonyOS 4. It will also have a stylish frame and a green color to match the Mate 60 series of smartphones.

From the launch poster shared by Huawei, we can also predict that the Watch GT 4 will have two different dials, one that looks like the Watch GT Cyber with colored labels and another that is round. Both dials seem to have custom watch faces designed for the smartwatch.

We will have to wait for the official launch to confirm all of these features, but the new ECG addition and other features make the Huawei Watch GT 4 series even more exciting.

Huawei Watch 3 series launched two years ago. It seems the company is gearing up to launch the new lineup Huawei Watch 4 series, which will come with an interesting addition to its design – the use of Zircon material. The watch will be the first in the industry to incorporate satellite communication capabilities, making it an exciting addition to the world of wearables.

The Huawei Watch 4 will feature a unique Zircon material around the dial, which is known for its durability and resistance to crack propagation. This material is four times harder than steel and doesn’t age with time, ensuring that the watch maintains its design aesthetics for an extended period. Huawei is expected to use this material in the premium version of the Watch 4, making it an expensive addition to the market.

Apart from its unique design, the Huawei Watch 4 is also set to revolutionize the way we communicate. The watch will feature satellite communication capabilities, allowing users to send SMS messages without relying on a mobile network. This is a significant development, as it makes the Huawei Watch 4 the first smartwatch in the industry to incorporate this feature. According to a recent leak, Huawei Watch 4 and Watch 4 Pro passed WiFi certification with the codenames ARC (Arch) and MDS (Medusa) respectively.

While Huawei has not yet confirmed the launch date for the Watch 4, we are expecting some significant improvements over its predecessor.

The incorporation of satellite communication capabilities and the use of Zircon material are just two examples of the innovative features that Huawei is expected to bring to the table with the Watch 4.

Huawei had revealed in its latest flagship foldable, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 in China last month. Previously, the its predecessor, the Huawei Mate Xs was exclusively on sale in the Chinese market only. 

But to much surprise, the company is apparently planning to bring the new Huawei Mate Xs 2 foldable device to be available in the global market as the company announced that it will be holding a flagship product launch event on May 18th (Thursday) next week, at 8pm Beijing Time (UTC +8) / 5:30pm IST (UTC +5:30).

This launch event is set to announce several of Huawei’s 2022 highly antipicated products to the global markets like the Huawei Mate Xs 2 foldable, the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro and the Huawei Watch Fit 2. The event will be livestreamed online via Huawei official portals on Facebook and YouTube.

In addition to the global launch, the company is also holding an exclusive Malaysia Premier Launch for its flagship device on 19th May 2022 5pm MYT, which Huawei is expected to announce roadshows and promotions for its products at the event.

To recap, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 was launched earlier in China as a premium foldable smartphone that folded outwards instead of the conventional inwards you would find on the Oppo Find N and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. The screen is 6.5-inch OLED display when folded and when unfolded, it expands to a 7.8-inch OLED with a resolution of 2480 x 2200 pixels. The screen has a 120 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling rate and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut.

Onboard the Huawei Mate Xs 2, you will find the Snapdragon 888 4G chipset paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Battery-wise, the standard Huawei Mate Xs 2 has a 4600mAh capacity while the Collector’s edition comes with a bigger 4880mAh battery. Both variants come with 66W fast charging support which the company claims can refill the battery to 90% in just 30 minutes.

The Huawei Mate Xs 2 features a powerful triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture, a 13MP ultrawide lens with f/2.2 aperture, and an 8MP telephoto camera with f/2.4 aperture, OIS and 3x optical zoom. On the front, we have a 10.7MP ultra-wide-angle selfie camera with f/2.2 aperture.

Along with the Huawei Mate Xs 2 launch last month, Huawei had also revealed its latest premium smartwatch, the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro, for the Chinese market. 

To ensure that the smartwatch is always up to date on the latest software, Huawei has also pushed out the HarmonyOS 2.1 May update for the Watch GT 3 Pro, which includes several new features and software improvements for the device. 

The HarmonyOS 2.1.0.327 May Update has an update file size of 112MB and is officially available for Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro owners in China starting from today. Its changelog is as follows:

Smartwatches may have very limited features, but when you have a smartwatch that is highly specialized and well optimized in the right features, then that’s a really good deal to consider, isn’t it?

