Huawei Watch GT 2e Review | Smart fitness tracking on a budget

[@jordan95hd83]

You are honestly one of, if not my most favourite tech reviewer, Chris!

[@eyadjaouni7838]

"What you see is WATCHu get" Did I hear it like that? If so, what a legend!

[@luceeps]

I have the first huawei watch one or whatever its called and I love it. I wasted a bit of money buying straps (do not do this) 5 months in and I'm still impressed with the watch. It does everythign I need- track workouts, sleep heart rate and reminds me to get up and moving x

[@TeoSluga]

The first model did not have most accurate GPS tracking... I tested this while cycling. It was no match to Polar or Garmin... New model is better.

[@swapnilgalinde6071]

Does it have built in GPS ?

[@glacialimpala]

Now you made me reconsider the buy. I had all that with MiWatch I paid 30eur 😢

[@luceeps]

@@swapnilgalinde6071 yes, it does

[@AllTheRain]

THERE'S MORE THAN 150 WATCH FACES you can install them through the huawei health app. This isn't a smart watch its a good looking fitness tracker. It shouldn't be compared to the galaxy or apple watches, it should be compared to the fitbit. Against the fitbit and similar fitness straps it holds up extremely well and in my opinion blows them out of the water in terms of design and a few extras.

[@lukepramudita]

watching this while waiting for my watch to be delivered home. can't wait to wear and do some workout with it later.

[@GlobalTriathlonNetwork]

Luke can you answer my question in my other question

[@lukepramudita]

Global Triathlon Network hi, just answer your question below :)

[@johnsantos7041]

Which color is nicer, gree or red?

[@x-prtjeff7960]

Same

[@wumnenwei]

Was it good?

[@kvakpavel79]

Absolutely superb watch, swimming tracking, and the battery live is perfect 3 weeks on a single charge

[@Jawsthefish]

All of your reviews are very helpful and high quality

[@shubham7376]

IT'S GOOD WATCH WITH DECENT WEIGHT OF 40 GRAMS AND COMFORTABLE FIT IN THE HANDS WHICH MAKES THIS WATCH A GOOD ONE!

[@paulhayes7972]

OKAY

[@plunder1956]

Have you ever tried the Samsung Smart watches? It would be interesting to see a comparison.

[@jshdhsgsh]

thanks for the review. I expected some of the features like app download and NFC; but I can live without them.

[@tony5101]

Decent watch and decent price. I just need to get over the hangup that I have about no Google support and having to mess around installing the Huawei app store etc. Unfortunately (for me), that is the biggest undoing of this watch and why I think that prices may plummet quite quickly.

[@vivekrichard6827]

How accurate the results?

[@glacialimpala]

Brilliant review! You used such descriptive language it was a very fun watch (pun intended) too 😉

[@kennyzraht5804]

The king of self-deprecation!

[@uhaish]

Great review , one.minror correction it uses LiteOS which is actually open-source .

[@glacialimpala]

Does that mean one can import and use any fan made display?

[@uhaish]

@@glacialimpala no actually Huawei already have stopped dev work on it, there had been no updates lately. Best is to look for a different product.

[@glacialimpala]

@@uhaish Coincidentally I was just looking to buy Magic Watch 2 instead, because of call and music features :)

[@johnsantos7041]

Which color is the best? Black, red or green?

[@weiss7468]

Owning one right now, so many firmware issues on both the watch and Huawei Health. Heart rate settings can't be saved, always reverts to default. Anaerobic training effect is never calculated despite intense exercise. These problems have been brought up by others since last year and hasn't been fixed yet, it's better to spend your money elsewhere.

[@milele7703]

Thanks for the review. BY the way, what's the make of your phone please? I kinda like it🙂

[@jamestan8954]

i bought the watch thanks for your review more power on your channel!!!

[@kodakapple]

What permisions does huawei mobile services ask and do you notice any hit on phone battery life after installing it?

[@jeffhurst7761]

The watch is great, the battery however is nothing like the claims. Lucky to get through a full day, and that's after having applied all the power saving options.

[@less3117]

Absolute bargain @ £78. MP3 uploads too. Awaiting delivery of my red version. Good review, thanks

Thanks for the review. Great watch

[@flyersluver4eva]

The screen marks up so easy .

[@uthayak]

Avoid any fitness tracker that restricts you from exporting your data with easy native options within the app You should not have to be stuck with one eco system. Almost bought this watch.

[@chawlaavinash]

What are the alternatives?

[@paulmorris563]

What did you buy?

[@alanbatruk9339]

Good review, thanks, although few words about ability to change a strap to 3rd party straps would be nice.

[@user-mc5xr9ku6x]

I get that people have different views on what budget is but to me budget is a mi band 3 or 4 so 30 ish max for a watch fitness thing and 160 isn't very cheap. Ik it has more features but 160 budget... Damn

[@tyan4380]

I received Huawei P40 pro+ GT2 e + freebuds3 bundle, much as I expected, I still got surprised about the build quality of the devices...just hoping to get some more workout options such as squat , push ups and stuffs

[@stevenabbott9625]

Great review, I've got the watch now but can't get the extra with faces on the Health app ? is this because I have iOS ? I'm gutted I was looking forward to playing about with this feature.

