HUAWEI WATCH GT 2’s health features.

earable technology today has intricately woven itself into the very fabric of our modern lives, with various wearable devices becoming mainstream. While
these devices serve primarily as extensions of user’s smart phones, their functionality when it comes to health monitoring plays a major role as well. With the
HUAWEI WATCH GT 2, Huawei’s latest foray into the wearables market, Huawei brings to its users a smart watch packed with features that focus on the user’s
health, ranging from monitoring body data to sports and even sleeping patterns. Here is how you can use your HUAWEI WATCH GT 2’s various health features.
KEEP TRACK OF EVERY WORKOUT SLEEP MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE
MONITOR YOUR HEART RATE AT ALL TIMES RELIEVE YOUR STRESS LEVELS
Be it running, swimming, cycling or even free training, every kind of workout you
do has a different effect on your body. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 is capable
of recognising up to 15 different kinds of sports, including indoor and outdoor
sports, swimming and free training, recording all the essential data accurately for
a more analytical approach to your fitness regimen. In addition to recording the
data, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 also helps you with better workouts, through
preinstalled plans and courses. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 will also notify you to
get up and exercise at regular intervals, emitting a tone that encourages the user
to stand up and move if they have been inactive for a certain amount of time.
Additionally, it also records your daily step count, number of calories burned as
well as the number of times you stand.
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 comes with the all-new self-developed TruSeen™
3.5 heart technology that accurately monitors heart rate in real-time, along with
support for oxygen saturation monitoring, giving users an easy understanding of
their heart rate. If the heart rate is higher than 100bpm or lower than 50bpm for
more than 10 minutes in its inactive state, the smart watch will alert the user.
Thanks to the built-in HUAWEI TruSleep™ 2.0 technology, the HUAWEI WATCH
GT 2 can monitor sleep quality, real-time heart rate monitoring and sleep
breathing quality, then uses this data with Huawei AI technology to score sleep
quality. Accurately identifying six typical sleep problems such as difficulty falling
asleep, shallow sleep, light sleeping during the night, early waking, multiple
dreams and irregular work schedule, the smart watch can provide hundreds of
sleep improvement suggestions to improve your sleep. Additionally, you will also
get eight detailed reports that include night time sleep duration, deep sleep ratio,
shallow sleep ratio, rapid eye movement ratio, deep sleep continuity, awake
times, respiratory quality, comprehensive sleep monitoring and many more, all
catered towards improving your sleep patterns.
Stress is one of the most common threats today and thanks to the self-developed
HUAWEI TruRelax™ technology, users can relieve stress by recording heart rate
variability values and following the instructions for breathing activities that will
help them calm down, reducing the risk of stress-related threats.
Packing the Kirin A1, Huawei’s first self-developed wearable chip that ensures powerful
performance with low power consumption, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 46mm series can operate
continuously for up to two weeks, with both the intelligent heart rate monitor and call notification
functions switched on along with improved battery life in GPS tracked sports mode. In the classic
mode, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 42mm series can operate continuously for up to one week.
