Hi - I prefer my GT2 as I like the fact that I can answer calls on it as the speaker and microphone are pretty good. Nice an loud and clear!! Only thing I feel is missing is the fact it has no standard answering phrases or mojo's you can use...... The Battery live is outstanding and overall the watch is great so far!!
After the update to the Huawei Health app on 1st May, you now need to install the Huawei mobile services app and create an account. The mobile services app does not add anything to the experience of using Huawei Health. It does take up room on your phone and I have heard of reports of it slowing down the operation of the phone. Check the mobile services app's comments on Google Play. The mobile services app also collects various data; including your phone number which you need to use to create an account and your password. Not sure if that is your phone password or not. Pity, a decent product crippled by intrusive and useless software. My Huawei smartwatch has been ditched.
Right about slowing down phones. After installing HMS Core, Chrome is very sluggish and crashing. And installing HMS Core requires that you allow your phone to install third party apps, not good.
The Strava and Samsung Health apps also force you to install GMS (Google's core apps) and wrt Strava, even Google Maps - so if one is going for the alternative watches, the situation is pretty much the same. The only exception may be Amazfit (without syncing to Strava).
Got this baby for Black Friday at just 80 euros. Looks like the absolute best value for money at this price, very excited for my first smart watch. Mostly looking to track my sleep, hope it does a decent job
Hey, I'd just like to thank you for saving me an extra 20 pounds, I was gonna get it from Amazon @ 100 pounds when your comment prompted me to check Huawei's website - it turned to be cheaper at 80 + you get a free speaker with it! Cheers :)
Love my GT2's design as it looks like a normal watch. I don't like the GTe design as it just looks like a 1st gen GT with that bezel, plus it has no speaker/mic.
Why would you want the speaker/mic when you have a phone for calling? I know that it could be usefull when the phone is wet or when you are driving but the people calling you can wait and if its really important you knew the call would come most of the time.
I am thinking of changing from a traditional watch to a smartwatch. Newbie question, does this smartwatch have time laps feature? And can you transfer such time laps data straight to the phone and laptop by Bluetooth?
Just ordered one for £69! From amazon. Not bothered about the speaker and mic of the gt2, ill use bluetooth headphones and my phone for calls. Biggest reason I've got one is i often miss calls or texts while working.
Does it has the gesture feature that the old Huawei watch had and the GT was missing? Meaning: can I just do gesture with my arm to see the notification without touching the watch?
Considering I got my gt2 46mm (non E) at a fair price (159€) during Huawei's april sales, I'd s say the GT2e is not such great of a deal. I'd rather have the possibility to make phone calls with my watch. As for the rest of the specs, the two are pretty much the same. In the end of the day, it all comes to wether you like the youth/sporty design or the phonecalls on your GT2. Great review anyway !
Hello. I have a Xiaomi Mi9 Phone. Is it easy possible to connect it with this watch? Can you also control spotify with it to skip for example a song during your excersise?
Hi, can you have the workout app running at the same time with the music app? That is, having one running in the background and having the music app active to control your music? Thank you.
What about the straps? are they only interchangeable between each other or can you use any 22mm strap on it like with the GT2? It's the only thing that's keeping me from getting one myself, since I'd like to also use more elegant straps with my smartwatch
It vibrates on your wrist, but no speaker or ring tone. It's enough to let you know something has happened on your phone without letting the world know too. (GT One)
Sir, the stress on Gt2E does work automatically or u press stress and u test it, i mean as the oxygen(spo2). I mean when u want to test stress, should i do it from the watch or from the app?
i have this problem. I get all app notifications with the same icon . The sms icon. I dont get the app icon like you show in the video when you look at the twitter notification . You can see the twitter icon . Is there a fix for this?
I have a question about this watch though, does it use a capacitve screen or a resistive screen, I have the mi band 4 and ir uses a resistive screen and it sucks
Can I connect it to my Samsung. If yes what are the steps to do it? Cud u please tell me . Regards

