Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro Review

0

There are a lot of smartwatches that are available in the market already and some of them are really affordable but there are a few number of smartwatches that are premium and still jampacked with the features that we want on a smartwatch like the Huawei GT 2 Pro. This is very similar to the Huawei Watch GT 2 series that is now available in the market but this one comes in a more premium package.

First, let’s talk about the design of this one. It comes with a premium and solid build as the Huawei Watch GT2 Pro comes with a sapphire glass for the watch dial which is really premium and solid and I actually bump it to a lot of walls and it didn’t show any scratches or dents on the display.

I can say the same for the titanium body of the watch. It’s solid and it’s really premium and it’s really comparable to the premium  and expensive watches that is out on the market right now. The combination of the titanium and the sapphire makes the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro feature a classic look that is perfect whether you’re just going out or you’re wearing a suit.

As for the back of the watch, we still got here the sensors that we need for the features that we’re gonna talk about later but the back of the watch is made up of ceramic back which again, is really premium compared to the competition. The three materials that was mainly used for the watch says out the quality that we’re getting in here – solid, premium, and elegant.

There are also two buttons on the side of the watch with the upper button lets us access the menu of the watch while the other one is a programmable button in where you can launch an app depending on the one that is programmed in the Huawei health app.

As for the display, we got her ea 1.39-inch OLED display and as expected, the display is good and it’s really vibrant and we can actually see the display even under direct sunlight. The touchscreen is also responsive so I really didn’t had any problems with it. There’s an always-on display too so you don’t need to turn on the watch in case you need to check the time.

The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro also comes with a silicone band that feels like rubber but it’s no cheap material as this one goes well even on a formal suit. I actually love it as I didn’t had any irritations to the skin but I notice that there are some white residues due to sweat but you can clean it after a while.

Since the back of the watch doesn’t have contact points, the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro can only be charged via wireless charging. There’s an included wireless charger meant for the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro and you’ll barely use it as I can get  10-12 days of battery life without the always-on display and a week on always-on display.

The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro features that same software that we can find on other Huawei Watch GT devices which means that this one won’t come with 3rd party app support which is a bummer but don’t worry because this one does have a lot of features that we all need on a Smartwatch.

First, we need the Huawei Health App to work with this watch. Then you can check out the different features that we have on the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro including workout that covers a lot already including indoor activities. There’s a new feature too on the Watch GT 2 Pro called the golf driving range mode in where it can analyze your swing posture and provide data to improve your swing in golf. I’m not a golfer but this is a nice feature that golfers would really love on the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro.

As for the tracking, we can track a lot here as we got here a heart rate sensor, Sp02, stress tracker, sleep tracking, Air Pressure, Compass, and even VO2max for workouts. There’s a GPS inside this watch too which is a plus for runners or bikers as they can track their workouts in the Huawei Health app. As expected, the workout modes and the sensors work pretty well and they’re pretty good.

One of the reasons why we have a good tracking feature on this one is the usage of Kirin A1 processor inside which means that the sensors can work perfectly and the software would run fine on the smartwatch. This is also the reason why we have a really good battery life on the Huawei Watch GT 2 pro.

Despite having a silicone strap and experiencing some white residues on the watch, the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro comes with a water resistance of 5 ATM which means that this one comes can be worn even in the shower or just washing your hands.

Verdict

There are a lot of Huawei Watch that are available in the market and they come in the same software but what sets this Huawei Watch different from the others is that this one is premium and it goes well whatever you wear. It comes with a sapphire glass, titanium build, and a ceramic back. Those materials can be mostly found on expensive watches but thankfully, we can now get one in a affordable smartwatch in the form of the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro.

The battery life of this one is also great and as expected, the sensors work pretty well and the tracking on the application is really good. However, there’s still a lack of 3rd party support here but honestly, I don’t need to use those 3rd party apps as the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro already works perfectly fine for me.

The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro is now available for Php11,999.

Moreover, the OLED displays will be integrated directly onto the chip for efficiency and space savings. Apple has also reportedly hired AU Optronics, the OEM for most monitor brands such as BenQ, ASUS, AOC, to work for the 1-inch OLED displays.
