Third-party reviews

What we like about Vivo Watch GT 2

  • Exceptional battery life, reaching up to 17 days in normal use and 33 days in power-saving mode
  • Large, high-quality 2.07-inch AMOLED display with narrow bezels and high brightness (up to 2,400 nits)
  • Premium build materials, including an aluminium alloy body and softer, high-quality silicone straps compared to previous models
  • Support for eSIM, allowing independent cellular connectivity for calls and messages
  • Broad health and fitness suite, including heart rate, SpO2, stress, and sleep monitoring, plus a new 'green diet' feature for weight loss
  • Strong value for money with a competitive price point for its feature set

What we don't like about Vivo Watch GT 2

  • Internal memory downgrade to 512MB (from 1.5GB on the original GT), limiting storage for local music
  • Reports of a sluggish system and 'laggy' swiping, likely due to reduced RAM and hardware cutbacks
  • Proprietary, non-universal strap interface, and lack of compatibility with previous generation Vivo straps
  • Heavier than the previous generation (60g vs 46g), which may feel bulky on smaller wrists
  • Limited third-party app ecosystem compared to WearOS or Apple Watch platforms
  • Lacks advanced outdoor sensors like a functional barometer or altimeter for accurate climbing data

Verdict

The Vivo Watch GT 2 is a feature-rich smartwatch featuring a vibrant 2.07-inch AMOLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,400 nits, housed in a lightweight 35.8g aluminum alloy frame. Key characteristics include an eSIM variant for independent cellular calling, BlueOS 3.0 software with a DeepSeek-powered AI assistant, and a massive 695mAh battery providing up to 33 days of life in power-saving mode. Main pros include its exceptional outdoor screen visibility, comprehensive 24/7 health tracking (heart rate, SpO2, and stress), and support for over 100 sports modes with professional coaching. However, notable cons include its limited 2ATM water resistance rating compared to standard 5ATM competitors and a significant reduction in internal storage to 512MB, which may cause system sluggishness and limit music storage.
