Thanks for the comparison. Probably going to go with the GT2 since I prefer the design of it. Battery is important since my memory isn't great. Now just got to save up my £5 a week pocket money to buy one...
I'm on the same situation. I've been offered both for the same prize but I can't decide de design? Which one do you prefer aesthetically speaking? Tnak you
HONOR MagicWatch 2 has GPS+Galileo and GT2 has GPS+Glonass, so if you live in Europe the MagicWatch is a better choice to do because the accuracy of GPS+Galileo is far ahead of GPS+Glonass...
Noone talks much about the music function, I've been quietly surprised by my GT2 with the media controls being able to interface with the media that is being played in apps or cast from my phone, Spotify, UA-cam etc. 🎶⏮️⏯️⏭️✅

So basically this is a 23+ minutes video ending with letting us know it is the same product with different names. Thanks for wasting my time! Hopefully this comment will save others from wasting their time.
I was wondering the same thing. He could've kicked this off with saying guys it's the same shit and showed just the features and cut the video in half. Yeesh.
Thanks for the interesting comparison! I have a question please since you have one watch connected to iPhone. I have the Huawei GT2 connected to iPhone and noticed that the weather is not updating. I applied all troubleshooting from turning on/off BT, till uninstalling/reinstalling the Huawei Health app. Did you experience you the same issue? Also when I swipe the Huawei Health app up (after double clicking iPhone home button), and re click the app icon again, I always see the watch disconnected though I have all the settings to keep the app running in the background. Any idea what am I missing here? Thanks a lot for coming back to me.
TechMagnet Thanks for coming back on this. For the weather updates I believe I understood the reasoning behind. Huawei Health intervals to update weather is quite too long from my perspective to be honest (once an hour as mentioned in the FAQs in the app) which kind of gives the feeling it is not updating. The swiping thing is what I couldn’t find a solution for and I keep swiping the app up so it immediately stops updating.
I think you missing one of the important comparison point. How accurate Huawei GT 2 in terms of essential features like steps count, calories burned, sleep tracker, heart rate, etc? I hope you reply this. Im kinda exciting about Huawei GT 2, and planning to buy one soon. Thanks.
Is there a way to use trainings (Running Plans) from Huawei Heatlh App on the watch? I've had the GT2 for 2 months and haven't been able to find how. It's a bit ridiculous, to follow my half marathon training plan I have to carry BOTH my phone and a watch, kinda makes you wonder what's the purpose of the watch if you have to carry the phone... I expected an actual integration between Huawei App and Huawei watch
Love your Video's ;-) I purchased a Huawei GT2 3 weeks ago and totally LOVE it. Its actually replaced my Samsung 46mm purely because the battery life. I got sick of charging my GW every night. I noticed on the Huawei Health App they now have paid watch faces in the NEW section, but when i tap to purchase it does nothing :-( , would you know why this is ? Are Huawei still in a BETA program for a Store ? Your help on this would be my appreciated if you know the answer to my question :-) Cheers ;-)
Hello Techmagnet have you tried both watches trying to call on the what but you're using a wireless earbud , will the sound go throu the earbud or the default speaker inside the watch . I did a research on Honor watch and their website said that wireless calls feature doesn't work yet, they said when calling on the watch the sound doesn't produce in the wireless earbud connected but on the default watch speaker. Thanks!
There literally the same watch just different name brands and looks a little bit different just get one that you like the look of better my girlfriend is getting the huawei gt 2 watch
Music can't be controlled while working out. I also don't think reminder can be set. I have watch gt 2 and haven't set any reminders, but I didn't have a need for one. 😅
Where you get that phone? It's not available in Mexico yet but I really want it! How's the camera? Do yoy think it's good for a concert? I do attend a lot and I want a phone that can take good quality photos
@@TechMagnet really liking the set up ... The mate 30 pro is a great phone and everything is pretty much best in class.... The design and battery of the watch is awesome and the freebuds 3 do music and calls really good ✌️
165/5000 From the comments I realized that the GT2 works with other apps, like Spotify, allowing you to change music or rewind ... and the Honor Watch Magic 2, is it the same? I think it is, at this moment, the only issue that does not allow me to decide.
I guess my answer won't be of any help for u anymore, but I looked this up as well before i orderd it but couldn't really find good answers. So in short, got mine today and you're able to control Spotify, but you can't browse your library oder something like that.
bouth a top smarwatch are the same watch from same manufacturer but with different name ! i have galaxy watch honor macic 2 and watch gt1 ... huawei much more better sensors ... much more battery ... real submersibble capabilitiez .... but less more watch faces and no capability to put any watch face as always on display comparing to samsung !
the watch gt2 has nfc but it is not active outside china, since huawei and google are not friends anymore no google pay most likely, maybe they will add NFC pairing for headphones, turn nfc on on your mate 30 and press it against watch it will read an empty tag
The whole time i was waiting for you to talk about the differences and all you talked about were the similarities. No spec comparison. Do they both offer Wi-Fi connectivity?
@@teosluga2234 yeah I notice that I think the only difference is the small physical differences and the air pressure sensor and the always trackin6 heart rate monitor.

Yes, that's true And also the small one (42 mm) doesn't have 4 GB of storage in honor The small model of huawei still does For me , i prefer the (honor) for 46 mm , for the cheaper price * but i would go with huawei in the (42mm) ,, even they say it's femal model ''who cares'' 😁
Why would the smaller Huawei 42mm have a shorter battery life than the larger 46mm brother with a larger screen? That doesn't make sense. A smaller screen with the same size battery should last longer than the larger screen.