The smartwatch, which we are going to talk about today belongs to this category, and it is none other than the Huawei watch GT Runner. This latest Huawei smartwatch is not only a normal wearable assistant but also your personal running coach. So we decided to wear it for daily activities, especially for daily running. At this point, we were able to draw the conclusion that the GT Runner is the best smartwatch for people who take running as their primary exercise. 

It is assembled with capable hardware sensors and professional software that can record and process environmental and health data. It can also produce customized scientific and effective training plans, providing you with an easy yet highly professional fitness experience. 

Before we get into the specially assembled features, let’s take a look at the design and built. One of the most impressive parts about its built is the weight. It has a comfortable weight of 38.5 grams, which is lighter than any other Huawei Watch in the market. 

Thanks to the ultra-light silicon strap and good choice of materials, the whole watch is very sturdy and solid and has a very premium, high-end feeling with ceramic ultra-light bezel and aerospace-grade titanium-alloy watch crown. The strap is also very elastic, the experience of wearing the watch around your wrist is delightful. Even after a long time of running, with sweat and weariness, it still can be very comfortable. The upper button has a smooth rotatable crown, which is also very pleasing to use. And with this really fashionable and premium look, the design and built surely are top-notch level.

1 of 3

As for the specs, it comes with a 1.43 inch AMOLED display that supports slide and touch gestures, 4GB RAM, and most importantly 5 ATM water-resistant, which means it can be used under 50 meters of water. That is great news for runners who also enjoy swimming. At the same time, it is also rated IP68, so you don’t have to worry about the dust as well.

It has a 455 mAh battery with wireless charging, and that is enough for 14 days of typical use without charging. In actual use, it’s good for daily typical scenarios, including a 90-minute workout per week. You can even get a longer battery if you turn off some standby features like continuous heart rate monitoring. But if you’re a self-disciplinarian who works out every single day and uses sensors more frequently, battery life could still last for 6-7 days.

Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Geomagnetic, Optical heart rate, and Air pressure sensors are the main sensors that enable measuring and collecting environmental and health data. One of the most impressive experiences of using the GT Runner is its accurate positioning and route tracking. Thanks to the insane five major satellite systems integrated into the watch (GPS+Beidou+GLONASS+Galileo+QZSS), it has the most precise positioning and distance counting that I’ve ever seen on a smartwatch. And almost no obvious trajectory drift happened to the watch during running.

For most runners, one of the biggest headaches is quantifying their running performance, it is a complicated process, but with all these various and powerful sensors and a well-designed HUAWEI TruSport software, you will be provided with the Running Ability Index (RAI) to evaluate your running performance based on your heart rate, pace, distance, frequency, and other multidimensional data. When I wore it and went out for a morning jog, I could not only see my accurate dynamic heart rate and SpO2 but also get other professional data such as fatigue level, training index, and aerobic/anaerobic training pressure. I can use this information to make reasonable adjustments to improve my results. 

And the Huawei Health app is the best smart wearable app that I’ve used on the Android platform. The most valuable point of the software is that it adapts almost all the features to other brands’ phones, bringing almost the same experience on most android devices as using a Huawei phone. In the app, users can develop their own health plans, take exercise courses, or set training goals. 

Apart from these features for runners, it’s also as powerful as any other Huawei smartwatch as a daily driver. It runs on HarmonyOS 2.0 and offers sleep and stress monitoring and healthy living reminders like drinking water, deep breathing, early bedtime, and even daily smile through the HUAWEI Health app feature. Because it’s so comfortable to wear, wearing it at night when I am sleeping is also much easier compared to other watches. Therefore, I can now even consider trying out sleep monitoring. It also provides music playback with earphones or speakers and comes with a large amount of storage space which can store up to 500 songs. And of course, getting notifications, and sending messages are all available as other watches.

The watch is positioned as the company’s first professional running watch and is priced at €299. This price may not be very exciting, but if you want the above-mentioned professional features, then it can still be a very good bargain to have. At least for me, I think I can have a great time wearing on my wrist, monitoring my fitness and health, in a way that will actually bring some positive impact on my total well-being.

On the other hand, I will also want to spend this money on other options, such as eating healthier stuff or buying a good bike to enjoy more outdoor time. So you can make your purchase decision depending on your preference.

