hi everyone welcome back to Wesknows tech news and reviews today we'll be talking about a very
very super smart watch and that smart watch is actually on my wrist right now so this is the
who are we gt2 pro now i don't know how i actually missed this one i assumed wrongfully as i now know
that the gt2 and the gt2 pro are quite similar and there's no reason to pay the extra dime well
as i just found out because two days ago i actually bought the gt2 pro and i was astounded
the quality the looks the functionality on the gt2 pro wow it actually blasts you away so without
any further ado let's get into this initial impressions review of the gt2 pro let's do it
okay so the gt2 pro is not the gt2 it's actually heavier it's better looking the build
materials are so much higher in quality and the functionality the sensors almost everything has
changed apart from the natural cue something like well the watch is round and it has the letters gt
in it anyways we're gonna make this review in the following way so first we'll go through
the design then we'll talk about the display and then we'll get into the features and functions and
we're talking the cool features and functions not the usual timer stopwatch and so forth
we'll get also into the things that actually changed from the gt2 anyway let's do it
to kick off with let's go with design so this thing is round it's big the top is flat and the
bottom is shiny why is that well because the dimensions for the gt2 pro are 46.7 by 46.7
millimeters and it's actually 11.4 millimeters thick and without the strap it does weigh 52 grams
so we're going into the regions of the phoenix 5s the garmin fenix 5s which also weighs 52 grams
without the strap now the design here is all about being premium so these are the looks that you
would expect to see on the mont blanc summit and the summit too these are the looks that you would
like to see on the tag huia now this is amazing so this watch has a titanium case not aluminium
not steel titanium plus the glass on top is actually sapphire glass so it's not the 3d glass
that we see the curved 3d glass that we see on the gt2 now here we get a slab of flattened sapphire
glass and it does look absolutely astounding the premium look the premium feel just oozes
out of this watch also you will notice that there are no lugs as such now the straps that are used
are actually the click and straps but they look to be tapered on the sides so there's no lugs as such
and again it's so sporty yet elegant and so premium i think premium will be the word of the
day for this particular review now of course we have to mention the strap and the clasp well the
straps there are two options so you can either get the gray nebula leather strap or you get
this black tpu rubber strap well i love action i love the forest so i got the black tpu strap but
i think i will be actually getting myself the gray nebula leather one as well because i think that
this watch will look amazing at the restaurant on the night out not just in the park because
it is so premium and expensive looking i just can't believe it that i actually miss this watch
now since we're talking about the design let's look at the back so we're used to seeing the back
covers being plastic hard black plastic well this is shiny nice why what's going on well actually
this is ceramic so it's a ceramic back and you will see that the led on the back on the optical
heart rate sensor has actually been modernized but we'll get on that when we get to the features and
functions also you will notice that the clasp on the strap is metal and it does have huawei
logo on there and it does look premium again right let's get onto the display so the gt2 pro
actually has a 1.39 inch amoled display with 454 by 454 pixels that is absolutely amazing
it's a clear as they screen you will be able to see anything that's written or drawn on it
basically at any time of the day be at night be a day be in direct sunlight the screen is just so
bright you will be able to see anything on there the cpu is also very quick it's the kirin a1 and
hence it's quick so basically there's no lagginess as you scroll through the screens and of course
being a premium smartwatch it does have auto brightness because it does have the ambient light
sensor also you can use the always-on display or no always-on display it basically depends on how
much you want the battery to last because if you do have the always-on display you will have to cut
your battery in half and talking about battery talking about battery life the manufacturer who
are we in this case actually opts or claims that you will have this watch on for two weeks well no
it will last you really eight to ten days and that's without the always-on display if if you
have the always-on display switched on then you'll be lucky to get five to six days out of this watch
on one or a single battery charge another massive improvement on the gt2 pro is the fact the gt2 pro
actually supports key charging as well as reverse charging so you can use it with any of the new and
the modern smartphones and charge the watch simply by putting it on the back of your smartphone
okay features and functions well there are plenty simply because even the gt2 model
had lots of functions so just under 100 sport modes you've got 13 guided running courses you've
got dual gps this watch can go up to 50 meters so it is water resistant you can take it to the pool
as it's got dual gps and it's water resistant you can take it for open water swimming there
is so much that this watch can do so the watch has an accelerometer it's got a gyroscope it's got a
geomagnetic sensor it's got the optical heart rate sensor as well as an air pressure sensor
so it's got more than enough sensors to keep you more than happy and satisfied with the
sports and activities that you do with this watch so all of your activities are now goal based that
means that you can set a goal such as distance to be covered duration of a particular exercise or
calories to be burnt during a particular exercise also this smartwatch actually offers continuous
spo2 monitoring now continuous spo2 or continuous blood oxygen saturation level monitoring is much
more useful than just taking spot readings because optimally if you do want to pick up things like
sleep apnea all lung conditions then you would need to measure your spo2 levels during rest and
that is normally during sleep or when you are not moving around too much during the day and when the
and when the measurement is done continuously you will be able to see a trend of where your
spo2 levels lie and this is much more useful than just spot readings or at a point in time
now considering that there is a speaker as well as a microphone on the gt2 pro that
means that you can speak into the watch and at the same time listen to the voices coming from
the watch be it from audio being played or from a phone call that you can take off your watch
so no it's not lt it doesn't have a sim card inside but using your bluetooth connection with
your phone you can actually use your watch to speak into and listen from and i'll tell
you what we're going to play a bit of music now from the watch now the gt2 had a speaker
but the gt2 pro speaker wow the quality on this thing is amazing actually if you recall
we had the gtr 2 where we had a speaker as well the sound quality there was a bit iffy
here when you are running and you've got the music playing it's just as if you actually had music
running from a smartphone so the speaker and the gt2 pro is quite good talking about audio music
podcasts and so forth well on the gt2 pro you get 4 gb of allocated storage now you don't get
all of that to download music too no about one and a half to two gb will be used up by the software
but you're still left with with over 2gb for all your favorite podcasts music and so forth now the
really cool thing here is that you can actually connect your bluetooth earbuds or your tws earbuds
to the watch not just to the smartphone so if you download the music to your wrist to your watch
and you go out running without your smartphone you can still listen to your favorite tracks okay so
you know there's a breathing app you know that this does three sleep stages during your sleep
so your light your deep and rem sleep is measured calculated and monitored and when you wake up in
the morning you will have recommendations in the huawei health app that will guide you for
you to get better night sleep of course there's continuous stress monitoring continuous heart rate
monitoring and the optical heart rate sensor on the back of the gt2 pro is actually optimized and
better than the one on the gt2 but there are some awesome features and functions which we've kept
right till the end so basically here's what this watch can now do so there is the route back
feature which is basically offline navigation back to your starting location there's also the outdoor
assistant which provides you with sunrise sunset time times moon phases and bad weather alerts
there's also a new golf mode and this one is so awesome because it includes swing analysis another
awesome and completely unbelievable thing that happened is that on the gt2 pro you can finally
download third-party apps so as we know huawei actually uses light os for its smart wear gadgets
well previously you could not get a smart watch where you can download apps to well starting from
the gt2 pro you can actually download third-party apps and currently there are 19 apps that you can
download well considering that it started off with six just a couple of months ago there's already 19
we can see that this will grow and expand and i'm absolutely certain that the light os ecosystem
will become absolutely huge in the near future so as i already mentioned i am mega impressed with
the gt2 pro and yes i do regret that i didn't get it back when it came out a couple of months
back well actually at the end of 2020 anyway thank you for watching this initial impressions review
