@@zidliym9702 have the gt2 and perfectly handles notifications well. You can setup the app notifications from the Huawei Health App as well as download several watch faces. Have mine for more than a year now and it still solid.
Still rocking the Mate 20 Pro here. Still runs like new and camera still competes with the latest flagships. My son has a OnePlus 8 Pro and photos are very similar. Performance is either equal or not perceptible in daily use.
@@helgenx Same here. I've been using my P30 Pro for more than 3 yrs now, and it is still in perfect condition even though the battery is slowly draining. On a scale of one to 10, my phone is still in 9/10. 😊
Well as one who has the GT2 for about a year now I have to say I looove the new look of the GT2 Pro, beside that the GT2 normal is more than enough for me
Gt2 pro on my wrist 3rd day now, sofar so good! Battery 60% first turn on, still haven't charge it yet 32% remaining with display always turned on, no regret from Singapore.
Great review, well presented, very easy to listen to. Actually bought one of these last night, came with “free” Freebuds 3i earbuds and a smart scale all for £249.98, can’t wait for my Christmas present for myself to arrive 👍😍
I got this watch day one, and still wear it 2 years later on a daily basis brilliant battery life and hasn't deminished one bit! still very beautiful and still without a scratch. newer watchs might have a few more gimmicks but it's not worth it personally this is my favourite smartwatch that was released at the time and still holds strong it's a shame it's in the hands of the hauwei brand which I personally thought they made amazing products but since the Google issues it's hard to stay with them ;__; but the health app is still on the Google store and works👍 great stylish smartwatch if you can find it cheap :D the 2 weeks of battery life is amazing 😏
I've had it for four months already, and I just love it. I have to recognize that I am an Apple user. But this watch is by far more beautiful than the apple watch. That's why I chose it. and the battery time gives 10 days while running some applications. Very happy with my GT2 pro.
same here. I'm an Apple fan-boy, but this watch is amazing! I have the Apple Watch 6, but I prefer how simple and straightforward GT2 Pro is. Not to mention that battery that lasts forever..
I'm still rocking the original Watch GT and so far it's been really, I'm not 100% sure how much better the 2 or 2 Pro are, I'd like to see better sleep tracking on the GT as the Fitbit seems better at that.
I’ve been using the watch for close to 2 years and have no regrets. I wanted something scratch resistant, but most important is battery life. Today, i’m still getting about 2 weeks of battery life. Also the watch faces there are a ton more in the huawei app. Paid and free. And zero scratches.
I wouldn't boast nor brag on what you buy as the watch is not only limited, it can't even tell the time without installing an app on your phone with Bluetoth on and you sign up to become a member. You want to know the time, use your phone and let Huawei find other ways to track who you call, what you do, where you go and well the rest, venture a guess.
Great and a very smart watch! Great battery life and far more features than you'll ever need in a watch! After 5 months, not a scratch and it is stunning! The only competition is the Huawei GT 3 Pro.
You are my most most favourite youtuber ❤️❤️❤️ I domt know why i like you that much and i watch all of Videos several time🙂 Take love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩👍
Really liking the content, the watch is great but too pricey for me, so I was looking for an affordable one and I got mine from watchplaystore, google them, fast delivery plus it has a lot of premium smartwatch features and a great design plus a pricepoint that is a lot more acceptable than this one for me :D
My GT2 just over 1 month old. I am interested in GT2 Pro because of the Moon Phase watch face from Huawei direct, not from 3rd party. Does the Watch showing the increasing or decreasing Moon continuously like classical/traditional Moon Phase watch or as written on Huawei website, only the mayor 8 phases, dark, full moon, both quarter and half moon!