Like most electric devices, there are few options of smart wearable that really cares female users with fine design and exclusive features beyond tech things. But recently a latest HUAWEI smart watch caught my eyes, the HUAWEI Watch Fit Elegant Edition. As a female user, it’s my pleasure to give you a picture how the watch performs from a female perspective, after seeing most review works were done by non-female peers.

Design

The very first good detail of the Watch Fit is the rectangular 2.5D curved display. And it truly means that the dial is curved with a beautiful arc to fit the surface of my wrist, which smartly makes it not to bump up too much over your wrist. Personally, a big display is really not necessary as it is unavoidable to have a bigger size of dial. It generally looks strange when those full-size wearables occur to my thin wrist. Wearing the Watch Fit (1.64-inch display) I didn’t have this concern. The Watch Fit (size: 46mm×30mm×10.7mm; weight: 27g) is lighter and thinner than most full-function smartwatches that I’ve ever tried.

The included off-white strap with the polished golden watch frame looks pretty stylish for female users. And more importantly, it didn’t make me spend much time again thinking about how to match my clothes with a smart wearable. Casual, formal or sports dress with this watch is very suitable, and it wouldn’t be abrupt or even too distracting.

Water-proofness

Another feature that saved my life is the so called 5ATM water-proofness. The official explanation says the watch could be used for shallow-water activities like swimming. For me, it’s a greatly release that I didn’t need to take down the watch as I’m cooking at home, where I relied much on the watch features like timer and stopwatch. The dial didn’t leave a little water stain after drenching.

Sports & Health tracking

At the beginning, I thought like the other watches, it would provide the similar sports modes with good sport data collection and display. However, it offers more than what I expected. Besides the 96 workout modes with reliable sport tracking, it can work like a private trainer by offering 12 kinds of animated fitness courses (Exercise at Work, Neck & shoulder Relaxation, Burn Fat Fast, etc.) these animated courses includes 44 standard movement demonstrations which perfectly guides your workout without any equipment.

And the other lasted wearable fitness trackers like the build-in GPS sensor, all-time heartrate monitoring and Blood oxygen saturation monitoring are all included in the Watch Fit. Furthermore, it’s so warm that the watch features a Period-cycle tracking specially for female users. With this feature on, the watch kept tracking the cycle and estimated ovulation date for me, and sent me reminders to let me know the special days coming. I’ve used several phone APPs that have the similar functions, but a wearable product is definitely more convenient to keep me better informed.

Battery

By far I’m satisfied with its battery standby. With almost all important functions on, the watch has lasted for one week without charging. HUAWEI officially claimed it can last for 10 days and can collect back the power for a whole day with only a 5-minute fast charge. The official claim sounds good but I didn’t really care much about it since I only required it to give me a continuous use for the whole week.

Conclusion

I used to complain with my friends about why most tech-thing producers do not seriously think about forms and functions of their products from the perspective of women. But now it seems someone is reviewing their products seriously. The HUAWEI Watch Fit is likely to be the first few products thinking about it seriously.

The new technology is not necessary to come with some kinds of ‘technological sense’, but more importantly, when transforming it into products for all human uses, I think it should be more humane and warmer. Fortunately, at least on the Watch Fit, I saw their efforts.

The post Super Deal: Buy Huawei Watch GT2 Pro at $209.99 (Original Price $400) appeared first on Gizmochina.

Since 2019, Huawei has pushed its strategy for its smart products, similar to how the company charged into the smartphone market a few years back. And this year, the company has launched a bunch of interesting smart products including the Huawei GT 2e smartwatch.

The Huawei GT 2e is a new product in the GT 2 lineup. Compared to GT 2, it’s sportier but at the same time, reserves a polished design for daily use. The biggest difference is that the GT 2e doesn’t feature a speaker for music playback. But except for this, both GT 2 and GT 2e are almost the same in terms of features. 

Huawei GT 2e Review: Design

The Huawei GT 2e features a 1.39-inch AMOLED display, paired with the durable stainless-steel frame. Compared to the Watch GT 2, the more compact design of the GT 2e makes it sporty and fashionable. And with the lightweight multiple-color sporty straps, the total weight of 70g is still acceptable for most people.

We knew AMOLED display was the best choice for smartwatches due to its power-saving ‘always-on’ feature. During these two weeks of wearing the GT 2e, we truly experienced the efficiency of the display. The feeling of wearing the GT 2e was also familiar to a traditional watch. As we turn on the standby watch face, there is no need to check the time by waking the screen, though the GT 2e also allows wrist raise to light up the display. In addition to this, the GT 2e also supports auto-brightness adjustment. Even as we enjoy outdoors and are exposed to sunlight, the watch display is still clearly visible.

