The Huawei Watch GT made its debut last October
alongside the Mate 20 series, and it looks like this year the Chinese company
is preparing a follow-up that will most likely be unveiled on September 19 at
the Mate 30 event - that is, if it doesn't see the light of day at a separate
IFA presentation this week.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Huawei Watch GT 2,
seen here in all its glory in leaked official press renders. The GT 2 doesn't
try to reinvent the wheel, instead it brings a few solid, if minor,
improvements compared to its predecessor.
It boasts a slightly larger screen and smaller
bezels, and it's thinner and more compact overall. It's also got a larger
battery, at 445 mAh (up from 420 mAh). The Watch GT 2 will employ a mic and
speaker as well, which means you might be able to make calls directly on it -
and that makes us wonder whether it has a version with some sort of cellular
connectivity.
GPS is still built-in, as is the optical heart rate
monitor, and as you can see from the pictures you will get a choice of two styles.
The Huawei Watch GT 2 Sport is the all-black model with the sporty rubber band,
while the Watch GT 2 Classic is the black/silver one with the brown leather
strap. Powering both of these is Huawei's proprietary wearable platform, no
trace of Wear OS by Google here.
