Huawei Watch GT 2 Features And Specifications

Huawei Watch GT 2 is the first product from the company to be powered by the all-new Kirin A1 chip. The new chipset is exclusively designed for the company's new range of wearables. The Watch GT2 comes at a starting price of Rs. 14,990 (42mm) and Rs. 15,990 (46mm). The 42mm variant features a 1.2-inch AMOLED display (390x390-pixels), while the 46mm model flaunts a slightly bigger 1.39-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels.

The Huawei Watch GT 2 has a 5ATM water-resistant body and runs on Huawei's wearable OS- Lite OS. The Watch GT 2 can store up to 500 songs and you can pair the watch with wireless headphones and can go out for a run without carrying your phone.

As far as health and fitness centric features are concerned, the Watch GT 2 comes equipped with 15 sports activities including eight GPS-backed outdoor sports (running, walking, climbing, hiking trail running, cycling, open water, triathlon) and seven indoor sports (walking, running, cycling, swimming pool, free training, elliptical machine, rowing machine).

Notably, the biggest selling point of the Huawei Watch GT 2 is the long-lasting battery life. The smartwatch lasted for more than 9-days on one full charge during our review duration. However, the battery life will vary as per your usage. As mentioned in our review, the smartwatch can last at least 4 days on one full charge even if you use it at its full-capacity.

The Huawei Watch GT 2 lacks in delivering a full-fledged smartwatch user-experience due to ots half-baked Lite OS and the Kirin A1 chipset, which feels pretty underpowered. You can read our detailed review of the Huawei Watch GT 2 on GizBot.com.