Meanwhile, for personalization, users can customize their own watch faces through the dial store. There’re various watch face designs for free, or just customize the watch with your favorite photo.

 Huawei GT 2e Review: Features

The GT 2e sports almost all the important fitness features that a smartwatch product should have in 2020, like 100 sport modes tracking, heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, blood oxygen saturation tracking, and stress tracking. The GT 2e also supports an auto-detect feature for 6 sport modes – indoor or outdoor running/walking, elliptical, and rowing.

While jogging, the GT 2e was perfectly showing all the important details on its screen, such as heart rate monitoring, average pace, distance, and so on. And thanks to 4GB storage, you are able to wear your Bluetooth-connected earbuds and play the music from its internal storage without carrying a phone. The same storage space allows you to freely store and view all the important tracking records on the GT 2e.

Going back to the phone app, Huawei Health, you would find an even more detailed report generated by the watch, including the route detail shown on the map. And you can also open the dynamic route to check a short video about the whole running, which is really motivating for users to keep running. 

The smartwatch also shows some workout information that we’ve never seen before. For example, several diagrams show changes in heart rate, pace, cadence, altitude while running.

It even shows you how hard you train. For example, in one of the evaluation reports, the watch suggested me to be careful not to overtrain, and have enough rest time to avoid injuries. And the suggested recovery time it gave me was 96 hours.

And the maximum oxygen uptake index shows that my aerobic capacity and lung function is just at the average level. The Huawei Health app suggested that it could be improved by taking long-term systematic training.

All the features we mentioned above could be activated independently without connecting the phone. The route information was provided by the watch’s GPS sensor, while the music play function was supported by the internal storage and Bluetooth connectivity.

No doubt that the Huawei GT 2e is one of the most-sporty smartwatches I’ve ever seen, not just because it could accurately record the exercise information but also for its superb user-experience. What it provided was professional and exceeded my expectation.

Besides the professional performance of sports tracking, other fitness tracking features were also working well. For example, sleep tracking is sensitive and accurate. Compared to Xiaomi wearables, the sleep tracking report is more specific and helpful as it tells users about their sleep quality and offers some quiet sounds or music as sleep aids to improve sleep. And the new stress test is also helpful to know better about your mental health. 

For the blood oxygen saturation tracking, we sent the watch to my friend who is a doctor, and asked him to compare the Sp02 watch performance with professional equipment. He told us that the results were very close. Even so, we still need to remind you that the watch is not professional medical equipment, and don’t judge your physical health only with the smartwatch.

The other features like remote camera control, notifications, weather, compass, barometer, are very practical for those who love outdoor activities. 

Huawei GT 2e Review: Battery

Thanks to the power-saving algorithm of the Huawei self-developed chip Kirin A1, the GT 2e is optimized for a longer-lasting battery. During our daily use, the Huawei Watch GT 2e lasted for around 12 days. Though it’s a bit shorter than the 2 weeks claimed by Huawei, we have to say that the actual use should be very close to the 2-week battery life, considering that we turned on almost all the power-consuming functions including most monitoring and standby watch face during our testing phase 

The GT 2e is 5ATM waterproof, which means that it could be used for shallow-water activities like swimming but should not be used for diving or other underwater activities.  

So, the GT 2e is definitely our pick in the smartwatch segment in the first half of 2020. Especially if you’re using Huawei phones or Huawei earbuds, the GT 2e should be an ideal companion accessory to track your fitness and health.

The post Huawei Watch GT 2e Review: A Sporty Smartwatch with Accurate Health Tracking appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese tech company UMIDIGI has revealed via a tweet posted recently that it will launch a new smartwatch which has as its biggest feature a SpO2 monitor. The smartwatch will be called UMIDIGI UFit and isn’t just a smartwatch but a fitness and health tracker. The product will be launched on March 16.

In the face of the Coronavirus outbreak, the focus on health and fitness has increased. The blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) level is a vital indicator of a person’s health. This tracking the SpO2 level is also a new wearable tech metric getting adopted by more manufacturers. It might sound complicated but SpO2 can reveal conditions. For example, coronavirus and sleep apnea may cause low blood oxygen saturation.

