@GsmArena

you should add HR accuracy tests to your smart/sportwatch suite if you want to call it a review and not just a listing of claimed features.

Most watches are total crap in HR accuracy.

You will quickly find this out by testing accuracy against Polar H10 belt.

Some are better than others.

The only way to find out which ones is go test against a reference measure.

        It's okay watch, I love the design and battery life. However it doesnt have basic features like linking with
        Endumundo or Strava, you cant replay to messages (quick replies would be totally fine). Sleep tracking is quite useless as it struggles realising whan you are awake during night.

              You're not really "running" if it takes you more than 6 hours to cut 30 km. That's jogging. It

What did I juts read. of course you need to huawei login or the daily schedule or routine of whatever customizable things on the watch can be seen only by you. And it doesn’t have components from the play store because Huawei isn’t allowed to have acces to the Play store.

                    But Huawei is too close to the Chinese government for anyone to trust their vital information to it, without a way to transfer to other health applications. I'd never wear this even if it was free.

                        Huawei Health is a very invasive app. It's effectively malware.

                        Needs components not available on Play Store. Won't allow you to use the watch without a huawei login. I regret buying this.

                          Which are the differences between this and the GT 2 one?

                            Bleh. Other reviews panned the HR accuracy under load. And with such a tightly locked ecosystem incompatible with anything else, you're going to lose all your data when you change devices. Plus, Huawei is a shady company controlled by the Chinese military, so why would you give your data to them?

                              This is impressive. Very good battery life, 6-7 days is excellent for what you get. 12hrs GPS isn't great but more than acceptable compared to other manufacturers.
                              Just wait for the inevitable 'all Huawei's are rubbish with /without gms' comments. People can't just accept Huawei does make good products and Trump is full of bs. (not a Huawei user of any sort FYI)
