The Huawei Watch GT2 now has 4 Standby-Watchfaces, GT only 2 of them, but both have the same VERY stylish analog watchface with white & red pointers on black background. Both also feature auto-adjustment of the brightness of the always-on-display which works really nicely. For me the always-on display really really makes the Huawei watches stand out, they look very cool with the display turned on! And ... my GT and my GT2 both run more than a week with always-on display and GPS use for outdoor sports !
I have a Galaxy Watch and a Watch GT, for me, the "no speaker" on the Watch GT is the deal breaker, it's soooo comfortable to be able to answer the phone without taking it out of the bag or run to the other room, which is why the Watch GT is in it's box waiting to become a Christmas gift or something ;) However, the Watch GT got better sleep tracking, the Galaxy Watch thinks I'm sleeping when I watch the TV, so it's a lot of "editing" of my sleep time. No problems on the Watch GT for that. The Watch GT got very limited watch faces, while the Galaxy Watch got as many as you want and it's fairly easy to make your own.
I have GT1 and apple series 3. Apple watch lot of features but draw back is that daily you need to charge. Now I got GT2 which is pretty much better then apple and GT1. I daily walk/ jogg plus 4 Km. I do not carry my phone while walking due to inbuilt GPS and listen music too which is pretty cool.
Good video and channel.. I have the gt2 and love it. I wasn't bothered with smartwatch until this year, used to be put off by short battery life and no water resistant. Then this watch came out and I got it bundled with the excellent freelace earphones.. I've been so happy with this watch. Im getting 10 days battery and was wearing it frequently in pool, jacuzzi and sauna with no problem until lockdown😢
What smartwatch is your favourite one ? To be honest I think i will try the apple watch in december when i get an iphone for testing. But the Huawei watch is actually pretty good priced for what it offers. Thanks to Huawei for sponsoring both watches for the review !
Garmin by far, unfortunately way pricier as well. Waiting for Huawei to be able to connect to 3rd party apps like Strava, until then I'll stick with my Garmin.
Can any Huawei watch or health app itself auto detect whenever you are on the bicycle? I have used Google fit on Nokia 3.2 up till recently and it auto tracked my rides, but I can't get it to work on Huawei P smart Z.
I actually like the looks of the GT a lot more than the GT2. It looks more premium imo. Also the Watch GT is $100 at Amazon right now. No brainer at that price point!
In the UK right now it's £80 with a mini bt speaker as a gift. The GT2 is available for £150. I'm struggling to see why I should pay nearly double for the extra features.
I just bought this for $100 AUD or $73 US or £56 the GT version that is. I do think it looks alot more premium than the GT 2, it also has screen protection for the ceramic ring around the watch keeps the watch face from touching any surface. Also the one I purchased has the brown leather strap and looks really classy. It hasn't got as many features as my LG smart watch, but I'll take battery life over features any day.

Any idea how this watch functions in open water? It's ATM5 and marketed as a swimming / triathlon watch, but I can't find any info about GPS accuracy. Also not about how the touchscreen reacts when wet.
Using the watch for a month. Going to the swimming pool twice per week and recording data. Went underwater ~4meters, stayed in water 2hours+... no problems. No problems with the touch.
liking the look only issue im wondering about is with the new Glass watch face that goes all way to edge of watch how is it with accidental clothing contact on the screen? with the GT! you had the raised bezil which stopped the accidental clothing movement activating screeen.? had the issue with the Huawei Watch 2 where my coat would stop my music or change songs by my clothing moving on the screen.
Hi. Does it has function to set our target heart rate during exercise, so that when our hr hit that target the watch will trigger alarm or vibrate or something..
Is health issue measurements such as heart rate and others improving? I'm just wondering whether the 'space' where microphone and speaker are, not just collecting dirt and not easy to clean?
Great video, great watch too. Can you tell me how to change the default alarm tone on the watch instead of the screeching bats or birds? Or better still, sync the alarm I have on my phone (Honor 8) to the watch instead? Thanks!
I used to have Xiaomi Amazfit Pace smart watch and one of the feature I loved, was navigating during an activity (e.g. cycling) using preloaded GPX file.