The SpO2 monitor is already in some big-name wearables: Fitbit and Garmin already have an SpO2 sensor on most of their devices, and Huawei has jumped in too. UMIDIGI UFit is expected to also have a SpO2 sensor but it would be much more affordable, in line with UMIDIGI’s market strategy.

There’s still a lot we don’t know about the device, but there are a few things we can speculate from the teaser image. Besides the SpO2 monitoring function, it apparently has a curved screen and 2.5D glass. And there’s a side button to control the watch. We won’t have to wait long to learn more about the smartwatch since it goes official on March 16.

UMIDIGI is also running a giveaway with five units of the UMIDIGI F2 smartphone and fifteen units of the UFit up for takes. You can join the giveaway on their official website. You can also pre-order the UFit on AliExpress.

Being UMIDIGI’s latest flagship smartwatch, the UMIDIGI Uwatch GT will start global sales at a discounted price of $39.99 on AliExpress on Thanksgiving day (November 28th). Adopting a mainstream and modern design, it comes with 5ATM water resistance and clean UI, while providing real-time notifications and sports activity update to the user. But what makes it so different that someone would spend money on it? Let’s check out.

New premium dual-crown rounded display design

Moving away from the square design of the previous model, the Uwatch GT is suitable for both formal and sports occasions. Also, thanks to the two buttons (power button and function button) it is easier to operate.

5ATM water resistance

Of course, a modern smartwatch should offer protection against water and the Uwatch GT features 5ATM water resistance. This means that you can use it even if you dive 50 meters underwater (for 10 minutes)! In daily use, it is practically waterproof. Such a feature is found in other smartwatches on the market but with really expensive prices.

Up to two weeks’ battery life

The Achilles Heel of most smartwatches out there is the battery life. UMIDIGI is using Bluetooth 5.0 and other power-saving hardware to achieve one of the longest battery life for smartwatches out there. It can go on for up to 2 weeks even if you use the continuous heart rate monitoring as well as other basic features. It’s good to know that your smartwatch won’t turn off in the middle of the day or when you are exercising.

Continuous heart rate monitoring

Until recently, smartwatches didn’t come with continuous heart rate monitoring and the user had to trigger the function on his own. UMIDIGI stays up to date with the current features offered in the market so that you can monitor your heart status all day. The UWatch GT allows users to see their heart rate and monitor bradycardia and heart failure.

Smart sports mode

Featuring 12 sports modes that track what kind of activity the user is taking part in, such as running, cycling and more, UMIDIGI’s watch is Google Fit-enabled to give you credit for all your moves and provide a holistic view of your health.

Flagship features, budget price

The most important of all is its price tag. Unlike rival models with similar features that are asking for $150 or more, the UMIDIGI Uwatch GT will cost just $39.99 on Aliexpress during its global sales debut on Thanksgiving Day.

The sale will start on November 28th and will be valid until the end of Cyber Monday sales. To not miss the sale, you can add it to your cart on Aliexpress now. Lastly, the company is also running a Giveaway to give out 10 units to 10 trial users. You can see all the specs and join the giveaway here.

The post UMIDIGI Uwatch GT is worth your attention and here’s why appeared first on Gizmochina.

UMIDIGI that is best known for its affordable flagship smartphones, recently launched its latest flagship sports smartwatch, UMIDIGI Uwatch GT. According to the company, the killer features are its 5ATM water-resistance as well as Bluetooth 5.0, features difficult to find in smartwatches below $50. The Uwatch GT will be globally available on Thanksgiving at a discounted price of $39.99 and until then, you can check out the unboxing video below to see it in action.

The design has greatly improved over the previous version and the watch looks premium. UMIDIGI moved from a square display to a dual-crown rounded one with a watch case width of 47mm and a 1.3″ display. The metal body features smooth edges and paired with the silicon-based strap, it looks suitable both for work and sports. There are 2 physical buttons on the right side for easy use.

Back to the 5ATM feature, the Uwatch GT allows you to go for a swim while wearing it. As we’ve explained in previous news, the watch is water-resistant up to a depth of 50 meters for 10 minutes so that you don’t have to worry when wearing it in daily life or swimming.

What’s more, the watch supports advanced exercise tracking with 12 sports modes, including running and walking. Also, the continuous heart rate monitoring has improved over the previous model and the battery life is around two weeks with average use.

