Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro Unboxing and First Impressions

It looks hella good

Published

November 6, 2020

Huawei has been making smartwatches for about five years now. Crazy, right? It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.That half-a-decade of experience is coming together in a timepiece that looks and actually is smart — the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro.

You might have seen the actual watch itself already as it had already been announced two months ago ahead of the Huawei Mate 40 series launch. Today, we’re showing you what’s inside the box and giving you a bit of a closer look at the device.

It comes in this unassuming black packaging with the name of the device in shiny gold.

The box looks unkempt here but that happens in shipping sometimes. Don’t let that distract you from the fact that the packaging looks premium AF.

Taking out the top cover, right away you’re greeted by the Watch GT 2 Pro next to a gold Huawei logo.

Lift the pull tab on the right and you’ll see an enclosure on the right side of the box.

Lift the enclosure and you’ll see the USB-C charging cable and the circular charging cradle.

You’ll also see some paperwork. Those are the user guide and warranty card.

Would it have been cooler if these were also in black? Impractical. But cool.

Here’s a closer look at the box with the other inclusions out of the way.

Here’s the Watch GT 2 Pro out of the box.

You have double strap retainers to hold the thing down firmly.

On the other side of the strap, written discretely is the device’s name.

Much like the rest of the Watch GT series, this has a double crown design.

The top crown is the power button while the bottom crown is a customizable function button.

Power it up and you’ll be asked to get the Huawei Health app and pair right away.

You’ll get more customization options when you pair it with a Huawei phone, but it works with other smartphones too.

Paired with iPhone. Heh.

Here’s what it looks like on its side.

And this is what it looks like when worn.

First impressions

The first thing that really jumps out at you is how clean and minimalistic the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro looks. There’s no external bezel to mimic the look of traditional timepieces. All you get is this clean look that lets you focus on the 1.39-inch circular AMOLED display.

That may not seem like much, but believe me, it’s so huge looking at it the way you normally would look at a wristwatch. The display is made of scratch resistant sapphire glass. Huawei’s fine print claims it’s much, much tougher than the regular glass found on most other watches — smart or otherwise.

It also has a ceramic back and titanium backing to complete that premium feel. And I don’t say premium lightly. This thing looks and feels expensive.

The smartwatch is being marketed with the #PowerOnYourWrist hashtag in the Philippines. Power here, I’d like to think, relates more to how certain prominent people hold a higher stature and wider influence. That’s what it feels like to have the watch on your wrist — like you should command attention.

Anyway, that’s all we have for now. If you have any questions about its features, feel free to send it over through our Facebook Page or Twitter account and we’ll gladly try to answer those as we review the device.