Hi! I have a Samsung Watch, but I want to replace it with this Huawei GT2e primarily because of the much stronger battery life in Huawei's case and because of the way Samsung sits on my hand. Samsung is not comfortable during sleep and it really hurts my hand. I heard there's a problem pairing the Huawei watch with a Samsung phone. I have Samsung Note 10+ and I want to ask if it is enough to install the Huawei Health app from Google Play or I have to do other installations. I wouldn't want to buy a product I can't enjoy because of the incompatibility.
Hi how does the GT 2E compare to the FITBIT CHARGE 4, in terms of tracking data during workouts. The charge 4 is very extensive, would like to know the GT2E ON THAT
Hello sir I have one question. I have Huawei gt2e watch, if I not wearing my watch automatic turning off after 5 days ?? Why like that this is the normal if I'm not wearing automatic turn off???
My samsung a50 bluetooth couldn't find the watch via huawei health(the app updated),when i tried Huawei p 19 smart and recognized the watch in a seconds. What can i do?
Oh God, my GT2 *can* answer and make calls and has got a speaker. I don't need to mention how many times I've taken calls on my Watch. I was never a smartwatch person but Huawei GT2 changed my mind.
If you download the Huawei Health app (available on Huawei and Google App shops) you can see all the watch faces available on the app. They change with every update of the app.
If i walk away from my phone and bluetooth got disconnected, will it reconnect automatically when I get back or is there something that needs to be done first to connect them back?
Will the watch be compatible with a Samsung phone or would a Samsung galaxy active 2 be better? I am planning to get one for xmas and want to make the right choice. All opinions welcome, thank you
Only thing that annoys me a bit is generate standard blue balloon with 2 white lines notification icon for Viber, Outlook, Skype and some 3rd apps... (only Instagram, Gmail and Massenger work with app icons). Is it possible to differentiate this in future updates? Also, are there ever be more AOD faces? Thanks.
hi would like to ask if for example, your headphone is connected to the watch and the watch is connected to phone, can you still talk to your headphone when someone calls you?
Probably because it varies from watch to watch even if branded the same. Where on your wrist and how firmly against any pulse point etc. It definitely varies from watch to phone, sometimes by more than 1000 steps over a day. For instance, if I push a trolly around the supermarket, my watch records 300 steps where my phone registers 1200. Probably the angle I hold my wrists when pushing the trolley. I have seen reviews of step accuracy on other reviews and they're pretty much in the same ballpark plus or minus 10%. How accurate do you need to count steps? Is there really that much calorific difference between 10,000 steps and 10,500?
Steven Lucas what be nice to know what kind of sensors watches have. If they are the same technology or different. For instant when I’m buying a pc I’m looking at the processor, different brands have the same, or when picking a android phone what chipset, I would like if the reviewers discuss what is in the watches. When versa 2 goes to versa 3, would like to know it’s a better tech inside and not just an addition of gps... hope it makes sense I’m not a tech guy but I look at these things
My girlfriend just surprised me today with HUAWEI WATCH GT2e, the red band and also bought me extra magnetic wrist as bonus. Thanks to Huawei I can't stop loving you guys ❤️💕💓
Great review! My sister bought one last week, but today she decided it's a bit too big for her. So guess who just got a cheap one :D - it is waterproof too isn't it? I don't remember you mentioning that.
I have the Yeah Way ............ Oh wait wrong youtuber. Huawei Watch GT1 with two months and I absolutely love it. The only problem with the GT1 is lack of storage so you can only upload four watch extra faces from the health app on to it. Also the Huawei watch faces for the watch are bloody awful. I managed to find a tutorial on Facebook how to upload custom watch faces to my watch so I have a very nice Casio type watch face on the phone. Also Huawei updated the firmware of the watch last week. With most unnecesary things disabled I am now getting three weeks from a full battery charge.
Hi - I prefer my GT2 as I like the fact that I can answer calls on it as the speaker and microphone are pretty good. Nice an loud and clear!! Only thing I feel is missing is the fact it has no standard answering phrases or mojo's you can use...... The Battery live is outstanding and overall the watch is great so far!!
I have the first Gen GT and still happy with it since the battery life gives me just about 2 weeks and a bit. 👍🏼
Mine too. 14 days easy. 17 if I want to push the battery down to 10% or less. Realy depends on button presses.
I've had this watch since Friday, and it's well worth the money.