UMIDIGI Uwatch GT will start its global sales at a discounted price of $39.99 on November 28th and the promotion will last until the end of Cyber Monday sales. You can add it to your cart on Aliexpress in advance so that you won’t miss the sale. Lastly, UMIDIGI is already running a big giveaway to recruit 10 trial users for Uwatch GT.

UMIDIGI recently launched the UWatch GT flagship sports smartwatch hoping it will become a daily life and sports companion packed with everyday health and fitness features. The company claims that it has a water resistance of 5 ATM; that’s 50 meters deep underwater. But does it stand up to its on-paper specs? Let’s check out the facts. By the way, it will be globally available on Thanksgiving, November 28th, at a discounted price of $39.99.

So, what exactly does 5 ATM water resistance mean? And what makes ATM water resistance ratings different from other kinds of evaluation standards, such as IP ratings? Ingress Protection (IP) rating is already commonly used in the smartphone industry. For example, the latest iPhone 11 Pro is IP68 certified offering a high level of protection against water and dust. But IP ratings do not take water pressure into account. Therefore, IP ratings are not indicative of a device’s ability to be used during aquatic activities such as swimming. That’s why ATM is here.

ATM Ratings – Water Resistance Under Pressure

The ATM water resistance rating is the one you’ll find on regular mechanical and battery-driven watches and that you’ll most likely find on new wearables products. The pressure tests are measured in ATMs, which stands for atmospheres, and are converted to water depth to make the measurements easier to learn.

One ATM is equivalent to the pressure exerted on an object at 10 meters underwater. The higher the ATM rating, the deeper the product can go without being affected. The deeper you swim, the pressure rises. The basic ATM water-resistance levels are described below.

With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, UMIDIGI Uwatch GT is resistant to pressure at a depth of 50 meters, meaning the watch can not only resist water from rain but also be worn during shallow-water activities, like swimming.

UMIDIGI Uwatch GT goes on global sales at a discounted price of $39.99 starting November 28th and the promotion will last until the end of Cyber Monday sales. In case you miss the sale, you can add it to your cart on AliExpress right now. Don’t forget that UMIDIGI is already running a big giveaway to recruit 10 trial users for Uwatch GT.

Huawei has finally unveiled its latest smartwatch – the Huawei Watch GT. The wearable device was announced alongside the Huawei Mate 20 series at an event held earlier today in London. The Watch GT isn’t really a successor of the Huawei Watch 2 as expected, but focuses on fitness tracking rather than being a complete watch studded with features like the Apple Watch 4 series. One interesting thing about the smartwatch is that it doesn’t run on WearOS rather, it runs on Huawei’s own LightOS. This is the first watch to feature the LightOS, by the way.

Huawei Watch GT comes with a classic design and is made of 316L stainless steel with ceramic bezels. It features a 1.39-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 454x454pixels. The watch is powered by a Cortex-M4 chipset with low power and high power processors. Thus, the device has a very durable battery life. Huawei says the battery can last up to 30 days if you only receive notifications (no heart rate tracking or GPS), 2 weeks if you use heart rate tracking and exercise for 1:30 hour per week and 22 hours of continuous GPS, heart rate sensing and always on screen. It’s rated at 5ATM water resistance.

Embedded under the smartwatch is an optical heart rate sensor on its bottom which uses 6 LEDs. The sensor is backed by Huawei’s Truseen 3.0 technology which promises to be more efficient in reading your heart rate and also learn it over time. The watch also comes with GPS that can be used to track your daily activity and training in conjunction with Huawei’s Health Assistant app. Oher features include a built-in altimeter as well as step and sleep tracking features.

Huawei is yet to release the price of the Watch GT. We’ll keep you updated when that is done.

Huawei is expected to launch the Watch GT along with the Mate 20 series on October 16. Ahead of the launch, a smartwatch purported to be the Huawei Watch GT Classic or Fashion has been spotted in a leaked render. The Watch GT is expected to be available in two variants, the second being the Watch GT Sport. The Watch GT Classic variant uses a black and silver bezel combination as can be seen on the render.

The new Huawei smartwatch also packs two buttons on the side and can still be operated via the touchscreen. The watch will also have Bluetooth which is statutory and will have several other sensors like compass, GPS, pressure sensor and an accelerometer. The watch likely also have a heart rate sensor but that isn’t confirmed. A recent FCC listing had confirmed the presence of NFC and a 410mAh battery. However, the battery size is pretty impressive. Moreso, it is bigger than the 291.8mAh cell onboard the latest Apple Watch 4.  Despite the big battery, the Watch GT will also support 5W charging using a charging pad. The charging pad utilises a USB Type-C port.

