    Must buy.

    Received, unpacked and started with 75% battery charge directly.
    I went running, hiking and jogging with it, with daily 40'000 steps. Got thereby announced kilometers and heart rate, listened to music with it played around,
    made phone calls, coupled various headphones and presented the watch to various acquaintances. Now, three days later, the thing still has 53% battery life.

    The predecessor was already good. But this one, that beats everything.

    Addendum 1:

    The alarm tone is awesome. And the altimeter is as precise as a Swiss watch.

    Btw. 5 days after receipt and extremely much gadgetry later, still 32% battery life.

    Super smartwatch with long battery life

    I have been using the Watch GT 2 for just under 1 week now.
    The watch is finished to a high standard and looks very elegant. I wear it with a black link bracelet, which I bought separately.

    The existing silicone strap
    can be replaced with any normal 22mm watch strap.
    Because the Watch has Huawei's Light OS instead of Google's Wear OS, the functions are limited. The watch is connected via the Huawei Health app.
    The watch measures steps, sleep, pulse etc. and can record workouts.
    Also new are various new sports and training modes such as mountain climbing, cross trainer, rowing, swimming style recognition and cycling in the open air.
    Stress mode and telephoning via Bluetooth (connected to the mobile phone) are also new. Phone calls went without interruptions and the person I was talking to told me that they understood me perfectly and was always surprised when I said that I was talking on a smartwatch. I also had good sound and a good connection. You can also now store up to 500 songs (MP3 files) on the watch and use them to listen to music via speakers (whose quality is really good for the size) or via Bluetooth headphones. Saving music from Spotify is not (yet?) possible. However, the content running on the smartphone, such as Spotify and YouTube, can be controlled from the watch.

    The detailed information on activities and sleep is then available in the app, an approximate overview is shown on the watch.
    Notifications can be switched off and on, and the messages of the respective apps can also be switched on and off.

    However, you can't reply to them like you couldn't with the first version. Especially since you could dictate the answer thanks to the microphone, it would be advisable to upgrade with an update.
    I still have 56% battery after a week, and that's after a lot of playing around and making calls with the watch. So a battery life of 1.5 to 2 weeks with one charge is certainly possible. More or less time, depending on use.

    In my opinion, the software is even better and more modern than the first version and simply looks more like official software than beta software.

    Anyone looking for a smartwatch with a long battery life and useful functions will be more than satisfied with the GT2. Like last year, the successor is convincing.

    Personally, I switched from the Huawei Watch GT (1 generation) to the GT 2. But I also had the Huawei Watch 2 with Wear OS before.
    The longer battery life, the more frequent software updates and Light OS convinced me. The fact that you can't install apps or respond to notifications doesn't bother me as much.
