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).
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?
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 :)
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
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.
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?
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 !
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.
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
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
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.
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
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?
I had it 2 days ago and highly satisfied with the deal Thanks for your review

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.
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)
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???
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?
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
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 ❤️💕💓
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?
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?
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?
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.
So, the most important difference between GT2 and GT2e, is that GT2e comes without the speaker or mic? And the GT2e is more sportive, etc? Is that man? thaks and wait your help.
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.
I purchased one last week and screen has gone into lock screen mode and I can't undone it, gone through with everything and heading to store tomorrow for solution, it doesn't last 14 in terms of battery 8 is the max
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.
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?
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've had this watch since Friday, and it's well worth the money.
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.
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.
It's a great watch and the best company reward goes to (HUAWEI) 🔥🔥🔥
Yes absolutely

Exactly, totally unacceptable from Huawei.
Agree

Do you think it's worth to upgrade to this version over watch gt1?

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 =)
How if compared with Garmin watch? Which one is better for accuracy in calculating distance of running or walking distances?
Great unboxing and hands on review as always stay safe 🙏

Why no one does reviews on accuracy on watches. That’s what really matters right? I’m looking for a watch with accurate sensors.
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.

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've had it nearly a week now, the exact same model and I'm well chuffed with it
Good Day, is it compatible to other brand of Smartphone?
I think you should upgrade to a 60fps camera because its jittering a bit. Other than that, great 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?
Is it always-on display auto disabled when you go to sleep? Can work with Apple and their Health app? Thanks
Does it tell you direct when you are stressed ? So you know that you need to stress down?

The GT (one) certainly has. It's switched on and off in the Huawei Health app

Is this watch can connect to a bluetooth 5.0 phone?
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 please tell me how many alarms it can take? Thanks
Great job of explaining the technology and working of the watch.
Can you not take calls directly on the watch ? I'm surprised by this because you can with GT2.
Did the workout auto detect work for you? I tried running outdoor and it didn't automatically track my workout.
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
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.
I am going to buy one
Now £59.99 arriving tomorrow, looking forward to using it.
Is it worth to buy this watch right now at the end of 2023 ?
Is this available in the United States
I don't believe so since Trump banned 🚫 Huawei
Hi sir. Does this huawei gt2e got ecg & ppg function?
Better than normal GT2?
Where can I purchase the watch in the US or get one to the US? Do you have a link?
So, the most important difference between GT2 and GT2e, is that GT2e comes without the speaker or mic? And the GT2e is more sportive, etc? Is that man? thaks and wait your help.
Calling option is avlbl?
Does this smartwatch can be used on redmi note 8?