The Huawei Watch GT Classic is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s newly unveiled Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset. The smartwatch should also come price at around €199 ($172) in the GT Sport and €229 ($198) for the Watch GT Classic.

We know it’s been quite some time since we got hands on any new smartwatch from the Chinese giant internationally. Well, the wait seems to end as Huawei is coming up with a new smartwatch with a week-long battery life. According to the Consumer Division CEO at Huawei, Richard Yu, the company is taking time to innovate the new smartwatch.

Recently, speaking to Digital Trends, Yu said that Huawei is not yet done with smartwatches. They are making new innovations for the Huawei Smartwatch, so that it can sustain the growing competition from other OEMs. Particularly, he talked about extending the battery life of the smartwatches by making it last for a week with a single charge. Huawei is also in talks with Qualcomm to make a new chipset which will help them to attain more battery life with better efficiency.

Currently, there’s huge energy consumption on Smartwatches due to always-on Bluetooth, Display and Sensors. Huawei wants to make a better, long lasting and Artificial intelligence (AI) powered watch without hindering the important features . They also want to make the smartwatches small and useful with increased productivity.

“We want to make bigger improvements and make the experience much better than today. That’s my target. We want to make the smartwatch more useful, more intimate, more functional, and with much longer battery life.”-Richard Yu, CEO, Huawei Consumer Business Group

Couple of months ago, Huawei launched Huawei Watch 2 (2018) with Snapdragon 2100 onboard. Currently, it is only available in China and there’s no indication regarding a global launch.  We hope in the coming weeks, Huawei would launch an evolutionary smartwatch with the touted “one-week long” battery life for the international audience.

Android Wear 2.0 launched last month and it first appeared on LG’s G Watch Style and Sport. However, you might not need to buy a new smartwatch to enjoy the new features of Android Wear 2.0 as Google says the update will be available to eligible devices, one of which is the Huawei Watch.

The Huawei Watch already has two successors, the Huawei Watch 2 and Watch 2 Classic, but like most Android Wear 2.0 watches we have seen, they disappoint. The original Huawei Watch is still the best looking android watch you can buy and the new update breathes new life into this 1½ year old watch.

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 is drawing near. Huawei has been heavily pegged to announce the P10 and P10 Plus flagships at the upcoming event. Previous rumors have hinted that the company may also unveil Huawei Watch 2 smartwatch. Evan Blass, the well-known leakster has now revealed the alleged press renders of Huawei Watch 2 which reveals that it will be coming with a sportier appeal.

According to the leakster, the Huawei Watch 2 is codenamed as “Leo.” The original Huawei Watch came with a classy appeal, but leaked press renders suggest that its successor appears to have a very sporty look. It has a rugged appeal and it features two physical buttons on its right edge. The strap of the Huawei Watch 2 seems to be made of rubber.

Another render of the smartwatch suggests that it features a SIM card slot for cellular connectivity. A report from the previous month did reveal that the Chinese manufacturer’s upcoming smartwatch would carry support for cellular connectivity.

There is no confirmation whether the smartwatch would be supporting only 3G or 4G LTE networks. With cellular connectivity onboard, Huawei Watch 2 users will be able to use it as a standalone device to make phone and receive phone calls without the need of pairing it with a smartwatch.

The Huawei Watch 2 press renders reveals that it would be coming in three color choices such as black, orange and grey (with white speckles). The device is expected to run on Android Wear 2.0 and rival with the recently announce LG Watch Sport.

Rumors from the January month have claimed that it would be a 42 mm smartwatch featuring a 1.4-inch display. Even though fresh press renders of Huawei Watch 2 hints that it would be available with a sporty appeal, last month’s leaks revealed that it will be also coming in leather and stainless steel versions.

As of this writing, there is no information available on the specifications, pricing and availability of the Huawei Watch 2. These details are expected to get officially announced at Huawei’s upcoming press event on Sunday at 5 AM PST.

