When it comes to smartwatches, devices need to balance style, functionality, and convenience with cost. So how does the Huawei Watch GT 2e measure up?

- Huawei Watch GT 2e has a premium look, is very sturdily built and has a classic smartwatch design with a round dial. The battery can go on for a week if you work out for about two hours every day and longer, close to 10 days if you sweat it out for about an hour daily.

In essence, the GT 2e is more of a fitness tracker disguised as a smartwatch. It doesn’t have a selection of third-party apps, and only supports the most basic of notifications, without letting you reply to messages. And that’s okay. If you want a bonafide smartwatch, there are plenty of other options out there. Instead, the GT 2e serves up impressive health and fitness tracking smarts, in a basic smartwatch package - all at a price that won’t destroy your wallet. Throw in the fact that you barely have to worry about charging it, and you’ve got yourself a very strong contender for your next fitness tracker.
