In this first video, we dive into the amazing hardware features of Huawei's long-awaited Runner sequel.
"Hello! We have waited literal years for Huawei to make a sequel to their much-beloved GT Runner, and here it is, the Watch GT Runner 2."
"Now we start our two-video special by talking about hardware, and more distinctly, how this aerospace-grade titanium-alloy case, the Kunlun glass, and a weight of just 43.5 grams all comes together to give you a pretty exquisite running experience.
Now let's talk about hardware."
"The new Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 is the successor to one of the most precise running watches for consumers, so naturally the antenna and sensor system has had a major overhaul.
The Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 therefore uses an advanced 3D floating antenna platform that uses parts of the bezel to align with and match satellite signals combined with an inertial navigation positioning system to grant 3.5 times the precision of the previous generation, giving you precise positioning even when running in tunnels and urban environments."
"While this may sound tedious, it's vital for optimising even basic daily training, and can make the difference between breaking a personal record or not on your next marathon.
The heart rate tracking has also been improved, making it one of the best on the market, combined with Huawei's TrueSense sensor array that helps you keep an eye on sleep ECG, blood oxygen levels, and arrhythmia as well."
"It has almost every conceivable sensor on the market, including light and depth sensors, that also helps with the integrated dynamic recovery data.
The battery uses advanced silicon stacking technology, providing 540mAh or in practical terms up to 14 days of light use or 32 hours of intensive workout usage."
"It still has room for digital storage and supports music playback, offline maps and golf courses, as well as an NFC chip you can use for payments as well.
The outer parts consist of second generation Kunlun glass that is thinner and lighter than sapphire glass, with high drop resistance while letting all 3,000 nits of brightness shine through the 1.32-inch AMOLED display."
"It features a premium-made watch case made of exclusive titanium alloy that has been nano-moulded for increased durability and decreased weight at just 34.5g, and comes with a new hollow-structure air-dry strap that weighs less than 10g.
In fact, you get two in the box, with one being a fluoroelastomer."
"The whole watch has an IP69 rating and can handle 5ATM.
Sounds pretty impressive, doesn't it?
Now in our second video of two, we'll delve more deeply into Huawei's distinct HarmonyOS and how that works on this particular watch, including marathon mode, precise tracking and diverse health metrics."
