Huawei has released the Watch GT Runner 2 in the global market for all running-lovers and athletes with prominent features, and it’s a good time to reflect on the major changes of the new device over the first-generation wearable – Watch GT RUNNER.
After a two-year pause, Huawei has re-used the word “RUNNER” in its smartwatch family. This time, it encompasses various high-quality traits, strong battery life, better display, and more – all packed in a giant watch.
So here are some of the changes that are key to Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 uprising and differentiate between its past and present! Let’s check them in detail.
1. Lightweight Titanium Design
Watch GT Runner 2 adopts an ultra-thin body weighing only 34.5 grams and 10.7mm thickness. Huawei has crafted the wearable with a nano-molded titanium alloy case, offering three major benefits:
- Lightweight for comfort
- Strength for durability
- Metallic Finish for a luxurious design
For the first time, Huawei has used the AirDry woven strap technology for the Watch GT Runner 2. It simply means that the device’s strap features a hollow design, which increases breathability by 25%, eliminating sweat and moisture completely.
2. Ultra-Precise GPS
Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 uses an industry-leading 3D floating antenna architecture for accurate recording of distance, pace, and route. It boosts accurate positioning by 20% even through buildings and tunnels due to convergent position algorithms.
These algorithms integrate data from multiple sensors, refining the user’s location, heading, or movement direction until it stabilizes, even when the signal is lost.
3. Smart Marathon Mode
DSM-Firmenich Racing Team and Huawei together have developed the Smart Marathon Mode. It acts as an expert on elite runners, offering precise metrics and professional analysis to help you beat your previous records with big wins.
Marathon Mode is your personal sports event assistant that provides you with the world’s biggest marathon or allows you to customize your own game. It tailors your schedules to enhance your performance and records every step with a running capacity index.
4. High-Precision Health Features
Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 brings a comprehensive health management with top-notch and high-precision ECG analysis, Pulse Wave Arrhythmia Analysis, and a new feature called “Breath Awareness During Sleep” that effortlessly tracks your sleep and any abnormal breathing during sleep with advanced sensors.
The wearable can also monitor HRV (Heart Rate Variability), intelligent sleep tracking, altitude adaptation, and even measure your SpO2 anytime to access your respiratory health at any time. You can further get a health report on your stress, sleep, heart rate, and exercise duration with timely alerts for any abnormalities.
5. 14 days battery life
Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 changes count a 14-day battery life under light usage and 7 days under typical usage. But the best part is 32 hours of battery life in outdoor training mode, even when the device is at low energy. It will continue to offer accurate positioning – thanks to 68% greater energy density.
That’s all! These are the top 5 major changes of the Watch GT Runner 2 over its predecessor.