Well! For me, it's the better looking and premium design of it. It is really a personal thing that I don't mind spending money to upgrade from GT2 to the GT2 Pro. :)
@@noNamez1950 I agree with you, but agree with Seng Wei Ti too. Compared with GT2 not much different in software and in firmware. I have both, GT2 and GT2 Pro, so I can compare everyday. In term of material mix like Titanium, Sapphire Glass and ceramic base is premium. I like the material mix. Other companies will charge you maybe 200 Euro extra for it. I'm disappointed with the Moon Phase Night wish as well as no improvement in "Trusleep" for sleep monitoring which contains mistakes. Huawei could make of this Watch a real Premium watch in improving few other things. The Moon Phase was the reason for me to buy GT2 Pro because I'm collecting Moon phase watches, mechanical and quartz. It has all Information about the Moon, the implementation is poor compared with Daff Moon App, even poor compared with older watches. A lot of improvement can be done.
Sorry! You already know, by my duzens of comments, that I love 😍 your videos and am a long time follower of your work: but today I have to disagree with you about one simple fact : it's worth an upgrade from the watch gt2 to the watch gt2 pro. I say so because I have one. And I hate to carry the charging disc always with me every single week I go out home for work. I have several wireless chargers which are working flawlessly on my Mate 30 pro and freebuds 3, but never managed to get it done on charging my watch gt2. Now, I decided to get rid of the the damn disc once and for all by upgrading to the watch gt2 pro variant. This is by far the most important upgrade ever done on their linup and I simply love it!
I have an Honor Magic watch 2 and I just got this due to the more premium build and dressy nature. The internals are basically the same, but they are already perfect for me. Some of the watch faces it comes with are stunning. Huwawei UK have it reduced to £229 at the moment with Freebuds 3i bundled as well.
Love the look and durability of this watch. It's a stunner. I really don't want a Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 as they are a rip off, but the lack of NFC payments is a deal breaker for me. It'd be nice to have some of the features like the ECG too.
Just got this Watch on sale for a 100€ - I'm super happy with the design and functionality as an entry to Smart Watches and for the price it's a steal :3
I bought the watch. Thank you. I have a Sound problem. The sound settings. When I go into a meeting, I put my phone into vibration mode. No sounds. The problem is that if a call comes in it rings very loudly on the smartwatch. Weakening and amplifying is a problem every time, because I want to hear beep messages. . Why can't the phone control the sound?
This is a semi smart watch with 2 week battery life. Smart watches give you 2 day battery life. If you're more of an outdoor, camping and hiking guy then this is the clear choice. Honestly, charging my watch everyday or every other day is too troublesome for me.
I take it that you don't own one. No, it's a very smart watch! It has far more features than people need and a great battery life. I use it daily including for exercise and often at full brightness when outdoors. The battery has never gone below 49%! How smart is that....very smart! And yeah, it's stunning to look at and still not a scratch after 5 months!
Love the way you have reviewed the gt2 Pro.im seriously considering whether to go for it or not,after watching your review I'm ever so close in placing an order.
Did anyone know a self winding watch works well, tells time and doesn't have to be connected to a phone via an app that requires you to join and become a member. Its really great pressing the button to know the time and it tells you to connect to your phone but make sure you turn on the bluetooth or it can't tell you the time. Amazing, I just found out my phone tells me the time without a watch.
@@haydo8373 that is also taking an important part.. i was also tempted to buy the COROS Pace 2 for ( technically ) few dollars more.. but here in Indonesia that means couple hundred dollars more due to currency
Great review! Thanks. I love the watch, the presentation, the humour and the Russian Blue! I noted that you used NFC with a Huawei phone; however, I've read that this watch does not support NFC! Or at least I read that it's not possible to pay for things in shops using it as I can with the phone. How do I find out more details? It would be very convenient to be able to link a credit-card to it! So, thanks again. I'm hoping to get one very soon now!
Nice review, but like every review I've seen, including other sponsored ones, you say it comes with 2 straps. Huawei support knows nothing about this and insists it comes with only one (which is what I received). Great watch but Huawei really needs to sort out its advertising comms
Idk about pro, on the non pro, if you take steel strap edotion, which costs more than the silicon strap version. That has 2 straps inside. They have around 5 variations. The smaller ones don't have call connect, and the steel strap ones have a secondary strap ( silicon) The silicon strap colors don't include another silicon strap. If you got yourself a silicon strap version, then this be the same reason. And Huawei are right in saying "that" version doesn't come with 2 straps. If you got a steel strap version then I am completely wrong.
