Huawei Gt2 Smartwatch Guide

Huawei's Watch GT was known for its long battery life and great design, but also for its laggy and limited interface. The Watch GT 2 is a definite step in the right direction, but still lacks in several important areas.

Smartwatches are difficult to get right. Some of Huawei's past offerings have fallen short, sometimes with respect to software, other times with battery life. Other companies have tried to do too much putting a tiny smartphone on your wrist with mixed results. Apple's WatchOS and Google's Wear OS certainly offer more tools and features than Huawei's Lite OS, but is more always better? The Watch GT 2 aims to strip everything superfluous from a smartwatch and nail the basics.

Has Huawei improved its software, or is the Watch GT 2 all showing and not going? In Android Authority's Huawei Watch GT 2 review, you're about to find out.

The smartwatch software world is currently a bit of a mess, at least on Android. I'm sure you've heard this time and again, but it needs to be stated. Tizen, Wear OS, Fitbit OS, and Huawei's Lite OS simply haven't been able to compete with Apple's powerful wearable OS in raw functionality and seamless tie-ins with phones.

That hasn't changed yet, but the overall smartwatch experience has improved significantly over the last few years. Moreover, some of my biggest complaints concerning Android-compatible smartwatches have been resolved. That said, while I commend Huawei for its excellent hardware, there's still room for improvement in the software.

Last year's Huawei Watch GT had some issues, particularly with the laggy interface. The differences in hardware this year aren't as big as you might expect the Watch GT 2 and its predecessor are housed in similar external shells. The main improvements with the Watch GT 2 lie under the hood with performance, stability, health tracking, and battery life. The GT 2 isn't a massive upgrade from the GT, so the question becomes whether the improvements that have been made are enough to recommend it.

This smartwatch is gorgeous. The Classic version takes a more executive approach than the previous model, and with its leather band, I'm really digging the industrial design. The 46mm version strikes me as the far nicer looking hardware of the two size options yes, the design of the two sizes differs somewhat. The smaller option is more sleek and elegant with curved glass and minimal bezels, while the I model looks smarter and more business-friendly with its chrome-like bezel and subtle diver's watch numbering surrounding the display. There's also a Sport version of the large edition that comes with a standard silicone strap.

Physical features of the Watch GT 2 are few, yet well-conceived. There isn't a dial or crown, but there are two physical buttons on the right side. One of these is the home button, which also brings up the built-in app selector, and the other is specifically for health tracking and launching workouts.

At 326ppi, the GT 2's display is incredibly sharp. The AMOLED panel is nice and bright outdoors but could be slightly brighter at its highest setting. It's not much of a worry for me here in the dreary UK, but this could be an issue for those in sunnier places.

The watch doesn't feel chunky or overly bulky on my wrist. It fit comfortably under shirt sleeves and didn't get in the way during a workout. If you're used to having a regular-sized men's watch on your wrist, you'll feel right at home wearing the GT 2. If you have slimmer wrists, you'll want to go for the smaller model.
