Huawei just dropped a new wearable, the Watch GT Runner 2. This isn’t your average fitness tracker; it’s a professional-grade running smartwatch that was co-created with none other than marathon legend and two-time Olympic champion, Eliud Kipchoge.
It’s built to help you train smarter, whether you’re gunning for a marathon PR or just trying to finish your first 5K.
The collaboration brings together Huawei’s top-tier wearable tech with insights from world-class athletes, ensuring precision tracking, science-driven training, and, most importantly, all-day comfort.
This watch is loaded with innovations perfect for serious marathon prep. One of the coolest features is the 3D floating antenna architecture, which should offer ultra-precise GPS, so losing your signal in a tunnel or a heavily shaded trail is practically a thing of the past. Huawei has also integrated its lactate threshold detection algorithm and running power metric.
Basically, you get detailed data on your training intensity and muscle strength, allowing you to fine-tune your workouts and nail that perfect race strategy. Plus, the industry-first Intelligent Marathon Mode offers dynamic pace guidance, smart refuel reminders, and real-time race support, all right there on your wrist.
Crafted from lightweight nanomolded titanium alloy, the Watch GT Runner 2 is Huawei’s lightest running watch yet, tipping the scales at a mere 43.5 grams. It looks great, too, coming in three sharp colorways: Dawn Orange, Dusk Blue, and Midnight Black. It includes a breathable AirDry woven strap and a bonus fluoroelastomer strap in the box.
Oh, and for extra convenience, the watch debuts Curve Pay integration, meaning you can grab a post-run smoothie without fumbling for your wallet.
The Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 is available now for £349.99. But here’s the deal: there’s a launch promotion running until April 19, dropping the price to £319.99 and throwing in a free extra strap and partner benefits valued at over £109.
The Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 is a better running smartwatch than the GT Runner, offering great features and impressive tracking for less cash than the competition.
