Huawei Watch GT2 Review | Beauty over Brains?
Reviewing the Huawei Watch GT2 (46mm version), after almost a full week of personal use. This latest Android smartwatch is a rival to the Fossil Gen 5, Samsung Galaxy Watch and other wrist rockets, boasting fantastic battery life and sleek design. However, the functionality is rather limited compared with Android Wear and Tizen.
For one, you can’t download new apps and watch faces onto the Huawei Watch GT 2. You get a decent range of fitness and exercise tracking tools, but this wearable is seriously limited compared with the Fossil Gen 5 and other Wear OS smartwatches.
Thankfully the battery life helps to redeem this Huawei device somewhat. You’ll get a full week of use from a single charge, even with heart rate monitoring, always on display and other features active. That’s one of the best results outside of the likes of the Withings Sport.
So are you temped by this wearable? Check out my full unboxing for a closer look at the setup, while I’ve also reviewed the Fossil Gen 5 and other rivals here on Tech Spurt.

can you control the music played on your smartphone trough the watch gt 2 ?
hi, does the screen stay allays on when you are exercising? Thanks
Unfortunately smartwatches are pretty useless
Can you turn off Bluetooth?
can you try huawei mate30 pro with pen?please please please.
can I use it with a huawei y7 prime 2018 ?
I think it's the DLC coating on the glass huawei love there own materials with their own chipsets and now their own OS their gloss seems tuffer than the gorilla stuff ?
I almost bought the watch gt, then decided I would wait untill the next version came out and I'm soo glad I waited I'll be buying this as soon I can here in Canada
I know you like the mi max phones ,any news on the max 4 as I was looking for it to be at the Xiaomi unavailing but have not seen anything ,thanks Joe
Please do some sport activities outputs. Thanks ,-) GPS battery life etc…
3:44 No in-built GPS? That makes it similar to the likes of Mi Band 4 in functions, doesn't it. Except calling ability. But that's a gimmick to me.
If Amazfit GTR/GTS have a functional GPS, they are ahead, even though I really like the GT2 design.
does the huawei gt2 works with phones from other brands? also is the huawei health app available for other devices too?
It's so laggy
I always wonder how is the accuracy of smartwatches…seldom see any videos about it…
Thanks for the review. When the watch receive notification does the screen wake up or just vibration and how is the vibration strengh if you compare with Watch GT1. Thanks.
Hi if I order the Rog phone 2 does it come with a suitcase or I have to get the phone alone and buy the accessory separate right?
The UI looks horrible.
when it will be available for purchase ?
Nicely designed watch, and impressive battery life if the claimed week of duration is true. But lack of GPS makes it rather pointless compared to Xiaomi Mi Band 4 activity monitor.
You deserve so many more subs.
Fitbit Versa 2?
Does it support NFC for mobile payment?
review GT2(42mm version). thank you
Is this watch available in US?
Im someone who forgets to charge stuff all the time and reminding myself to charge the ticwatch e every other day was a big hassle (i actually had to set a repeating reminder) sold it soon after but this one seems pretty good
Any chance of a review of the Huawei Freebuds 3 earbuds???
Android or other os
I am using GT since 4 months. It is better then amazfit GTR which I used for two weeks and sold . I have ordered GT 2. Big thumbs Up to Huawei. I am a big fan of Huawei. I am using huawei 20 X mobile with M pen and gampad since 9 months. It works flowlessly for media consumption. It is now my daily drivers with GT watch. Now GT2
Can it be connected to an external Bluetooth heart Rate monitor?
Yes I would buy this watches absolutely beautiful plus like the make as well Mark ?
There is a built-in GPS on the watch you can leave your phone when going on a hike or for a run and it will map your exercise (as there is on the first gen) and the always on display is available as well on the first generation. Watch speaker, the ability to take calls from the watch, on board storage and music controller are massive improvements from the previous Watch GT I will definately upgrade!
Even though the mate 30 pro doesn’t have gmail, watch gt2 does lol
I think the apple wach is more advanced.
So is this the man's one?
Oh how dare I say that not very pc of me I am sorry….. NOT..
overprized for what it is!
Can you compare it with Galaxy Watch ?
That seems like a pile of shit compared with my Apple Watch 4 or compared to the first huawei smart watch released years ago
