The Huawei Watch GT2 Pro is a monumental smartwatch, and that’s very clearly by design. See, Huawei knows that people who plan on buying a smartwatch are rather particular in their tastes. A smartwatch has to pull double duty by acting as a tiny tech hub for the user but also serves as a fashion accessory that can be flaunted to all your jealous friends.
It’s a lofty design goal but one that Huawei has channelled into the Watch GT 2 Pro. If you’re looking at the Watch GT 2 Pro and wondering, “Well, what’s so special about this?” then you’ve come to the right place, friend. Let’s take a quick stroll, so we can explain exactly why you should be paying attention to the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro. Spoiler alert: It’s because it’s super cool.
The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro represents the culmination of years of learning and development; it’s a smartwatch built on the backs of consumer needs and feedback to create the most essential device a user could ever need. So how does the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro separate itself from the competition? Well, by being the kind of device that can be used by everyone. It fulfils every need a person could have, going the extra mile to prove that technology really does belong on your wrist.
Fashionable and Functional
Firstly, let’s talk about that design. That problem with most smartwatches is that they’re built to be functional rather than fashionable. They’re often clunky, gaudy and a bit of an eyesore; not exactly what you want in a watch, an accessory that has been seen as a fashion essential for years. It’s with this philosophy in mind that Huawei designed the Watch GT 2 Pro. Taking inspiration from the modern “city” lifestyle, the Watch GT 2 Pro is styled in such a way as to create a minimalist, yet comfortable smartwatch that looks at home in the wardrobe of young and old professionals alike.
Making use of sapphire crystals, the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro stands alongside the most high-end watches you’ll find on the market but rather than looking stuffy and old, it exudes vibrant energy that fits all styles of life. Whether you’re in the boardroom or out and about, the durable, hardened exterior, made out of a strong but light titanium, is built to endure scratches and damage. Meaning you can step out onto the pitch after a long day or work and not have to worry about stashing your Watch GT 2 Pro somewhere safe. Just play on and know it’ll be safe.
There you go, old sport
We know the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro looks good on and off the field but how does the device help elevate your sports life? The Watch GT 2 Pro comes with over 100 different sport modes pre-installed, meaning that whether you’re a golfer or a basketball player, your Watch GT 2 Pro can monitor your performance and help you improve. To elaborate on an earlier example, if you’re a golfer, you can use the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro to monitor your swing, analyse your posture, on-swing and off-swing time and provide constant feedback on how to best improve your game. It’s like having a personal coach strapped to your wrist!
Fitness isn’t just about your physical activity though and Huawei knows this. That’s why they’ve fitted the Watch GT 2 Pro with TrueSleep 2.0, a high-quality sleep monitoring app to ensure you’re getting your rest in. Without bothering the user, the Watch GT 2 Pro can track your sleep stage, breathing speed, calculate the overall quality of your sleep and even provide real-time heart rate monitoring. An essential part of improving your sleep schedule is understanding your bedtime habits and the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro is here to assist.
Low battery anxiety begone!
One of the biggest issues smartwatch owners face is battery anxiety. Constantly worrying about how much life is left in your device and stressing that it’ll die before you’re able to plug it in is no way to live your life. With the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro you never have to worry about the battery, as the smartwatch is able to go two weeks without needing to be charged which is… well, that’s remarkable.
The Watch GT 2 Pro capable of this longevity while also providing 24 hours heart rate monitoring, a weekly workout average of 90 minutes, notifications on (to keep you abreast of messages and emails) and a constant Bluetooth connection to a wireless headset.
One of the features that allows the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro to actually sustain itself on a single charge for so long is the inclusion of Smart Power Saving 2.0. This feature detects what kind of activity you’re engaging in and modify the power-usage of the watch to best suit the occasion, meaning it’ll never be operating at full blast when sleeping and not lagging out when you’re running around the neighbourhood.
Oh, and just in case you weren’t completely sold on the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro’s battery, it’s important to remember that it can be charged with any mainstream smartphone charging station and only 5 minutes of charge will yield 10 hours of use.
The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro is launching in South Africa on 9 November, 2020.