Exactly, totally unacceptable from Huawei.
Agree

What glass does this watch have? Is it pretty rugged or prone to scratching?
I've had my GT (one) since September 2019. No problems with the screen. Any 46mm circular screen protector will work nicely. 2 for a quid on Ebay.
Great unboxing and hands on review as always stay safe 🙏
Love my GT2's design as it looks like a normal watch. I don't like the GTe design as it just looks like a 1st gen GT with that bezel, plus it has no speaker/mic.
looks like a 1st gen GT?
hell no!
GT1 is classic.
Why would you want the speaker/mic when you have a phone for calling? I know that it could be usefull when the phone is wet or when you are driving but the people calling you can wait and if its really important you knew the call would come most of the time.
I love the review. It was great seeing you out there doing those pushups! Peace.
i guess it is kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Franco Pedro Try FlixZone. You can find it on google =)

It's a great watch and the best company reward goes to (HUAWEI) 🔥🔥🔥
Yes absolutely
Does it has the gesture feature that the old Huawei watch had and the GT was missing? Meaning: can I just do gesture with my arm to see the notification without touching the watch?
The GT (one) certainly has. It's switched on and off in the Huawei Health app

Great review anyway !
Do you think it's worth to upgrade to this version over watch gt1?
What app you have to use in Google pixel 6 Pro for this watch??! Thanks
I had it 2 days ago and highly satisfied with the deal
Thanks for your review
Hello. I have a Xiaomi Mi9 Phone. Is it easy possible to connect it with this watch? Can you also control spotify with it to skip for example a song during your excersise?
Hi, can you have the workout app running at the same time with the music app? That is, having one running in the background and having the music app active to control your music? Thank you.
How if compared with Garmin watch? Which one is better for accuracy in calculating distance of running or walking distances?
4:02 which phone is it?
Huawei P40 pro
What about the straps? are they only interchangeable between each other or can you use any 22mm strap on it like with the GT2? It's the only thing that's keeping me from getting one myself, since I'd like to also use more elegant straps with my smartwatch
where can I buy one in Canada
Sir, since it doesn't have mic and speaker, still can it ringing?for example when alarm has actived or when the screen shows incoming call..
It vibrates on your wrist, but no speaker or ring tone. It's enough to let you know something has happened on your phone without letting the world know too. (GT One)
Can you put reminders in it without using a smartphone?
Is this available in the United States
I don't believe so since Trump banned 🚫 Huawei
Does it support always on display? Thanks
Sir, the stress on Gt2E does work automatically or u press stress and u test it, i mean as the oxygen(spo2). I mean when u want to test stress, should i do it from the watch or from the app?
Which watch face are you using in 2:50? Thanks for the video
Hi there, I really like this device. Have you had an opportunity to pair it with an iPhone and can you recommend it for use with this platform??
i have this problem. I get all app notifications with the same icon . The sms icon. I dont get the app icon like you show in the video when you look at the twitter notification . You can see the twitter icon . Is there a fix for this?
I have a question about this watch though, does it use a capacitve screen or a resistive screen, I have the mi band 4 and ir uses a resistive screen and it sucks
Where can I purchase the watch in the US or get one to the US? Do you have a link?
Good Day, is it compatible to other brand of Smartphone?
Is the screen scratch resistant?
hello,
Howcan I answer phone calls through my GT2e?
When I receive a call I get only that red button to cancel the call.
You need earbud for answer call
does it have an inbuilt GPS? can you run without your phone and track distance?
Does it tell you direct when you are stressed ? So you know that you need to stress down?
Can I connect it to my Samsung. If yes what are the steps to do it? Cud u please tell me . Regards

i like the graffiti/comic styles watch face on 01:20 / 02:04, any idea whats it called ?
If you download the Huawei Health app (available on Huawei and Google App shops) you can see all the watch faces available on the app. They change with every update of the app.
Lite version of gt 2 but with more sports programs. Its great that they made battery life same as on gt2. The most important thing.
Can you answer calls if you have Bluetooth headphones connected?
I have been waiting for that one from you, thanks 😉
If i walk away from my phone and bluetooth got disconnected, will it reconnect automatically when I get back or is there something that needs to be done first to connect them back?

