Hi Guys, 
  • HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 Debuts with Elite Performance Features
  • Run Lighter, Go Further with the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2
  • Designed for the Rhythm of the Run, Built for Every Breakthrough, the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2
Huawei has introduced the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2, a performance-focused smartwatch engineered to elevate every run. Designed with precision tracking, intelligent training tools, and a featherlight fit, it delivers a more accurate, more responsive running experience for both marathon enthusiasts and professional athletes.
New Era of Running

To ensure the device delivers on a professional-grade running experience, Huawei has teamed up with marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge and the renowned dsm-firmenich Running Team. The partnership combines the expertise of world-class athletes with Huawei’s advanced wearable technology and the result is the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2.

The HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 is designed with runners in mind, offering an ultra-slim profile and a streamlined fit. Crafted from lightweight, high-strength nanomolded titanium alloy, the watch weighs just 43.5 g, ensuring it’s comfortable and skin-friendly for long training sessions.

A feature resulting from its partnership with pro runners is Huawei’s innovative, non-intrusive lactate threshold detection algorithm and running power metric. This technology calculates the lactate threshold, giving runners unprecedented insights into their training intensity and muscle strength. By automatically analysing these metrics, users can fine-tune their workouts, develop customised training regimens, and create race strategies with confidence.

The HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 also introduces the industry-first Intelligent Marathon mode, designed to track a wide range of World Athletics Label Road Races. This feature monitors race performance and provides comprehensive guidance from start to finish. With dynamic pace guidance and smart refuel reminders, the watch provides real-time updates on the watch face, empowering runners to optimise their performance and confidently push their limits.

Crafted for Ultimate Performance
Equipped with a 3D floating antenna architecture and an improved antenna gasket design, the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 delivers a 250% improvement in positioning accuracy over its predecessor. This ensures precise tracking and positioning even in challenging environments like tunnels or shaded areas. And powered by the Huawei TruSense system, the watch provides accurate heart rate monitoring, helping runners scientifically manage their training load and receive timely alerts for potential risks.

Sports Aesthetics
Taking cues from the aerodynamic form of F1 racing wheel hubs, the design translates speed into a visual statement, available in three mood-driven colourways: Dawn Orange, Dusk Blue, and Midnight Black. The upgraded AirDry woven strap combines superior breathability with sweat-repellent properties, ensuring a dry, comfortable fit even during the most intense workouts. The straps’ striking gradient finish is achieved through a sophisticated wick-dyeing process and high-precision infrared positioning, resulting in a natural, stylish design. The unique hollow-out texture pays homage to the running track, symbolising the relentless spirit of running.

It is available in selected stores and retails from R6999 or from R199pm over 36 months.
