Overview
- Huawei unveiled the Watch GT Runner 2 at its Madrid event, presenting a runner-focused sequel co-created with Eliud Kipchoge, who was named global ambassador.
- The watch adds a 3D floating antenna, dual-band satellite positioning and an inertial algorithm for more reliable route tracking, with independent navigation without a phone.
- An Intelligent Marathon Mode offers race planning and guidance, plus metrics such as running power, dynamic pace cues, smart refuel reminders and real-time lactate threshold detection.
- Hardware includes a 1.32-inch AMOLED display rated at 3,000 nits, a titanium case with second‑gen Kunlun Glass, 5 ATM water resistance and a battery rated up to 14 days or 32 hours of continuous GPS.
- On sale now in select markets at about £350/€399 with UK Curve Pay support, the watch is not launching in the U.S., and early third‑party tests report GPS improvements that do not yet match top-tier rivals.
