While Huawei and by extension, Honor face US trade sanctions, they are still plugging away with two of the most impressive smartwatches for Android in recent years. The latest update for the Watch GT and Watch GT 2 includes a series of optimizations and some new watch faces.
The Huawei Watch GT is — despite our initial skeptical review — a superb smart fitness tracker option for ultra-active people. The success of the Watch GT in global markets is quite surprising in many regards but it appears that it has now surpassed 2 million sales since release.
We reported recently that the EMUI 9.1 beta is rolling out to a number of Huawei and Honor devices. Huawei has now confirmed that EMUI 9.0 is rolling out to seven more devices with the Huawei Watch GT also receiving an important Always on Display update of its own.

The smartwatch market in 2019 is mainly the Apple Watch, with everyone else competing for scraps. While Apple’s popular wearable grew in market share year-over-year, the biggest player in Wear OS saw a loss. According to a new report, Fossil Group’s smartwatch efforts saw them lose share in the market.
The Huawei Watch GT may not measure up to a true smartwatch, but its battery life alone makes it a compelling option. Today, Huawei has launched the new Active and Elegant variants of the Huawei Watch GT. Here’s what you need to know.
We’re just a few days out from the debut of the Huawei P30 Pro and we already know basically everything about the company’s upcoming device. Now, ahead of the official launch, a page has leaked on the company’s site which gives further confirmation of what we know about the Huawei P30 Pro’s design, as well as the Huawei Watch GT Active and more.
As far as Android smartwatches go, battery life is the biggest issue. The Huawei Watch GT rides the line between a proper smartwatch and a fitness tracker, and now it’s reportedly getting new Active and Elegant variants.
Huawei smartwatches have traditionally run on top of Google’s Wear OS platform, but alongside its Mate 20 Pro last year, the company debuted a new watch based on a custom OS. The Huawei Watch GT packs some strong endurance from the battery, and now it’s finally available in the US.
Huawei has made some superb smartphones this year, with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro being one of the standout devices on the market. Smartwatches are another area the company has doubled down in, but not with our preferred Wear OS. Instead, the Huawei Watch GT has gone down the Samsung route, favoring its own LiteOS smartwatch operating system.
