One of the features of the Watch GT 2 Pro by Huawei is the support for blood oxygen saturation detection thanks to the SpO2 monitor included. The product page had revealed that the watch supports automatic 24-hour level detection but with the caveat that it will be available via an OTA update. Huawei has now begun rolling out the update to the watch.

The update is already rolling out in China and brings the firmware version to 10.1.2.36. It is a small update, coming in at just 46.20 MB in size. With the new automatic blood oxygen detection, the watch will track your SpO2 level at intervals all through the day. This means you will be able to check your levels while sleeping, at home, outdoors, during exercises, or when you are at elevated levels. This provides more comprehensive info for users.

Below is the full changelog for the update:

• Added automatic blood oxygen detection
• Added support for Korean, Burmese, Bengali, and Persian
• Optimize weather card
• Optimize custom settings for swimming pool length

It is important to state that the automatic blood detection feature is only available for Android users. So if you are an iOS user and plan to get the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro, know that you will not be able to use this feature.

The Watch GT 2 Pro has a 1.39-inch 454 x 454 AMOLED display that is protected by scratch-resistant Sapphire Glass. The watch can track more than 100 sport modes including golf, skiing, and snowboarding with detailed info.

It has built-in GPS with a route back feature in case the GPS signal is low and you need to return to your starting point. There is sleep tracking, 24-hour heart rate monitoring, and stress monitoring. It also has 4GB of built-in storage.

The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro is priced at €329 for the sport version and €349 for the classic version.

Back in May, Huawei filed a trademark application for “Mate Watch”. In June, a leaker revealed that the watch will run HarmonyOS and will be launched alongside the Mate 40 series. Based on new reports, we may be getting another watch too, one with a familiar name.

Huawei has received multiple certifications for a new smartwatch called the Watch GT 2 Pro. There is a chance this is the smartwatch that will launch alongside the Mate 40 series rather than the HarmonyOS-powered Mate Watch.

The Watch GT 2 Pro has been certified by various agencies including the FCC, Europe’s ECC, Malaysia’s SIRIM, and Singapore’s IMDA. It has been reported that one of the key features of the upcoming smartwatch whose model number is VID-B19, is support for 10W wireless charging.

The watch will have the same 455mAh battery capacity as the Watch GT 2 but we cannot say if the battery life will be the same. One of the selling points of the Huawei Watch GT 2 is its 2-week battery life. The upcoming pro version should pack more features compared to the Watch GT 2 and the Watch GT 2e, and of course have a higher price tag.

The design of the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro is unknown but we expect it to have a circular dial like its predecessors and be available in multiple sizes.
