Equipped with enhanced fitness tracking features, the Huawei Watch GT 2 can monitor different workout modes including cycling and triathlon.

Additional features like weather, timer, stopwatch, and flashlight added extra charm to the smartwatch.

The Kirin A1 chipset integrates an advanced Bluetooth processing unit, a powerful audio processing unit, an ultra-low power consumption application processor and a separate power management unit.

The GT 2 watch gives 150 metres of Bluetooth connectivity. You can make calls as the audio quality is good. You can also store music on it as it comes with 2GB inbuilt memory.
