Users Jackob wrote “Have it since Christmas 2020, it’s working flawlessly, no degradation in display, battery after every-day use for 2 years. I miss some functionality, and the watch face market is not great, but it’s a nice watch after all. Not worth the 150 I bought it for though…”
Stefan wrote “I have a GT2 Pro, only thing that annoys me is that all my calls get put to the watch if I have a bluetooth headset connected even if I turn off calls for the watch. Have to manually put the call to my headset every time. Had this problem both on my Oneplus 9 and Samsung s22+”
Brancatus wrote “Very disappointed that the heart rate monitor and workout data are not accessible by third party apps. For this reason alone will not be buying another Huawei. Otherwise all is fine after 2+ years apart from the gold finish that is peeling off.”
Carlos: “My gt2 does not respond when touching the screen.”
Brian: “Watch face came away from the bezel as I was washing my hands??”
Gabriel Pelin: “Just replaced the battery and the motherboard for second time,hope that from now on will work properly.”
James Muia: “My Huawei GT 2 watch has never let me down.”
HendricoVW: “Been using the @Huawei GT 2 Classic for more than two years now and it still running perfect. This is really a great watch but could do with an update, maybe add some features like assistant, message replies, and an option to add more tiles perhaps. #Huawei #WatchGT2 #Smartwatch”
Einwod: “Everything worked fine for 18 months, then when I’m at sea level, it tells me in 2480m high. Apart from that, this is a fantastic watch. I now have Watch 3 active and the battery life on it sucks.”
Adam Bullied: “Bought for my wife for xmas 2020 for her to track her sleep. It wasn’t very good at that & she didn’t use it. I started wearing it and it’s been on my wrist since. I’ve taken it into the backcountry, tracked my workouts, and it’s my speakerphone of daily use. It’s a great watch.”
Zai Mykaels: “Lasted four months before constantly getting hot and charging to a max of 22%. Battery is a nightmare to get replaced.”
Frappedieros: “Watch is fine, but how about giving us a lap timer function and custom workouts ?”
Naseer Ahmed: “I have a gt 2e and working perfectly.”
Theo77: “I wished they uploaded the HR broadcasting option for gym equipment. There were rumors but it never happened.”
Rich Glover: “Being able to answer calls on my wrist is so much easier than pulling my phone out of my pocket. I have a voice recording of my late father’s voice downloaded to my GT2, which is a comfort to carry with me.”
ioannisgnk: “It’s not a good watch, always having issues with sensor, most of times I need to shake hard for it to open, and it’s not smart at all, it does what a fitband do with the only extra calling and playing music. Okay, it wasn’t that expensive like other watches but still..”
Nkosinathi Khumalo: “I loved this watch. So sad to see it do this… Until the battery dies.”

Ulaş Soysal: “It’s amazing, one of the latest updates absolutely refreshed the UI but I’m still mad at huawei for not adding App Support, I’d love a simple ass calculator tbh”
SpyV: “I have the gt2 pro from July 21 and still works flawlessly. Fantastic battery life, built quality and durability, no scratches.”
visage: “Still nice for everyday use. I’m still impressed by the battery duration comparing to an apple watch which costs tonnes of money. The disappointment comes from the fact that the watch screen somehow keeps some previous displayed image and on the watch face there’s a mixture.”
Danny: “My GT2 Pro is just excellent. Only thing is that last update was 6 months ago and it doesn’t seem to be scheduled for more. I hope Huawei won’t abandon this model and updates will keep coming.”
darko kmet: “Gave my away and got watch 3 pro. It was missing alot features so I wasnt really pleased with it… Everything was tageted only for gt2 pro…”

