To recap

Huawei’s Watch GT has built a reputation for crazy-long battery life and great health tracking data, with the GT 2 continuing that ethos, adding a couple of new features like the always-on lock screen and loudspeaker. That makes it a great fitness watch, but the lack of interactivity means it’s still not a fantastic smart watch.
