Huawei Watch GT 2 comes with Kirin A1 chipset and 2 week battery life

Alongside the new Mate 30 series, Huawei introduced its latest smartwatch - the Watch GT2. It offers a round watch face with slimmer bezels compared to last year’s model and up to two weeks of battery life thanks to the new Kirin A1 SoC. The Watch GT 2 will be available in 42mm and 46mm sizes both of which come with a 1.39-inch always-on OLED display.

The Kirin A1 chipset is at the helm of the new Watch GT 2 delivering low power consumption and a more stable Bluetooth connection, which Huawei claims can hold up to 150 meters away from your phone.

The 42mm version comes with 16MB RAM and 4GB storage while the 46mm bumps up the RAM to 32MB. That may not sound like a lot but the smartwatch actually runs Huawei’s Lite OS, which is hardly very demanding. It does still support both Android and iOS phones though.

Sleek, pure, elegant, styles.

According to Huawei, the new Watch GT 2 can last 14 days with typical use and 30 hours in GPS mode. The 42mm version comes with a 215 mAh battery, while the 46mm variant packs a 455 mAh cell.