There have been rumors of Huawei launching the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus on February 26 at MWC 2017 but those rumors have so far been unsubstantiated officially. Well, not until now. Huawei’s VP has indeed hinted that the company will be having a launch event at MWC 2017 but the device he tips as launching at the event isn’t the P10 or P10 Plus but the Huawei Watch 2. 

The VP in his Weibo post used some hashtags to tease the impending product, some of which are #HUAWEIWATCH2. #MADE FOR FREE SPIRITS, #Huawei MWC2017. We don’t need a soothesayer to tell us that the product is most likely coming at the Mobile World Congress. The teaser also suggests that the Watch 2 would likely be for sports persons.

Huawei launched its first smartwatches designed for Children earlier today. The smart watches were designed in collaboration with Disney and Marvel, bringing in unique and cool designs.

The Huawei children smartwatches adopt designs themed around four popular cartoon characters, Minnie, Mickey, Frozen Four, and Captain America and is said to clutch a cheap price tag of 688 yuan ($104).

The Huawei children smartwatch isn’t just an ordinary time piece or toy for the amusement of the kids as it also packs some features which makes it a smart gadget. The watch uses GPS, Compass, WLAN, and acceleration sensor. Also the device uses Huawei’s own cloud services and all communication records and data are stored in the cloud server.

The Huawei smartwatch also features a unique feature “Shake” feature. The “Shake” feature enables connection between two watches within a 10-meter radius, thus two friends can share information and data just by merely shaking their hands. The smartwatch also enables users to make calls and chat. It is not known yet when the device will become commercially available.

UPDATE: It looks like the company didn’t live stream the event, but you can check out the videos and pictures of the Mate S and Huawei Watch from here.  Also, check out our launch article for all details about Huawei MATE S from here! 

One of the biggest tech events of the year is here and its time almost all major manufacturers show off what they have in store for their fans. Even Huawei will be present at the IFA event and we expect at least two major announcements at the conference which will be held later today. For those who couldn’t be present at the event, Huawei is live streaming the event.

You can watch the Huawei IFA Berlin 2015 event from fashiontouchestechnology.com. This is the dedicated page for live streaming the event which will start at 2PM Berlin time. At the time of publishing this article, there was more than 1.5 hours left for the live stream to begin, so you can tune into the event stream by that time.

We have already got an exclusive hands on with the device, which in my personal opinion looked beautiful. Thanks to the numerous other leaks, we already have a pretty good idea about what to expect from the event and the Huawei Mate S, including the force touch technology. The company is also expected to release more details such as pricing and availability about its Huawei Watch which was shown off as early as MWC in February. But till now, the watch wasn’t available for purchase. That’s probably going to change after the event today.

Huawei is also reportedly making the next Nexus device. While its unlikely that the company will show the device at IFA, we may see a few teasers or at least some information about the new partnership with Google this year.

Anyways, the event is definitely going to be exciting, particularly because the Mate S flagship is expected to be the first smartphone with the innovative Force Touch display. So, tune into the live stream from the link here.

Huawei may not be releasing its flagship smartphones like Huawei P8 or even the successor to the Ascend Mate 7. However, that doesn’t mean that the company won’t show off a new product at MWC. The company earlier released a series of teasers which said that “Next Is Here”. It didn’t take much time to figure out that the teaser could be for the upcoming Huawei smartwatch. And now, the company has released a new teaser video which once again could be for the Huawei smartwatch.

The video uploaded on Youku comes with the title, “You can’t imagine your world can be like this”(translated). This Chinese giant is definitely on to something and we have a fair idea as to what it could be.

The company had confirmed last month that it was readying a smartwatch this year. And latest rumors said that the watch was quite good. While we still have no clue about the features of the upcoming watch, the teaser does make us want to believe that Hauwei may have a great feature up its sleeve on the new watch.

We don’t know what it could be, but we hope that its something to do with battery. One of the biggest drawbacks of smartwatches these days is battery life and at this juncture, its very hard to imagine a smartwatch with good specs and display to have a good battery life. So, did Huawei solve this big problem?

Well, we don’t have to wait too long to get to know that since the company will announce the new product on 1st March 2015. We also expect the Huawei X2 to debut at the event. The device is said to come with a 7-inch 1920 x 1200 resolution display, Huawei Hisilicon Kirin 925 processor with 3GB RAM and 5500 mAh battery.The price could be anywhere around 1999 Yuan, which comes to around $320.

You can check out the earlier teasers released by the company from the given link. Also, you can check out the video from here.
