the genuine leather was meant to use in non exercise environment, for excercises use the black silicon like strap. Leather will be stained with perspiration or sweat and eventually will wear out if not used correctly. Its in the manual of GT2 under care and maintenance page. Hope it helps!
I have used Garmin all the time. Can you sync all activities etc here to Garmin Connect? Strava? Endomondo? I am now looking at Garmin Venu. Looks really nice, but totally different price and battery life.
Fantastic video Linus. The most impressive thing to me is the battery life. The GT Watch 2 lasting 10 days is amazing. I don't mind charging my watch 3 times in a month. Thumbs up given 😉👍
Nice delivery. Nice mixing of short and long distance shots, close ups and wide FOVs, flowing, factual and to the point description. You have some talent in making videos. Keep it up!
What about the currentl situation between huawei and google. Is it easy enough to download the huawei app gallery in order to get the updated versions of the HMS and health apps? The watch itself seems pretty rad and way cheaper than the competition.
Hi, can I charge it with the original factory cable + a HUAWEI Super Charger? Or is the super charger a bit too strong for this battery? Thanks for the answer :)
Hi i am planning to Buy Huawei GT 2, but have checked in revenues that Huawei has App issue and Watch has Bluetooth communication issue with mobile due to which it doesn't show notifications and sys is also not done automatic. I am using Oppo F7 and going to update for MI or Samsung phone, so are this compatible with Huawei?
Love your cat! I'm getting that same watch free with my new Huawei P40 Pro+ as a free gift. I have tiny wrists and hoping it's not too big! Cheers for the review! 👍🏻
Man the shots you take are so DOPE 🔥🔥🔥 Amazing cinematic shots, superb quality 🔝🔝🔝 no doubt you spend too many hours if not days to make this video. Respect 👍👍👍
Hey man! I really appreciate your support! Not everyone understands how long it takes to make videos like this. You are right, it takes days! Thanks again!
The Huawei Watch GT 2 is connected to the smartphone via Bluetooth 5.1, which can use the feature to make calls and receive messages directly from the smartwatch. Due to the installation of a microphone and speakers
Is GT 2 able to connect 3rd party sensors ? At least bluetooth heart rate strap ? It's so important for whether to buy or not. Otherwise i'll go with Vivoactive 4, just sold my Forerunner 245.
I am confused which watch should I buy Huawei GT2 or samsung watch active 2. I really love the look of GT2 but I'm worried it will look huge on my wrist.
Are you sure you can answer calls when far from your phone? I have this watch and love it, but the bluetooth disconnects when im about 10 metres away from my phone.
Thanks for the info Linus. I'm here in the US and I use a Huawei Mate 20X. I Bought a Garmin Vivoactive3 but returned it due to the battery drain is so rapid even with the key functions turned off. I had to go back to my 1st Gen Vivoactive for now. It pains me to jump ship to the GT2 after all the Garmin devices I purchased to sync with my watch. Garmin foot pod, chest HRM, bike speed and Cadence sensor. I just hope the exercise experience and performance is top-notch. That really matters to me. Since the GT2 is not sold here in the US I'll probably have to go through AliExpress or eBay but I want I totally black watch so I have to check and see if they have that model available once again thanks a lot for your review. Peace.
Yeah I decided to buy a Huawei GT2. It's not the ultimate smart watch but battery life is a pet peev. The work out options it has has more than I would use. I like it. Plus I like the 1.39 size display, add music, and receive calls on it. What I wish it could do is respond to SMS msg. and better active display watch faces.
Can we reply to a message directly from watch? Can we connect watch to phone and Bluetooth earphones at the same time? What is the usable internal space available and what can it be used besides storing music?
Great review and nice pushups, am planning to buy the gt2 . Can it keep up with the big guyz like the apple watch while running , i mean the heart rate accuracy?
Thanks for all the info. I'm in 2 minds between the GT2 and the GT2e. I do like the GT2 more in terms of design. I've heard that the GT2 has had the update for the SP02? Which one would you recommend?
I have the Gt2 46mm as well. It's really cute. It can track my sleeping time and tell me on my Huawei Heath app if my sleeping habit is healthy or not.
Im curious ... does this watch base its caloric burn rate off HR during a workout and also through the day? I noticed some trackers/watches simply just base the caloric burn rate off the Type of activity selected using some static algo for that Type of activity ... and on my garmin VA3 at least, I know w/o a doubt it bases its caloric burn rate off HR(and maybe on other things as well). I wont consider any other type of wearable unless it bases the calories burned on HR at minimum. I have the samsung gear sport as a comparison to my garmin VA3 and ... the gear sport definitely only calculates calories burned based on what type of Activity you select for a workout, its ridiculous. Another question, is the battery life you state w/ screen always on?? if so thats freaking insanely awesome!
Hi there, nice review as usual. Could you please tell me if it supports Google Assistant? With the new microphone/speaker it would be very easy for Huawei to enable this. Cheers.
Has a fitness mode 15 mode if we run it will be the tracks that we are activity already also sub down to another Running Coruse select will run slow, run fast, it can be selected.