@@l0mustang0l Nah, they offered to let me return the black and swap to the grey leather - but were adamant that doesn't come with a spare silicon like the reviews say. You can't even buy an original strap separately, if the supplied strap breaks you have to return it as a repair and they'll fit a new one. Weird service philosophy and not great to give wrong info to reviewers, but great watch
Good review, thanks! Helped me to decide. I have GT2 Pro for about 2 months. I am very happy with how they look and the materials. Sensors are quite precise. I use them mainly for sports tracking and health monitoring, I really like how long the battery lasts. Route back feature is good. And I don't mind they are not that "smart". I actually did not want smart watch bothering me all the time with hundreds of features, smartphone is enough :) However, there are some small details that really drag them down. Sports like outdoor cycle and outdoor run do not have auto-pause! Average speed measuring is useless then (you can pause the activity manually, but there is a danger you will forget to un-pause and lose rest of your workout tracking). Also there is no way how to play or control music from IOS device / iphone on the watch. There is no integration with 3rd party apps (but looks like developers are working on it).
Did you try GT2 Pro during strength training (gym, crossfit, HIIT) or during others anaerobic activities? I'm considering to buy GT2 Pro, my main sport activities is in irregulars heart rate rhythms and information about the precision of the heart rate monitoring sensor is necessary for me :)
@@davidpavicevic5523 I do strength, functional, HIIT trainings quite regularly. I would say the GT2 PRO watch sensors are one of those better ones you can have on watch / wrist wearable. I noticed 2x from about 30 trainings that the watch detected heart rate raise with considerable delay, otherwise no problems. After the training it gives you chart of heart rate changes, divides the time of training to time spent in Warm up, Fat burning, Aerobic, Anaerobic and Extreme heart rate zones. Calculates aerobic and anaerobic training effect and suggests recovery time. However, if preciseness of heart rate measurement is crucial for you, I would NOT recommend this watch (or any other watch). Chest strap will probably give you much more precise results. Problem is, that this watch (at least from what I saw in reviews) is not good in integration with other devices, so they will probably not be able to pair with a chest strap.
I can't believe that in the video you tried to take a SPO2 reading on TWO occasions, and both times you didn't wait and show how long it took and how it was displayed.
@@ASBYT Agreed, and no time for that in real life either. This is why it's important to let people know what they are letting themselves in for, and why some of us are looking through review videos in the first place. i.e. to put the specs aside and see it actually work. I'm trying to find a watch that can offer SPO2 measurements with the same speed and accuracy as my cheap finger clip meter. This issue aside, thanks for the review. It's been helpful!
I had this watch but sent it back. It is stunning but you can't change the notification sounds or alarm tone. You're stuck with one standard Huawei tone which really seems crazy. Also you can't reply to messages (preset replies) like you can on the Galaxy Watch which it was bought to to replace. Replying to messages I can live with but I think notification tones are an absolute basic.
Amazing free watch faces! Design is fantastic! Long lasting battery! Accurrate measurement of SpO2 and Heart rate and so many different types of workouts. Great Gt2 Pro!
Love the watch.battery life is awsome,blutoorh music sound 10 out off 10. looks hot!...just hope they add some more apps. love to see a stand alone wifi on the watch with using apps.if not no big deal,the watch is awsome! i will buy the next gt pro 3 ,if they make it look like this gt2 pro...
It doesn't have the features of an iPhone or a Galaxy watch but... it has the best GPS and heart counter in my opinion, lots of activities, I can control music, the phone quality is superb and battery life is great. I've got a watch GT2 that I'm now selling for £80 almost new
Excellent review. Does the watch tracks total calories or only active calories? I had the previous version, and it only gave me the active calories. Thank you.
