What we don't like about Huawei Watch GT 2E

  • No built-in speaker or microphone for taking calls directly on the watch.
  • Limited functionality for iOS users compared to Android users (e.g., music transfer issues).
  • The 46mm case may be too large for those with smaller wrists.

Verdict

The Huawei Watch GT 2e is a fitness-focused smartwatch featuring a 1.39-inch AMOLED display (454 x 454 resolution), the energy-efficient Kirin A1 chipset, and a 455mAh battery providing up to 14 days of typical use. Housed in a 46mm stainless steel case with a 5ATM water resistance rating, it supports 100 workout modes—including 15 professional and 85 custom activities—and features integrated GPS/GLONASS, SpO2 monitoring, and 4GB of internal storage for local music playback. Main pros include its exceptional battery life, vibrant high-resolution screen, and comprehensive fitness tracking at a competitive price point; however, cons include a lack of third-party app support, no built-in speaker or microphone for calls, and limited notification interactivity.
