It may not be the perfect smartwatch, but as a fitness tracking watch the Watch Gt2e is very versatile and the data available in the Health app is in-depth and easy to understand. It's also not hideously expensive. For the money, it's great.

Fantastic battery life; So many fitness options tracked; Wealth of data in Health app; Screen is vibrant and bright; Durable build and good looks

Low refresh rate of screen is noticeable; Some activity types failed to sync with phone app; Smart features aren't very interactive

The Huawei Watch GT 2e offers a whole lot of watch for your money. It’s still a predominantly fitness-focused device though. This is more of a sports watch than a smartwatch. Those sports features on the whole work well, and you do still have that great battery life that beats the likes of what...

Comfortable to wear; Plenty of sports features; Solid battery life

Smartwatch basics; Some features not compatible on iPhone

Huawei continues to deliver sturdy smartwatches that can compete with the very best on battery life and features. The choice between the GT 2 and GT 2e comes down the personal preference, but I do prefer the sportier look and feel of the new version and you do get more RAM.

Battery life; Competitive price; Good Huawei Health app; Tracks loads of sports

Quite heavy; Setup complexity; No 4G/LTE

The Huawei Watch GT 2e surprised us with its solid fitness tracking. Oh, and the two-week battery life isn't bad, either....

High-end; durable design 2-week battery life Low price point Plenty of fitness and health features Decent heart rate and GPS performance Great sleep tracking

Limited third-party app support Limited smartwatch features Finicky touchscreen SpO2 sensor is a miss iOS experience is lacking

The Huawei Watch GT 2e looks both sporty and classy, and it does that with style.

Sleek design; Great build quality; Amazing battery life; Good performance; Clicky buttons; Quite comfortable to wear; Nice display with vivid colors

Stutters on occasion; The notification system needs work; It could use more customization options; Magnetic charger with pogo pins

The Huawei Watch GT 2e is an impressive smartwatch with an even more impressive price tag, especially considering its stylish and modern design, comprehensive activity tracking and general day-to-day smartwatch features.

Accessible; Good battery life; Reliable fitness tracking; Affordable price

Limited software; No support for third-party apps

Huawei’s Watch GT 2e is a surprisingly solid and versatile fitness tracker that also serves up smartwatch staples like viewing notifications, swapping watch faces, storing music and checking the weather, making it a useful companion for your next workout.

Long battery life; Great fitness tracking; Affordable price

Limited software functionality; Limited compatibility with iOS devices; No third-party apps

More fitness tracker than smartwatch. The Huawei Watch GT 2e is packed with sensors to quantify your workouts and track your sleep but doesn't offer a premium enough experience to contend with more full-featured smartwatches.

Extensive activity tracking; Lots of sensors; Good display

Overpromises on battery life; Poor third-party app support; Jittery user experience

The Huawei GT 2e is a “light” smartwatch at best but if you’re looking for a full-featured fitness-focused wearable then this is an excellent buy. The watch does many things well, is well put together, and it doesn’t break the bank. It helps that it looks good on the wrist, too.

Sporty; pleasing design with good build; Excellent display; Impressive suite of fitness and health features; Swimproof; Outstanding battery life; Affordable; Huawei Health offers extensive data insight

Limited smartwatch experience; Not the most fluid UI; No third-party app support; No built-in speaker; Inconsistent features between Android and iOS app

There’s a lot to like about the Huawei Watch GT2e, especially for runners who get a good, solid watch with plenty of metrics and insights. The Firstbeat advanced analytics will be a firm favourite – and it excels at workout tracking, although we’d like more options to hand off data to existing...

Strong fitness insights; 100 tracked sports; Great sleep tracking
