Did get one on the cheap recently (GBP 58) and very happy price / performance wise. I hike every weekend and it has a lot of features I would us, even GPS and an altimeter, which you will massively struggle to find on watches at this price range.
GT2 has engraved external GMT bezel. MagicWatch 2 has internal tachymeter bezel. In UK, both come with leather and black strap. At the moment, both are same price.
Which features are missing if I got this watch for iPhone? I am comparing this watch to a Amazfit GTR. Obviously that watch is missing the speaker and mic but I'm more concerned about iOS compatibility and price. Both watches look great.
Can you link Honor to third part app like strava or wikiloc? Can you extract GPS tracks to use it as you like? like share it or upload on wikiloc or alltrails?
Can you define call functionality in below two scenarios : 1. Bluetooth headphone connected to Mobile phone and you press the call pickup button on smart watch. 2. Bluetooth headphone connected to smartwatch and press call pickup button in smartwatch. can we attend the call in bluetooth headphone in any scenario while pressing the green button to pick up call in smartwatch.
It looks good even on thinner wrists. As for the sleeping comfort, all wearables take some time to get used to (if you don't usually wear a watch), but after a week, you forget about wearing it
What version of Huawei Health do you have during this video? I am in the US and I do not have as many watch faces (13) and I do not have the option to change faces from my Galaxy Note 10+
It was pretty old, since the video was shot months ago. Might be that they don't offer all the features in all regions. Changing the region in options might give you more watch faces.
Bro I got this watch yesterday. Its auto wake up is not working. I need to press the button to switch on the screen. Should I return this or any fucntion is there?
There is a problem. I downloaded the Huawei health application on my phone. I want to connect Honor MagicWatch 2. It says "Device not supported". the smartwatch does not connect to the phone. I checked on another phone and there is also a problem
Can anyone tell me how can I calibrate the heart monitor sensor? Situation: I'm in resting position and the heart rate shows 48-60, but when I move my hand it shows 85-90 and within seconds goes again at the resting heart rate values.
I have a question for you, huawei gt2 always get updates to fix e expand you internal features, but thee are the newest huawei gt2e in the market place, offer more mod of exercises, ofer more than 90 mods. The question is In you opinion, they will increase and ad this feature on huawei's smartwatch, expamd the variety of fit e exercises,and internal controls to monithoring this?
Probably yes. Some of the features that were added later eventually came to the first Watch GT, so they will probably update anything that can be updated via software.
Hi Sir...I am looking for Smartwatch under 10k... I need it should have GPS (for not carrying the phone for Workouts) and some other features.... I have checked Honor watch magic 2... Or any other in this price range with good feature... Please suggest... Thanks