Lee Howard: “My Gt2 Pro never let’s me down, superb watch. I keep looking at other watches but the gt2 has just the functionality I need. Please keep supporting it in UK Huawei.”
JC Kotze: “I now have the Watch 3. Miss the fantastic battery life of the Gt2 Pro, but then, the 3’s ability to respond to messages is great.”
Mark Watson: “The vibration motor stopped working a year after purchase. Fixed under warranty. I’m a bit disappointed that 3rd app support never came to this watch. I find replying to messages very useful on my new pixel watch which you could never do with GT2. Still a nice design and screen”
alex wong: “Been use GT2 since 2020, free gift came along with Huawei Matebook 14 (during launch). Now battery still pretty good, no issue so far. One of best bang for bucks smartwatch in market, even now latest iteration often offer very good price value. Problem is won’t work well in GMS.”
cal brock: “My watch gets a lot of abuse, I wear it all the time, work, gym, fixing car or motorcycle and it still looks absolutely brand new!! Amazing really because I don’t take care of it!!! It’s amazing”

The band broke once due to heavy use, but it got replaced very quickly”

Huawei FreeBuds 5 is coming and soon it will meet the consumers, of course, the plans for this are hidden but the latest inputs will help us to understand its soon-to-release schedule.

The tipster predicts that March could be the month to bring these earbuds out in the open. It’s possible that the recently leaked FreeBuds Pro 2+ may also share the stage with FreeBuds 5.
It’s been over 2 years since the launch of Huawei FreeBuds 4 earbuds and the tech company, in the time between, has released a new model – FreeBuds 5i. However, that’s just a filler, while the customers have been waiting for a mainstream pair of earbuds.
As for now, we don’t have the specs of the next FreeBuds lineup but we can surely know more about its predecessor.
Huawei FreeBuds 4 brings an open-fit active noise cancellation 2.0 technology. It has adaptive ear-matching technology to detect your in-ear shape and how you wear the earbuds. Then it smartly selects a variety of noise-cancellation presets.

It supports gestures and tap support, tap twice to answer and end calls, play/pause music, previous/next song or enable voice assistant. It has a swipe up and down to increase or decrease volume.
Huawei FreeBuds 4 include a special touch of tap and hold, which allows you to enable or disable noise cancellation. This pair of earbuds bring a big battery, it will boast 22 hours of battery with a charging case and ANC off. While you will get 4 hours from FreeBuds only.

It’s been two long years of the Huawei Watch 3 series launch and it seems like Huawei has finally begun the preparations for the upcoming Huawei Watch 4 lineup, as its codename is now leaked.
Huawei Watch series recently completed the WiFi certification with the codename ARC (Arch) and MDS (Medusa) for Watch 4 and Watch 4 Pro respectively. However, there are no specifications or details available about any of these models at the moment.
Past leaks:
A few days ago, a mysterious watch model appeared on the Huawei Health app with AOD-B19, which is likely to be a brand new smartwatch lineup but none of the information has been confirmed from the official channel so far.
Looking at the fact that Huawei Watch 3 series has some first-time technologies in smartwatches, we are expecting a better battery life with the upcoming duo.
Huawei Watch 3 series:
Huawei Watch 3 and 3 Pro are the first smartwatch to feature the HarmonyOS operating system. Other than that, the lineup has unique native LTE connectivity, which allows you to make calls and quickly reply to the SMS.
Huawei Watch 3 devices are a mixture of all of the past released smartwatches and a combination of design and aesthetics in one package.
In terms of standalone connectivity, Huawei Watch 3 series provides eSIM service, through which, you can share the phone number as well as voice and data plans between the smartphone and smartwatch.
That’s not it, Huawei Watch 3 models offer important map and taxi services right into the wrist. Furthermore, it’s the first smartwatch to support third-party app installation directly from AppGallery.
Moreover, Huawei Watch 3 has a big library of workout modes and fitness activities, it has Skin temperature detection, heart rate monitoring, SpO2, sleep tracking, and more. The Huawei Watch 3 Pro offers an ultra-long battery life, that could go up to 5 days back up in a smart mode and 21 days in ultra-long battery mode.
We hope that Huawei Watch 4 series will get us some big upgrades over its predecessor and we’ll keep you posted on the developments.