Everyone who is reviewing or planning to buy this watch, please note that the Stress level test does not work on IOS app of Huawei Health. I have learnt it the hard way, and waiting for Huawei to get back to me about returning the watch.
You'd fail to mention how long the watch will last while streaking music to your Bluetooth headset. Sleep tracking thus wearing it at night will deplete the batter life. So I'm curious what is the battery life taking this on account ?
first of all wearing it while sleeping you dont have to activate anything it will just work automatic so it will not drain the battery and for the music it working for me very fine still staying with me up to 2 weeks
I just released the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro Review! Check it out: ruclips.net/video/AmYE3LfMfzU/видео.html
I have to
the genuine leather was meant to use in non exercise environment, for excercises use the black silicon like strap. Leather will be stained with perspiration or sweat and eventually will wear out if not used correctly. Its in the manual of GT2 under care and maintenance page. Hope it helps!
be honest. you just wanted to show off how you work out ;)
Haha, I just bought one, then I looked around others how to think about it, so I saw your video
Keep working out bi-atch! 5-4-3-2-1- Do it!
@@murphylin2798 why do you do that after buying a product
shouldn't he have used full range of motion then ?
Needs to improve on his technique, more leg work and increase his training intensity.
your cat is the highlight of the video for me (plus you pretty much solidified my decision in getting this watch)
Came for watch review. The best part? Your interaction with your cat. It definitely likes you
3:02 reminds me of my cat she/he really trusts you. What an incredible cat.
Linus, you've made a tremendous progress not only in tech reviews, but in fitness. Awesome to see such a positive change, keep it up!
felo :)) nie spodziewałem się spotkać cię po takim czasie w przypadkowej recenzji zegarka :D pozdrawia knax z stalingrad :) najlepszego !
@@pawe9301 :)))
Thank you very much! Means a lot!
Brilliant battery performance.
As brilliant as they are, non of the other top smart watches on the market come close when it comes to battery life.
I have used Garmin all the time. Can you sync all activities etc here to Garmin Connect? Strava? Endomondo? I am now looking at Garmin Venu. Looks really nice, but totally different price and battery life.
Hi What are the numbers 2 4 6 8 10 etc round the outside of the watch face?
Thanks
John
Thanks for review. Will you tell me how many Watchfaces are installed in Watch? Can you download more Watchfaces from application?
Fantastic video Linus. The most impressive thing to me is the battery life. The GT Watch 2 lasting 10 days is amazing. I don't mind charging my watch 3 times in a month. Thumbs up given 😉👍
J TheAndroidFreak thanks man!
Nice delivery. Nice mixing of short and long distance shots, close ups and wide FOVs, flowing, factual and to the point description. You have some talent in making videos.
Keep it up!
Thank you for your feedback and support!
hi do you recommend this watch or the amazfit gtr 2?
Does it still count your steps when driving ???? If so how do you stop it ?
What the heck!! That's a phone in a watch!! Freaking impressive
It's a smart watch dude/girl 😕😏 were have you been?? Its 2020 soon
Born yesterday?
Why can't y'all just let someone be happy? Negative for no reason
I agree it is impressive
What is your wrist size?
What about the currentl situation between huawei and google. Is it easy enough to download the huawei app gallery in order to get the updated versions of the HMS and health apps?
The watch itself seems pretty rad and way cheaper than the competition.
Hi,
can I charge it with the original factory cable + a HUAWEI Super Charger? Or is the super charger a bit too strong for this battery?
Thanks for the answer :)
Does it auto track your workout? Or do you have to choose it specificially?
You mentioned the leather strap started to show signs of wear soon. How’s the build quality ?Does it come with a rubber strap as std?
I have a 7.5 wrist, should I go for the 42mm or 46mm?
Hi i am planning to Buy Huawei GT 2, but have checked in revenues that Huawei has App issue and Watch has Bluetooth communication issue with mobile due to which it doesn't show notifications and sys is also not done automatic.
I am using Oppo F7 and going to update for MI or Samsung phone, so are this compatible with Huawei?
Hi, I noticed that your leather band does somewhat have a cut. Is there any durability issue with the leather band ? Thanks
It will show signs of wear pretty quickly if you use the watch for exercising. I work out at least 3 times aa week (humble brag).
Love your cat! I'm getting that same watch free with my new Huawei P40 Pro+ as a free gift. I have tiny wrists and hoping it's not too big! Cheers for the review! 👍🏻
What do u think of it compared to the new TicWatch Pro 2020?
Using the watch since last 5 days... IMPRESSED with the quality.. best thing is SPO2 and Speaker
Is the GPS positioning and other sports such as swimming and triathlon activities work well?
Does it need to be connected to your phone say when running ?
What is your wrist size around?
Were there any issues found with the GPS? I’m interested in buying and I want to know every single thing that’s wrong with it - if there even is.
Would you recommend this or the galaxy watch?
Man the shots you take are so DOPE 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing cinematic shots, superb quality 🔝🔝🔝
no doubt you spend too many hours if not days to make this video.
Respect 👍👍👍
Hey man! I really appreciate your support! Not everyone understands how long it takes to make videos like this. You are right, it takes days! Thanks again!
i'm using iphone and has no intention to pair it with the watch. Does it works well as as standalone sport watch?

