As the name suggests, the Watch GT Runner 2 isn’t the first time Huawei had a crack at the concept of performance wearables. 2022’s Watch GT Runner was a good running watch that showed that the Chinese manufacturer can create more nuanced watches, but it faded to obscurity not long after its release.
Four years later, the brand is back at it again, and it seems it learned from the mistakes of the past. The Watch GT Runner 2 is a brilliant smartwatch aimed at runners, with a compact case, a bright display, a reworked GPS layout, and a raft of running-friendly features. It’s easily one of the most exciting running wearables I tried in a while.
