Last week details emerged about the Huawei Watch GT, and new smartwatch from the tech giant which is expected to take on the Samsung Galaxy Watch and other Wear OS devices. The Huawei Watch GT is pretty now official as its product listing has gone online.
Huawei put details about the watch up, and has since removed them, where it confirms the Watch GT will be running its own software rather than using Wear OS. Its running on a custom ARM Cortex M4, not the usual Qualcomm Snapdragon, and has a 1.39 inch 454 × 454 AMOLED screen with a 420 mAh battery.
Huawei is making battery life one of the biggest selling points of the Watch GT. It promises 30 days in relatively lower power watch mode or 22 hours if you opt to enable all the functions. Interestingly there could be an IR blaster in there as well.
It has got all the basics, like reminders, notifications, tracking, calendars, etc. It does support NFC based mobile payment but only for Chinese services. Other than that, TruSeen 3.0 heart monitoring, TruRelax atmospheric pressure monitoring, and TruSleep sleep monitoring. All the things that make the Watch GT a diagnostics clinic on your wrist, which will probably make Huawei to compete against the Apple Watch.
The Huawei Watch GT is expected to launch in Europe alongside the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro that’s set for launch next week on 16th of October..
