Huawei Watch GT2 Pro it's the latest variant of a product that continues to grind in sales and praise. The smartwatch of the Chinese giant has managed to conquer consumers thanks to a rather clear strategy: fewer applications than the competition and no dedicated store, but a battery that lasts two weeks. All this without giving up practically anything. We talk about it in this one review.
Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro recensione
Huawei Watch GT2 Pro it was announced in September and its goal was quite clear: to win over the most demanding consumers. We are not talking about functionality but about design because it is precisely this aspect that distinguishes the Pro variant from its younger brothers, namely Watch GT 2 and GT 2e.
Design
Aesthetically we are faced with a clock attention to every detail. The lines are very biting and essential but it is the materials that make it stand out. The case is in titanium, scratch resistant and accompanied by a matte finish; the keys - located on the right - are knurled; the lower surface is ceramic and houses the sensors for detecting the heartbeat and oxygenation of the blood.
The strap is made of leather and with universal attachment, which allows you to change it to better match your tastes. Great attention also for thel 1,39 inch display, protected by sapphire crystal and embraced by a ring with the hour markers.
Finally, let's not forget water resistance up to 5 ATM, at temperatures down to -20 and + 45 ° C and humidity between 5 and 95%.
All of these elements not only return a premium feeling to Watch GT 2 Pro but make Huawei's latest smartwatch solid, strong and designed to last. In daily use then it still results more comfortable than its already comfortable predecessors.
But pay attention to the size: they are quite generous and tend to marry better with male wrists rather than female ones. The weight, on the other hand, is surprisingly low: only 52 grams (without strap).
Technical features
Let's abandon aesthetics to talk about the technical data sheet. To animate the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro is the processor Kirin A1. The name perhaps does not tell you anything but know that Huawei has used it for different wearables with more than satisfactory results. Alongside it we find Bluetooth 5.1, GPS / Glonass / Galileo and a flood of sensors. No NFC but it would make no sense to insert it anyway. In fact, at the moment Huawei does not have its own payment platform active in Italy so it would have been rather superfluous.
On board we find 4 GB of internal memory that no, they are not used to install other applications. As anticipated, the operating system is highly armored but on the other hand you can take advantage of the space for keep your favorite songs. The purpose is clear: you can go out to train without your smartphone without giving up listening to some music, perhaps by connecting headphones directly to the watch.
We also point out the presence of speaker and microphone to answer phone calls even when you are away from your smartphone. Let me be clear: it is not independent. It doesn't have a SIM or eSIM. Simply received phone calls can be diverted to the smartwatch so you can converse with it. A bit like James Bond. The call quality is truly amazing: you hear perfectly and your interlocutor will understand you without any problems.
The display completes the picture, an AMOLED with a resolution of 454 × 454 pixels. It is touchscreen, very responsive and has a good brightness, so you can use it safely even in the sun.

Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro review: how does it work?
So far we have talked about smartwatch but in reality it is not the most correct definition. The GT 2 series winks at the world of sports watch, that is, smart watches dedicated to tracking physical activity.
What does he do? First of all supports 100 different sports. There is really everything and in some cases you can even count on a digital coach that communicates with you to mark distance, time, pace and more.
Do you want more? On Android the Huawei Health application - essential to configure Watch GT 2 Pro - also provides a series of guided training sessions dedicated to running enthusiasts, so you can count on a predefined program to reach 4 possible goals: 5 km, 10 km, 25 km or - for the more ambitious - the marathon.
Aren't you so sporty? Don't worry, you can also count on the classic tracking of steps, calories burned and distance traveled. Then there are heart rate, blood oxygenation and sleep.
But are the data reliable? Absolutely yes. Even SpO2, a rather difficult figure to detect, is improved. The tracking of sleep and heart rate are also improved compared to the past. All this information can then be found and consulted through the aforementioned Huawei Health app which, among other things, allows you to change the settings of the smartwatch and change the quadranchoosing yourself from the many options available to you. You are almost spoiled for choice but you will surely find something to suit your style and any type of situation.
Finally, let's not forget the traditional features. We have a number of app integrate such as stopwatch, timer, weather, alarm, flashlight and more. Plus you can count on notifications. But keep in mind that they can only be read, you cannot reply.
Autonomy
As anticipated, autonomy is one of the strengths of Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro from 8 to 14 days depending on the use you make of it, which allows you to forget the charger at home without worrying too much about running out of water.
Once the battery is exhausted you can take advantage the induction charging base which is much more comfortable than the previous ones. There is no "right way". You support it and that's it.