Can you use facer or android wear
Sorry if I miss this. Is this watch compatible with the Samsung note 10 plus???? If so does it require a huawei app etc???
Did the workout auto detect work for you? I tried running outdoor and it didn't automatically track my workout.
I've had it nearly a week now, the exact same model and I'm well chuffed with it
Please suggest me does it show accurate step count ????
Great job of explaining the technology and working of the watch.
Only thing that annoys me a bit is generate standard blue balloon with 2 white lines notification icon for Viber, Outlook, Skype and some 3rd apps... (only Instagram, Gmail and Massenger work with app icons). Is it possible to differentiate this in future updates? Also, are there ever be more AOD faces? Thanks.
hi would like to ask if for example, your headphone is connected to the watch and the watch is connected to phone, can you still talk to your headphone when someone calls you?
There are some difference between to use gt2e whit another phone Android and gt2e whit Huawei phon?
Hi sir. Does this huawei gt2e got ecg & ppg function?
Does it have GPS inbuilt or it is gps tethered through your phone? I.e. do I need to bring my phone when I got on a run to map it?
Great gps on watch and can store music's so ditch that phone for workouts
Why no one does reviews on accuracy on watches. That’s what really matters right? I’m looking for a watch with accurate sensors.

how about google maps, or waze? its work fine?
@ASBTY what camera are you using on this vlog? I love the pixels ❤️
If I do exercise without taking my phone near me or establishing a bluetooth connection, would my location information be displayed?
Hi bud I notice that the watch looks big what size is your wrist ?
My girlfriend just surprised me today with HUAWEI WATCH GT2e, the red band and also bought me extra magnetic wrist as bonus. Thanks to Huawei I can't stop loving you guys ❤️💕💓
Can I check whether the SPO2 function and stress level function work on iOS? I’m using an iphone to run this GT 2e. Thanks!
Is this gt2e available for open water swim in ocean?
Great review! My sister bought one last week, but today she decided it's a bit too big for her. So guess who just got a cheap one :D - it is waterproof too isn't it? I don't remember you mentioning that.
Yep! Up to 50 meters
It looks amazing.. I have always liked the looks of the Huawei GT watches..
Is this watch can connect to a bluetooth 5.0 phone?
The watch frame is black or space gray?
Now £59.99 arriving tomorrow, looking forward to using it.
Loved the review mate
Hi, As I had seen your last video about Huawei watch GT2 42mm, from your personal opinions Huawei watch GT2e which will be a better buy?
How far does your phone has to be for connection?
Do we get notification like any issues in vital?
This or ticwatch 3 pro? I'm leaning towards ticwatch because I like the style
Very different price range.
I may take huawei gt2e or honor watch 2 46mm plz help
Can you export your tracking data? And to import it in Relieve app? Can you create Relieve video?
I think you should upgrade to a 60fps camera because its jittering a bit. Other than that, great review!
Can you link your huawei freebuds 3 to the watch to listen to Spotify?
I have the Yeah Way ............ Oh wait wrong youtuber. Huawei Watch GT1 with two months and I absolutely love it. The only problem with the GT1 is lack of storage so you can only upload four watch extra faces from the health app on to it. Also the Huawei watch faces for the watch are bloody awful.

Does the 2e have the one hop feature that the gt2 pro has?
Calling option is avlbl?
Does this smartwatch can be used on redmi note 8?
Can you tell me where u got your chair from as im after a gaming chair
I have bought this on amazon and its just sitting there on my shelf. As I pre-ordered it, i got a Huawei Freebuds lite for free along with it.
I'm planning to buy it now. Having the same offer on Amazon India. How is it as a smart watch?
Can you not take calls directly on the watch ? I'm surprised by this because you can with GT2.
does this support the golf thing? i want to gift this for my father
Will it work with any Android mobile?
