Huawei Watch GT 2e goes official w/ more health features GL-NEWS

Huawei has made itself a pretty big force in the wearables thanks to its Watch GT models, and now alongside the P40 series launch, there’s a new version. The Huawei Watch GT 2e delivers a more sporty design, some new health features, and more.

In terms of its design, the Huawei Watch GT 2e still offers a round display, but with an updated black or silver body and new silicone bands. Some of those silicone bands copy the Apple Watch with holes throughout. Personally, I really like the “Chestnut Red” colorway.

With the software, Huawei has added some new watchfaces and, more importantly, a bunch of new health features. The Huawei Watch GT 2e adds blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) support for the first time. On top of that, there are 100 workout modes including 15 professional workout modes for both indoor and outdoor activities. Notably, Huawei has also added a “Cycle Tracking” mode for female users.

The Watch GT 2e also offers up 2 weeks of battery life, has a 1.39-inch OLED display, 4GB of storage, 5ATM water resistance, and weighs just 43 grams without its strap.

Huawei’s latest smartwatch also spices things up with its new watch faces. By introducing new motion watch faces, which complement fluidity and action when the user is on the move, Huawei is offering even more customisation. Additionally, the new dual time zone theme helps users to stay connected with friends, family and colleagues around the world.

The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e supports 15 professional workout modes including eight outdoor activities (running, walking, mountain climbing, hiking, trail running, cycling, open water swimming, triathlon) and seven indoor activities (walking, running, cycling, pool swimming, free training, elliptical machine, rower). In professional workout modes, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e provides comprehensive monitoring that can track 190 types of data – all to help the users to get the most out of their workout. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e can also automatically detect 6 professional workout modes, offering a smarter sporting experience.

The Watch GT 2e will be available starting in April for €199. It works with Android and iOS.
