HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner provides up to 14 days of battery life from a full charge, and up to 7 days ofbattery life in heavy usage scenarios8. It can be charged with a mobile phone wirelessly9, allowing you to charge it at any time without anybattery life concerns.
HUAWEI Watch GT Runner supports a whole host of health monitoring functions, including abnormalheart-rate notifications, 24/7 blood-oxygen monitoring, sleep monitoring, and period management. Apersonalised health manager on your wrist.
A dependable mid-range sports watch, the Huawei Watch GT Runner shares a lot of DNA with other wearables in the GT series, but puts a fresh spin on things with a lighter design optimized to establish a faster GPS lock. The AMOLED display is stunning, battery life is impressive, and the training tools are well suited to both new runners and those who've found that their training has stalled. Experienced athletes may want more accurate location tracking and detailed mapping, and there's no US release on the horizon, but it's a worthy rival to the likes of the Garmin Venu 2 is you're aiming to kick your training up a notch.
The Huawei Watch GT Runner is very similar in design and features to the Huawei Watch GT 3, which was released just a few months earlier. It's lighter and more breathable though, with a few significant tweaks like a relocated GPS aerial that's now better positioned to pick up a signal as quickly as possible.
GPS tracking isn't quite as accurate as we might have liked, but the Watch GT Runner's heart rate monitoring is on a par with watches costing several times as much, which is excellent news for anyone who wants to add some gym-based cross-training to their training program.
It also offers SpO2 and stress tracking, and its sleep monitoring is particularly impressive, even picking up naps and factoring into your daily energy and recovery stats. All of this data is presented clearly in the Huawei Health mobile app, where you can tailor the watch's settings to download additional apps or tweak health monitoring settings.
Battery life is very impressive, particularly for an AMOLED smartwatch, and our review unit lost less than half its charge during a week of regular use with daily workouts, exceeding Huawei's estimates.
Unfortunately, the Watch GT Runner isn't likely to go on sale in the US any time soon. If you're looking for a similarly specced sports watch in North America, we'd recommend taking a look at the Coros Pace 2, Polar Vantage V2, and Garmin Venu 2 (or the Venu 2 Plus if you also want to make calls from your wrist).
Unlike the Watch GT 3, which arrived just a couple of months earlier, there's no metal bezel here, and no curved glass to give the illusion of a larger display. Instead, this is a watch designed for practicality. It has an resin case that comes in either gray or black, and the edge of the screen is protected by a ceramic bezel.
The case measures 46mm in diameter, and weighs in at 38.5g. Our review unit was 51g with the strap attached, which is pretty light, and roughly the same as the Garmin Forerunner 55. However, if you want something feather-light then you should investigate the Suunto 5 Peak, which is just 39g including the strap.
Huawei claims that the Watch GT Runner is inspired by the air intakes on a supercar. That translates to lugs that have are hollow rather than solid chunks of plastic, allowing for better airflow around your wrist. The upper lug also contains the watch's GPS aerial, which has been relocated to allow for better reception.
On the right-hand edge you'll find a titanium alloy crown, which can be pressed to open the main menu or return to the home screen, and twisted to scroll through options. Below this is a single button, which is used to select settings and view stats.
You won't be using these physical controls too much though, because the Watch GT Runner also has a great looking 1.43in AMOLED display. It's seriously bright, and responds readily to touch and slide gestures (though it locks during workouts to prevent accidental presses,
The Huawei Watch GT Runner is powered up using the same wireless charging puck as other watches in the series. Just place the watch on top, and it will begin charging automatically with no need for clips or connectors,
Huawei estimates battery life of two weeks in normal use, and in our tests the watch exceeded that significantly. After a week of use, with one tracked workout per day (half of which used the watch's GPS receiver and half of which were indoors), the watch still had 62% charge remaining. That's very impressive; for context, the Garmin Venu 2, which has a similar AMOLED display, has a maximum battery life of 11 days in typical use.
The battery life would have been lowered if we'd enabled automatic SpO2 tracking in the Huawei Health app rather than performing occasional spot checks, but for a mid-range running watch, it's tough to beat.
In terms of sensors and everyday tools, the Huawei Watch GT Runner is very similar to the Huawei Watch GT 3. For starters, it's packing the same dual-band location tracking, with support for GPS, Beidou, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS satellite systems, which allow the watch to better pinpoint your position in areas with limited line of sight between you and the sky. That's particularly beneficial for a watch like this, which you're likely to be using frequently in built-up environments (more on that shortly).
You also get a SpO2 sensor to monitor blood oxygen levels, which is particularly handy if you're using your watch to acclimatize yourself to training at altitude. It's not a medical device though, so although there has been research into the use of smartwatches for predicting the onset of illness, the Watch GT Runner is strictly for sports training. This sensor can be used continuously, just overnight, or to run spot checks post-workout. The choice of options is welcome, particularly if you want to extend battery life.
All-day stress tracking is available too (presented as a neat bar chart showing changes in stress over time), and there's a skin temperature sensor (a feature that Apple has yet to implement in its smartwatch at the time of writing). Like the Huawei Watch GT 3, there Watch GT Runner has no ECG sensor to check for signs of atrial fibrillation, but you can choose to set high and low heart rate alerts.
Unlike many sports watches, the Huawei Watch GT Runner allows you to make and receive calls through your wrist (a real boon when you're running outdoors and don't want to reach for your phone). Your handset must be within Bluetooth range, but you don't need to touch it.
A little preparation is necessary, as you can't select people from your phone's full address book. Instead, you have to create a list of 10 favorite contacts using the Huawei Health app. You can then scroll through these using the watch, which also stores call logs in case you need to dial them back.
Holding the bottom right button down will allow you to access Huawei's voice assistant, but only if you own one a Huawei phone running EMUI 10.1 or later. If you want to use Google Assistant, Bixby or Siri, the Garmin Venu 2 Plus would be a better choice.