Thanks for the review. I am using the 2nd generation. I already ordered this one because of the sapphire glass that won't scratch, the titanium body and the ceramic back cover. Truly awesome.
I really like its design with a titanium body, crystal sapphire glass and ceramic backing. Anyway, my Galaxy Watch is still good although tits battery life has a little bit problem, so I think I have to resist and wait for another year.
Amazing sporty and fancy look, but the heart rate sensor is not accurate unfortunately, so if u r too much into exercising, don't count on it, you will still need the accurate heart rate sensor, I compared many times with the strap belt,
It is a very nice watch, I bought it after the glass of my GT2e cracked. But it had issues from day one. The heartrate is not fast. In fact in some modes it doesn't even register it. Boxing mode, my heartrate doesn't go above 80 and it reports only warm-up. My GT2e gives the exact rates. I googled this issue and I'm not the only one who noticed this. So, what's the use if Huawei claims to have 100 sportsprogramms on this watch, if it is not reliable? I saw people who wrote that they don't buy any Huawei watch anymore because of this, because their Garmin works better. I know that it is only the GT2 pro that has this problem. Everything else works fine. For me, if I had known this, I would not have bought the watch. Besides: about my GT2e. I saw on a RU-vid film that my cracked glass is most likely just the protective layer, which is removable and replaceble. In the shop where I went they said it could not be replaced. But I already ordered the protective glass covers and will try myself. Only because of this I bought the nice looking GT2 pro. Allas... its heartrate monitor is too sluggish. If you want it for that.... go for the GT2e or even the GT-C81 (my first Huawei) both cheaper and deliver good results.
I have the GT2 and have been checking out the GT2 Pro and considering updating. The GT2 has hundreds of faces and presume they are probably compatible with the Pro. I use the GT2 to make and answer calls which is a big plus for me because if I'm ever going to drop my phone, it's when I put it in or take it out of my pocket. I can also avoid getting fined for using my phone while driving. I've had 3 Samsung and 3 Apple smartwatches the latest being Samsung 3 and Apple watch 4. The Huawei for me is wayyyyy better. From what I have been seeing updating to the Pro will not be worth it. I just hope Huawei keep their existing firmware current and not make users update to their new HarmonyOS. If it ain't broke don't fix it. :)
Did anyone having issue with calls.. With latest update.. The calls are getting auto picked.. You don't have option of accepting or rejecting.. It is a major privacy issue.. You have to disable the call feature in Bluetooth.. Menu.. Any work around..??
Is anyone experiencing the GT2 Pro and iPhone connection disconnecting on a regular basis? Find that it's only when iPhone gets turned off and on again you have to do manually Bluetooth connect the watch to the phone. It's becoming a real pain.
I'm an Apple user and have recently bought the GT2 Pro. I'm loving the watch but have one issue, with the iOS notifications that come through to the watch, they don't tend to automatically disappear when they come through, which means every time I get a notification I have to push the button to get the time back. Is there any solution to this do you know?
The GT2 Pro looks nice but is a shitty watch for your heartrate monitoring. I wrote about it 3 months ago and ever since I have been trying and still have the same problems. Today: I finally managed to use the watch during bicycle trips. When we were half way, I stopped the program and started it again two hours later going back home.... it just refused to measure my heartrate. It was around 83 when I turned on the healthapp and as soon as I started it dropped to 63 and never came over 79 until around half an hour later where it was registering the heartrate. I do shadow boxing and fencing in VR, now the shadow boxing was working (I first used the boxing program which didn't work at all), but fencing? Nothing. It refuses monitoring the heart rate. Maybe I'm doing everything wrong, but it is very difficult to make the watch working. My GT2e was a lot easier.
What's the battery life like when GPS mode is engaged for recording an MTB ride? How do you think this compares to Garmin Fenix 5 which is what I was also looking at for MTB riding.