Step counting on this watch is the most inaccurate I have experienced. It counts steps even when I am driving. It is my worst purchase so far. Please I advise that you consider other options. "Not all that glitters is Gold" indeed.
Honor should be ashamed... even hardware is same as GT 2 Honor doesn't provide any updates or news since Huawei and Honor broke apart... both companies don't take responsibility on this watch for updates... even on Honor forum they deleted topics asking about updates or Strava... next time better buy Amazfit instead of Huawei or Honor.🤮
Ušao sam samo da ostavim Like i da podržim rad eng. kanala :)
Btw. odlična recenzija odličnog sata.
Hello, great review. What type of silver watch should you choose with the black shirt?
Did get one on the cheap recently (GBP 58) and very happy price / performance wise.
I hike every weekend and it has a lot of features I would us, even GPS and an altimeter, which you will massively struggle to find on watches at this price range.
GT2 has engraved external GMT bezel. MagicWatch 2 has internal tachymeter bezel. In UK, both come with leather and black strap. At the moment, both are same price.
@@jamesg7016 Thanks! Tachymeter obviously, autospell.😀. I'll change it.
Great review :) i'm buying one these days in Telenor 👍🥰
You have it on Aliexpress for 100-115€ ;)
Best smart watch for Android phones at the moment. Samsung can learn a lot from Huawei at the moment.
Great review, hope you can make another one for the 42 mm variant
Which features are missing if I got this watch for iPhone? I am comparing this watch to a Amazfit GTR. Obviously that watch is missing the speaker and mic but I'm more concerned about iOS compatibility and price. Both watches look great.
is screen need screen protector ?! i mean is it easy to scratch ? as i hate screen protector
one of the best reviews !
The brown leather one comes with an additional black silicone strap too (at least in the UK), apparently not in all countries though
Awesome review
Where you can buying? What phone you use to sync? iPhone.? Samsung?
We used Samsung, Huawei and Honor models, but it will work on any phone with a Huawei Health app.
Does it sync with google fit? And what's the battery life when on always on display?
Can you link Honor to third part app like strava or wikiloc?
Can you extract GPS tracks to use it as you like? like share it or upload on wikiloc or alltrails?
Can you define call functionality in below two scenarios :
1. Bluetooth headphone connected to Mobile phone and you press the call pickup button on smart watch.
2. Bluetooth headphone connected to smartwatch and press call pickup button in smartwatch.
can we attend the call in bluetooth headphone in any scenario while pressing the green button to pick up call in smartwatch.
Thats not working head phones
Is it comfortable to sleep while wearing magicwatch 2 ?? Does it look good on thin wrist or is it too heavy??
It looks good even on thinner wrists. As for the sleeping comfort, all wearables take some time to get used to (if you don't usually wear a watch), but after a week, you forget about wearing it
Thank you. GPS quality?
It's not so accurate, in certain conditions,
Honor ♥
No mention that it doesn't sync with Strava?
So both gt2 and magic watch 2 have exact same functions? Then why gt2 is priced more (only bcoz of its stainless steel body?)?
Not even that, MagicWatch 2 is stainless steel as well. It's just that Huawei is a higher tier brand
Great review thank you
Can you pair this with a chest strap HR monitor?
What version of Huawei Health do you have during this video? I am in the US and I do not have as many watch faces (13) and I do not have the option to change faces from my Galaxy Note 10+
It was pretty old, since the video was shot months ago. Might be that they don't offer all the features in all regions.
Changing the region in options might give you more watch faces.
The Huawei health app just got an update and there are a lot of new cool watch faces added up
If i use apple then its suitable for this or not
Is there a back to start function for trail running.
Yes
Bro I got this watch yesterday. Its auto wake up is not working. I need to press the button to switch on the screen. Should I return this or any fucntion is there?
Check the options, you should be able to activate or disable the wake up gesture. If it's active, but not working, return it.
@@BenchHouse thank you
There is a problem. I downloaded the Huawei health application on my phone. I want to connect Honor MagicWatch 2. It says "Device not supported". the smartwatch does not connect to the phone. I checked on another phone and there is also a problem
You might need to install Huawei Mobile Services and App Gallery, and update Huawei Health from it, then it should work
Can anyone tell me how can I calibrate the heart monitor sensor? Situation: I'm in resting position and the heart rate shows 48-60, but when I move my hand it shows 85-90 and within seconds goes again at the resting heart rate values.
Make sure your watch is tightly attached to your hand. Many people keep it lose, which makes the sensor not get the reading properly.
I have a question for you, huawei gt2 always get updates to fix e expand you internal features, but thee are the newest huawei gt2e in the market place, offer more mod of exercises, ofer more than 90 mods. The question is

No information in detail about what's app messages
Plz suggest me one watch' among GT2 and honor magic watch 2
Both are great and have similar functions, so just pick the one that looks better to you.
I was about to ask the same question....
I have taken gt2
bala venkateshwar Betha Enduku Bro?
bala venkateshwar Betha Ela undi,online check cheste out of stock undi
Can I send my photos from phone to smart watch and view on it
There is no dedicated Image viewing app, but you can do it via Gallery watchface.
Uploading one video per week isn't enough for small channel which needs to grow
So basically the same as the GT2, just a slightly different look and a slightly lower price point? Intetesting...
Yep :)
Is it possible to answer whatsapp calls? Or atleast get whatsapp call notification ?
Does it have nfc?
No NFC, at least not in global version.
Why there's not a new video?
It doesn't synchronize with Strava, forget about it.
It does with Google Fit though, and Google fit does with Strava
@@MrKigo1 why should I pay the hight price to have work, when existe better alternatives
Magic watch 2 don't have many watch faces. Not for customization lovers.
1:53 This big scratch on the GT 2 still makes me sad like a pig... 🙁🐷

Better hope nothing goes wrong with the watch. Customer service won't help you at all. Don't buy it!!
