Dubai: Huawei Consumer Business Group (BG) today announced its first sports watch, the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner. The latest smartwatch is not only the wearer’s smart assistant but is also a personal training coach. 

“Since 2015, the concept of health management has become increasingly popular. As people pay more and more attention to their health, the demand for health monitoring of smart devices is becoming stronger. We put forward the concept of active health management in 2018, using our leading technology capabilities to provide users with top notch active health detection management services. This is also in line with Huawei’s vision committed to bringing the digital world to everyone, every family, and every organisation, and build a smart world with all things connected”, said Keith Li, Country Manager for Huawei Consumer Business Group UAE.

Built for Sports

After nearly 6 years of development, Huawei finally developed a set of scientific fitness system and named it HUAWEI TruSportTM. With the algorithms, it can accurately collect various physical indicators generated by the human body during running, scientifically analyse the collected data, and present the most reasonable training tips. Based on HUAWEI TruSportTM, Huawei developed the Running Ability Index (RAI).

HUAWEI TruSportTM provides training load, which can scientifically evaluate training volume. It helps runners to scientifically quantify their training. It also determine the degree of recovery and monitor short-term fatigue, providing training index for users to understand their training status.

The HUAWEI GT Runner features the new HUAWEI TruSeenTM 5.0+ heart rate monitoring technology, bringing a newly upgraded heart rate module, 8 PDs in a circular arrangement, enhanced dynamic heart rate monitoring, more signal input, and an overall improved heart rate monitoring accuracy.

HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner has great performance in a small watch body and features five major satellite systems: GPS + Beidou + GLONASS + Galileo + QZSS. In addition, it also has a built-in Dual-Band Five-System GNSS positioning chip with a suspended hidden antenna that hides the positioning antenna in the lugs made of polymer fibre material. The innovative design improves the performance of the GPS antenna by 135 per cent which solves the pain points of balancing positioning accuracy and compact design, and further realises marathon track-level precise positioning without trajectory drift.

HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner adopts lightweight materials such as the high-strength polymer fibre body, which is light and comfortable. The weight of the entire watch body is as light as 38.5g. Its antibacterial silicone watchstrap has good water-resistance, so runners do not need to worry about sweat and dirt contacting the strap during training. It also comes with an exclusive data watch face which users can customise according to their needs.

Up to 2-weeks Long Battery Life

HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner inherits the powerful battery life of Huawei's wearable family, delivering 14-day battery life in smart mode under typical usage scenarios and offers 8-day of long battery life in heavy usage scenario.

All-day Health Management

The HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner provides continuous, real-time, and precise SpO2 (Blood Oxygen Saturation), sleep and stress monitoring features for a comprehensive health management.

The HUAWEI TruSleep™ 2.0 sleep monitoring technology performs sleep stage monitoring, real-time heart rate monitoring, sleep breathing monitoring, and provide you with assessment of sleep quality without disturbing your sleep. The HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner also monitors your stress 24/7 and it will even notify you if your stress levels are high and even help you out with breathing guidance to help relieve some of the stress off you.
