The Watch GT 2 has superb sports-tracking credentials for its price. As well as logging an impressive number of activities and offering handy insights into your workouts, stress, sleep, it'll emphatically outlast any WearOS device and the Apple Watch when it comes to battery life.

Great design and display; Superb sports tracking features; Best-in-class battery life

Limited app support; Poor software; Not cheap

The Watch GT 2 arrives with improvements such as a Kirin A1 processor, 3D glass and increased sports tracking to take on rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 and Apple Watch Series 5.

The Huawei Watch GT 2 has excellent battery life coupled with health and wellness tracking features, but the software needs improvements in order to stand out from the competition.

Great battery life; Attractive design; Excellent fitness tracking;

No third-party apps; No NFC support; Can't customize it much

The Huawei Watch GT 2 is official and offers an additional option for all tech enthusiasts who want to wear a smartwatch on their wrist. But what does it offer and at what price Discover everything in our complete review!

Design and customization; Easy to use; Battery life; Affordable price

GPS sometimes inaccurate; Unnecessary notifications; No Always-on mode

The Huawei Watch GT built a reputation for crazy-long battery life and great health tracking data. The GT 2 continues with that ethos, adding a couple of new features like the always-on lock screen and loudspeaker, making for a great fitness watch.

Really long battery life; Stylish good-looking design; Lots of health tracking data; Vibrant display; Two size options

Watch faces aren't customisable enough; Refresh rate is slow and stutters; Always-on screen only has two styles

We can't stress this point enough: the Huawei Watch GT 2 is actually two smartwatches. The first is the suave but sizeable Watch GT 2 46mm, which packs the headline features: two-week battery and phone call functionality. That’s the one we reviewed. The second, the 42mm Watch GT 2 is a lite version in our eyes, losing out on features, but it’s more elegant. In our month with the 46mm version, we've fallen for its design, and using it as a watch and passive fitness tracker has been great. The battery life is also solid, even if we couldn’t squeeze two weeks out of it. The Watch GT 2 is undeniably less functional than an Apple or Galaxy Watch, and doesn’t play nicely with third-party apps, so won’t be one for serious fitness fiends. If you’re okay with all that though, it’s cheaper and better looking and anything else under £180, and a great passive tracker.

Stunning design; Impressive battery life; Decent value;

Limited third-party support; No app store; No notification interaction;

Huawei's Watch GT has built a reputation for crazy-long battery life and great health tracking data, with the GT 2 continuing that ethos, adding a couple of new features like the always-on lock screen and loudspeaker. That makes it a great fitness watch, but the lack of interactivity means it's still not a fantastic smart watch.

Weeks of battery life, now with always-on display

The Huawei Watch GT 2 is a really great fitness and health companion, covering quite a number of aspects of your fitness, sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, as well as stress feedback throughout the day. I found all of this very useful based on my current needs.