[@cherrymetha3185]

Did you manage to get the watch faces? I’m thinking of getting one and I have an iPhone

[@stevenabbott9625]

@@cherrymetha3185 Still got the watch, I had problems using it with the Apple's crap version of the app, in the end I gave up. I downloaded the android version of the app on my amazon fire and hey presto everything works since then, and now I can change and get more watch faces.

[@cherrymetha3185]

@@stevenabbott9625 Thanks for letting me know! Yea as we all know , Apple just wants people to buy their over priced things (that stop working after a few years or work very slowly and with limits ) . Great that it worked on your Amazon Fire ! I think I’m not going to buy it as I don’t have any android devices. Thanks again!

[@DrCasper.]

Please compare galaxy watch 3 with honor magic watch 2. It wil b interesting to c a watch 1/3 the price but having almost all practical features except rotating bezel

[@darkchocolate4643]

LMAO @ the Ratatouille analogy. It's hilarious because it's very, very, very recognizable.

[@abelisraelcruzayuso4682]

Their version of the Android OS is way better than Samsung's... But not sure it is actually better than Apple's...

[@flyersluver4eva]

Can you track you sleep on the watch itself rather than check your phone

[@pip1723]

Just got one for 64.00 on Amazon very impressed but my huawei m5 tablet wouldn't support the app ! Unbelievable tired everything ended up putting it my phone which was slightly annoying.

should i get this or the galaxy watch active? which is better guys! need help

[@jeffrymanoj996]

Is it a software problem or battery problem?

[@balongzky00]

Can i use this watch with samsung phone? Thanks

[@TiagoMorbusSa]

Sorry, 46 milometer is enormous. I get that smart watches are bigger than traditional watches, but a normal man's watch size is 38mm or 42mm. I personally use 42mm watches and they definitely stand out on my wrist, and I'm not a skinny dude like you. 46mm is bonkers big.

[@TeoSluga]

You clearly forgot something very important. You said you have a 42 mm watch. But hey, please report what is the thickness of your watch? GT2e is ONLY 10,5 mm thick. For example, Garmin 645 is 13,5 mm thick. And yes, this is very important! So 42 mm could be more ridiculous on your wrist them 46...

[@zoranbrasnjo7488]

Do you need to have your phone with you to use GPS tracking?running without the smartphone?

[@Benson.BereTV]

Can you use this on an apple phone?

[@melvinvincent8612]

Is it a cellular version

[@ann0ynim0us]

Do not get this watch if you're a swimmer, even though it is able to count laps accurately. It WILL get water damaged after a year of use. There's a huge design defect where the screen and the body sits, as water will eventually seeped through. The screen went fuzzy one day and the display went blank. I took it to service centre. They just replied with "water damaged". All l I did was use it for swimming to count laps. The pool was less than 4 feet deep. Watch was 1.5 years old and repair will cost the full price of the watch plus another 20% on top. Huawei claims their watch is only water resistant, not water proofed. In other words, you can only use it at the sink and other light activities. Forget about using it to count laps as you risk destroying the watch forever.

[@AG30]

[@Llethander]

How does it do for differentiating between exercising and something like, for example, driving a forklift? I used to use the Samsung Gear S2 and it was forever recording a day at work on the forklift as either cycling or jogging with no way to cancel or remove recorded information.

[@bulacanmemories]

Bought this last Friday. It looks cool. But I am happier with my Amazfit Verge Lite's performance. Part of me says right now that I should have gone for the Amazfit GTR instead.

[@comanchio1976]

What's better about the performance, if you don't mind me asking? I was a bit torn between this one and the GTR, but thought the overall quality was better with this one and I think it looks a little better.

Love your videos but your immediate price comparison is a tad misleading. Having splashed a bazillion quids over the years From Pebble watches onwards there still is no way any comparisons can be made to the Apple Watch by Android watches. Wrist slapped mucker. Carry on with the shenanigans.

[@GatlingBRRRRR]

can GT-2E pair with IOS ?

[@Lamborghini1YT]

cool watch

[@GlobalTriathlonNetwork]

Does it map your run in the app? Didn't see it. Does it store music on watch so you don't need a phone on your tun to play music?

[@lukepramudita]

Hi, I just read your question. Yes, this watch records your route whenever you do outdoor sports such as running, walking, cycling, and triathlon. However, as you guess, the maps is not displayed directly in your watch, so you should use the app to watch the track. This watch also have storage spaces to save your music playlist. To transfer the songs to this device, you may upload it from your phone apps using a bluetooth connection. Cheers

Bought this watch today. Looks good.. I am using nokia 7.2 phone and am not able to download HMS app because of which Huawei health app is not responding. I tried to download apk from unknown source but it's not getting installed in my phone. Can anybody help how to sync this watch with my phone?
