Huawei Watch GT 2 is a successor to the original Watch GT that was launched alongsideHuawei P30 Proearlier this year. It will come in two variants – 42mm variant with a 1.2-inch AMOLED display and 46mm variant with a 1.39-inch AMOLED display. The watch is backed by the company’s own LiteOS, coupled with a GPS, heart rate sensor, and water resistance up to 5ATM. Huawei Watch GT 2 boasts of a 14-day battery life, which is just great.

Talking about the Kirin A1 chip, which runs the show under the hood, it’s the first-ever wearable chipset to support Bluetooth 5.1 and Bluetooth 5.1 LE simultaneously (which means it offers twice the range of Apple Watch). It usesultra-energy-efficient ARM Cortex-M7 coresfor industry-leading 10uA/MHz energy consumption rate. It supports optical heart rate sensors, 6-axis gyroscope and other sensors that will help perk up its use-cases in future wearables.

Huawei Watch GT 2 is just thefirst step in bringing the Kirin A1to India. The company is going to compete against some of the best-sellers, including the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch in the premium category. Kirin A1 chipset will help Huawei further its footprint in India’s wearable segment down the road.
