HUAWEI Watch GT2 vs Honor MAGIC WATCH 2 REVIEW - BEST SMARTWATCH 2020?

[@Nerdbench]

I'm here waiting for the video to start..but first watching the ad because you deserve every penny

[@TechMagnet]

Love bro 😻

[@Bataling]

Thanks for the comparison. Probably going to go with the GT2 since I prefer the design of it. Battery is important since my memory isn't great. Now just got to save up my £5 a week pocket money to buy one...

[@stawfiq5]

Damn bruddah u broke my g

[@yoda8588]

Don't get picket money so waited until I could get a job lol and now I waste it. 🤷‍♂️

[@michaelhickie]

Noone talks much about the music function, I've been quietly surprised by my GT2 with the media controls being able to interface with the media that is being played in apps or cast from my phone, Spotify, KZbin etc. 🎶⏮️⏯️⏭️✅

[@cesarmscosta]

And does anyone know if Honor Watch Magic 2 also plays music from other apps, like Spotify?

[@13JamesB1]

Does anyone know if honor magic 2 does that too?

[@Mr-vu9mp]

Yes I agree, Very useful features for sure👍

[@robinjhunter]

I get 3 weeks out of my gt 1. I checked it to be sure. I don't have heart monitor or always on screen. Amazing watch.

[@JohnMarcel666]

HONOR MagicWatch 2 has GPS+Galileo and GT2 has GPS+Glonass, so if you live in Europe the MagicWatch is a better choice to do because the accuracy of GPS+Galileo is far ahead of GPS+Glonass...

Why is that?

Which one is more suitable for iphone user? This two watches was a affordable watches for me.

[@adrianmartinezmanas4903]

I've been offered both for the same price but I can't make up my mind because of the design. Which one do you prefer, aesthetically speaking? Thank you

Its more of the common features between the two than two differences

Which is better ??? GT 2 or magic 2 ?

[@peterrossbooth2011]

Amazing and detailed review. Sold my Fossil Gen 5 , as it was god awful! 🤣. Honor, all the way for me 🚵‍♂️🚲💪

[@AhmedKalei]

Thanks for the interesting comparison! I have a question please since you have one watch connected to iPhone. I have the Huawei GT2 connected to iPhone and noticed that the weather is not updating. I applied all troubleshooting from turning on/off BT, till uninstalling/reinstalling the Huawei Health app. Did you experience you the same issue? Also when I swipe the Huawei Health app up (after double clicking iPhone home button), and re click the app icon again, I always see the watch disconnected though I have all the settings to keep the app running in the background. Any idea what am I missing here? Thanks a lot for coming back to me.

[@TechMagnet]

ahmed kalei same for me regarding the weather. Didn’t find any option for it in the app. Regarding connectivity no problem at all, that sounds weird.

[@AhmedKalei]

TechMagnet Thanks for coming back on this. For the weather updates I believe I understood the reasoning behind. Huawei Health intervals to update weather is quite too long from my perspective to be honest (once an hour as mentioned in the FAQs in the app) which kind of gives the feeling it is not updating. The swiping thing is what I couldn’t find a solution for and I keep swiping the app up so it immediately stops updating.

Hello, do you know if the acessories like watch covers fit in bouth models? If i buy a huawei gt 2 cover Will fit in honer?

[@DiarrheaBubbles]

I almost spent like $600 on an Apple watch then I saw the battery only lasts 9-14 hours... A clock that runs for less than 24 hours is ridiculously asinine.

[@carmendewa2449]

Love your Video's ;-) I purchased a Huawei GT2 3 weeks ago and totally LOVE it. Its actually replaced my Samsung 46mm purely because the battery life. I got sick of charging my GW every night. I noticed on the Huawei Health App they now have paid watch faces in the NEW section, but when i tap to purchase it does nothing :-( , would you know why this is ? Are Huawei still in a BETA program for a Store ? Your help on this would be my appreciated if you know the answer to my question :-) Cheers ;-)

[@goregonstantin394]

bouth a top smarwatch are the same watch from same manufacturer but with different name ! i have galaxy watch honor macic 2 and watch gt1 ... huawei much more better sensors ... much more battery ... real submersibble capabilitiez .... but less more watch faces and no capability to put any watch face as always on display comparing to samsung !

[@cesarmscosta]

165/5000 From the comments I realized that the GT2 works with other apps, like Spotify, allowing you to change music or rewind ... and the Honor Watch Magic 2, is it the same? I think it is, at this moment, the only issue that does not allow me to decide.

[@WarningItsJustScam]

I guess my answer won't be of any help for u anymore, but I looked this up as well before i orderd it but couldn't really find good answers. So in short, got mine today and you're able to control Spotify, but you can't browse your library oder something like that.

[@iAlduin]

what about watch faces, I heard that the watch faces are limited on the honor while unlimited on Huawei gt2!!? Can you please confirm that

[@jasonyeoh3231]

Actually the magic watch 2 also has loads of new faces I have been using it and every 1 to 2 weeks there will be around 5-10 new face designs

[@DC-zb7uf]

Thanks for the great review, do both watches show a message as a notification in its entirety? Or does it limit the message to just one screens worth?

[@mmd90]

the watch gt2 has nfc but it is not active outside china, since huawei and google are not friends anymore no google pay most likely, maybe they will add NFC pairing for headphones, turn nfc on on your mate 30 and press it against watch it will read an empty tag

[@TechMagnet]

yea thats true. would so love google pay on it !

[@PaceyPimp]

The whole time i was waiting for you to talk about the differences and all you talked about were the similarities. No spec comparison. Do they both offer Wi-Fi connectivity?

[@teosluga2234]

It's the same watch, same company. What other info do you need?

[@PaceyPimp]

@@teosluga2234 yeah I notice that I think the only difference is the small physical differences and the air pressure sensor and the always trackin6 heart rate monitor.

[@joeb1331]

Like the watch but it doesn't have any weight lifting workout and can't actually review the messages after it notified me, this is on the Honor Magic Watch.

[@muaykaliente4386]

Love the lightning in your pc room looks cool thanks for another great review

[@deathtyohn7737]

I think the minor lag on the honor magicwatch is due to its poor stability of IOS, idk just personal thoughts...

[@ableagrz2300]

Which one is better? Value for money ?

Honor Magic Watch 2 is cheaper than the Huawei! Virtually the same smartwatch

Is there a way to use trainings (Running Plans) from Huawei Heatlh App on the watch? I've had the GT2 for 2 months and haven't been able to find how. It's a bit ridiculous, to follow my half marathon training plan I have to carry BOTH my phone and a watch, kinda makes you wonder what's the purpose of the watch if you have to carry the phone... I expected an actual integration between Huawei App and Huawei watch

Why would the smaller Huawei 42mm have a shorter battery life than the larger 46mm brother with a larger screen? That doesn't make sense. A smaller screen with the same size battery should last longer than the larger screen.

[@inoboy3974]

Hi, is it true that Huawei GT 2 46mm does not support Android 11.0? If yes, is it a really crucial issue? Thanks.
