Thanks to the “TruSport” system, the watch offers data and suggestions for high-intensity training, training volume, recovery time (vital part) and much more information with a single race, although as with all these systems, the more you run with it, the better it will inform you.

It shows your progress in a very visual way, understanding what level you are at and a comparison with the goals you have set for yourself.

Training suggestions or its load level are two metrics that are also present and that help you better choose the level of effort you should make.

A much more precise GPS for your races

Huawei has worked on giving this watch a better quality when it comes to measuring your running data using GPS. To do this, instead of using a small antenna or using the bezel, has integrated the GPS antenna in the lugs of the watch itself.

This allows it to have better quality and connectivity with the satellites, which translates into much more precise positioning, something important when you want to know exactly where you have run.

In addition, it is compatible with the most common systems, such as GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and others.

Monitoring your body with more sensors

Upgrading the heart rate sensor allows you to improve your performance and bring you even closer to the standard of chest straps. According to Huawei, with an accuracy of 97%.

It also has abnormal heart rate notifications so you can see a doctor, 24/7 blood oxygen monitoring, sleep quality monitoring and period management for women.

Battery up to 2 weeks

The battery of this watch, even with a large screen, a more accurate GPS system and improvements in its software, remains in an autonomy of 14 days of normal use. This puts it on par with their other watch, the Watch GT 3.

If you are a person who uses the watch intensively, either because you use notifications, GPS and the screen on a lot, even so reaches 7 days of use.

Weighs less than 40 grams

One of the problems with sports watches, especially those designed for outdoor activities, is that due to their design and materials, they become somewhat heavy. This Huawei Watch GT Runner has weighing only 40 grams.

This makes it one of the lightest sports smartwatches on the market. Something that may not be the first thing you think of, but the fact that you do not notice that you are wearing it when you run is a plus.
