    Is huawei watch gt 2 waterproof?
    petra
    about 2 years ago
    Both watches are powered by Huawei's homegrown Kirin A1 chipset, with Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, and optical heart rate sensors. A 5ATM rating means they're water resistant at a depth of 50 meters for up to 10 minutes a time.

    Does huawei watch 2 work with iphone?
    marissa_thiel
    about 2 years ago
    At first, one thing you should bear in mind is that the HUAWEI Watch 2 is compatible with iOS devices equipped with iOS 9.0 or later. Therefore, as long as your iPhone version is not iPhone 5s, iPhone 5, iPhone 4, or iPhone 4s, all of the other iPhone can always be used with HUAWEI Watch 2

    The Huawei Watch 2 is one of few watches that supports 4G connectivity, though not in the US, and does fitness tracking as well as any other wearable.

    The Watch 2 tops out at IP68, which means it's water resistant up to a meter for up to 30 minutes. In other words: you can shower with it, but swimming is out.

    The Huawei Watch GT2e is a pretty feature packed watch, so we'll go through those here and drill into how effective they are. The watch has GPS on board, which feeds into a pretty complete sports tracking package.

    Does the huawei watch 2 track sleep?
    natividad.collier
    about 2 years ago
    Just go to bed with your HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 Pro on your wrist! Yes, that's it – your watch will detect when you have fallen asleep, track your sleep stages (such as REM, light and deep sleep), and sense when you have woken up – because HUAWEI TruSleep is enabled.