You have a relaxing voice to listen to. Very helpful review.
I appreciate that!
Also, is US / Canada barred from updates?
Does it show the pace of your run along with km while you were running?
Yup it does
What option of training you use while doing body weight workout?
Does this watch have the "Always ON Display" feature at full brightness?
Are you sure you can answer calls when far from your phone? I have this watch and love it, but the bluetooth disconnects when im about 10 metres away from my phone.
What about the difference on your experience on leather strap and the rubber/silicone one? Especially involving water sports (swimming) etc.
Thanks for the info Linus. I'm here in the US and I use a Huawei Mate 20X. I Bought a Garmin Vivoactive3 but returned it due to the battery drain is so rapid even with the key functions turned off.

Thanks for watching! I have Garmin Fenix 6S Pro at the moment but it's an overkill for me as I'm not a pro athlete

Can record data without connecting to a smartphone?
Great review and nice pushups, am planning to buy the gt2 . Can it keep up with the big guyz like the apple watch while running , i mean the heart rate accuracy?
Mr Linus will the GT2 work/run Strava app. Hoping you can answer.
No it doesn't work
Too bad. I have samsung Active 2. Great watch all though only 2 days battery life. But has Strava.
The name of the app for the watch ??
What OS does the GT2 use? Third party app support is important
How bout the heart rate for gym? Is it same as garmin does? Heart rate & gps for running?

Can it pair up with iPhone?
Nice review. Does it show altitude?
Excellent smart watch, I just buy Huawei Watch GT2 46mm, I am very happy to use it 24 hours everyday.
Does it work with apps like Strava?
Good review. Very practical information. I just bought the same watch on US eBay for under $170.
Glad it was helpful!
How many clock faces we have?
Hi,

Are the watch faces user-adaptable (ie able to select the complications displayed)?
Thank you.
Thank you fot watch-ing. Nice.
What is it with smartwatches and black edges?
Does it auto read the any sports and physical activities?
Can I charge my watch gt2 with the super charger that came with my Mate 20 pro or will it fry it. 🤔
Wow does it compares with the Amazefit GTR? heart rate accuracy and so on?
This is a better watch. It's got a more advanced workout-tracking, more reliable heart rate sensor and more accurate GPS.
Any tips on where to buy thesame exact leather strap like the one on this video?
Is it compatible with iPhone ?
Thanks for all the info.
I'm in 2 minds between the GT2 and the GT2e. I do like the GT2 more in terms of design.
I've heard that the GT2 has had the update for the SP02?
Which one would you recommend?
I have the Gt2 46mm as well. It's really cute. It can track my sleeping time and tell me on my Huawei Heath app if my sleeping habit is healthy or not.
Hi
Does this watch support any golf apps?
Thanks
Huawei Watch GT 2 waterproof to a depth of 50 meters, making it can swim, count strokes, swim and also check your heart rate during swimming.
