Huawei Launches New Professional Running Watches
Huawei has unveiled its latest wearable innovations at a global product launch in Madrid, Spain. The event marked the company's return to the professional running watch market after a five-year hiatus.
- The flagship professional running watch unveiled is the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2, which features a new 3D floating antenna architecture for significantly improved GPS accuracy. - Huawei has enlisted two-time Olympic marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge as the global ambassador for the new watch, who collaborated with the company on its development. - The watch introduces an "Intelligent Marathon Mode" that acts as a personal coach, offering race planning and real-time guidance. - Constructed from a lightweight titanium alloy, the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 weighs 43.5 grams, making it the company's lightest and most skin-friendly watch to date. - This launch marks a significant re-entry into the professional running watch market for Huawei, competing with established brands like Garmin and Coros. - The previous model, the Huawei Watch GT Runner, was released in 2021 but was ultimately discontinued as it couldn't fully compete in the dedicated running watch space. - The event in Madrid also saw the launch of several other products, including the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro, HUAWEI MatePad Mini, and the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 5 earbuds. - The HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 has a suggested retail price of 2999 DKK and is slated to be available at select retailers from March 23rd.