Mee too pre-order the watch and got free Bluetooth headset watch is great but battery life is 10 days and the think i dispointed that no watch face options i app in uae and some other countries i don't know why ? I am tired of using limited watch face
the calorie counter is wrong/inaccurate, same with the step counter and no resting calories are counted too. really disappointing as otherwise GT2 is amazing
I bought the GT1, very disappointed that no video ever told that it CAN NOT measure heart rate while swimming. Can the GT 2 do it? thank you in advance
Tnx alot for your excellent video in comparison between the 2,i got the GT coz is cheeper,bought it in BF for 119 euros instead of 199 was before BF.Greetings from Greece.
I currently have an Amazfit Bip which I love but I'd like a bigger screen due to poor eyesight AND the big bugbear for me is the lack of multi-tasking. Often I use a countdown timer and as long as that is running I cannot move to another mode which is a major, major PITA. Also when running the timer it is very easy to accidentally activate the screen and pause the countdown. I'd love a watch with the GT2 screen size and quality but with multi-tasking. Why on earth has this not been implemented for this higher spec watch? Baffling???
Hey Steven! Can I connect the GT 2 with a Bluetooth speaker? So I can listen to music out loud. And if I run can I get a notification every km like with the Nike app? Thank you!
Why does non of the reviews out there mention the fact that GT2 doesn't count the resting calories? I've watched numerous reviews and nobody mentions it. The watch is fitness focused and doesn't count resting calories. How is that even possible? Total calorie count is super important from people who are into fitness and this watch doesn't have it. It's ridiculous.

@@8balldave3 well sometimes in rare cases when i chill on the couch the gt2 thinks i sleep if i dont move alot and got a lower hearbeat. Its not 100% perfect but good enough
I think heuwei has to think about their apps as their a Chinese basis country even know majority of Chinese use what'sapp and Wechat not installed is the onside. Paying tap would be an option but this watch is expensive in Australia as its $400Aud at the local Electrical stores and Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm is $250Aud
I feel that smoothness and fluidity of GT touchscreen is much better than GT2.
This I also noticed.

Can you answer calls on Huawei watch?
The GT2 isn't worth almost double the price of the GT.
That is what im thinking
Ye
My gt 2 lasts about 10 days....my Apple Watch 4 I feel I have to charge it at least once every 24 to 30 hours.

Thumbs up for your Budapest Sziget Fesztivál shirt 👍🏻
Do these watches still count steps when you are driving ? Only no one ever mentions it
I don't know if it's only me but mine always leave a black spot on my hand for days if not weeks and it always itches me.
Strap interchangeable for both the generations?
For fitness and looks which one is better. The Huawei watch gt2 or the honor magic watch 2?????
Hey, is it possible to take split/round time? When out jogging or someting.
Does gt2 have spo2 ?
Can it measure oxygen in the blood?
Can i use Huawei watch GT straps with GT2 is that the same size ?

Yes

Yes

Huawei has very accurate Heart rate algorithm

Can you take what's app or telegram calls ie not just voice. Can you also switch off Bluetooth and only enable it when you want to sync
Do they have Strava integration yet?
Love it!!! Battery life 2 weeks!!!
It depends: if you use it as a normal watch, most of the time, you can easily reach 3 weeks.
When you said it is 5atm water resistant for 10 minutes at a time does that mean you can only be swimming for 10 minutes?
Pretty sure that means it can only be kept at max depth for 10 minutes. Swimming at the surface should be limitless.

Hi.. How do you turn off the GPS on the gt
By turning off the location on your phone.
Why the 46mm classic version is much more expensive?
i guess of the more "premium" look.
I think it's because of the installed speakers and voice module for receiving calls.
Long lasting battery. 2 weeks on 46 mm and 1 week on 42 mm
the calorie counter is wrong/inaccurate, same with the step counter and no resting calories are counted too. really disappointing as otherwise GT2 is amazing
I have the gt gen 1 and I struggle with heart rate and messages as I have tattoos. Does anyone know if this has be rectified on the gt2.
No, all the watches has the same problem
At least for me there are icons showing where the different app notifications are originating from. Possibly a feature that was later added
Nice video man. quick question in the up date include the oxygen levels? Thanks
Is the Huawei watch GT getting the SPO2 measurement feature in future firmware updates?
No
