Review on HUAWEI Watch GT 2 (42mm) - AMOLED Display, 1 πŸ•°οΈ Week Battery, GPS, Heart Rate Monitor, Night Black (International Model, No Warranty) by Ha Joon Joon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Quality is disappointing, the product is bad.

This is the last device from Huawei that I buy. Enough! Extremely disgusting attitude towards those who paid them money for their products. No attempt to fix bugs or implement features that consumers are asking for even though the models are over a year old! Has pros: Overall appearance is good. Good speakerphone capability when calling on the watch. Autonomy is standard for watches without a full-fledged OS, although it is half as much as they say in the advertisement on the box if you use the watch. The heart rate monitor is more or less good, although the latest firmware has objectively worsened the situation, and it is impossible to roll back. In general, as far as software is concerned, everything is catastrophically bad. Has some cons - GPS is terrible, there is nothing to even compare with, it's just a disaster. Huge errors, reaching hundreds of meters, some wildest cuts in houses and gardens, some unknown twisted loops. And all in the open! And this is not an isolated case, most owners have this. - Huawei will not give you the recorded workout track. You won't be able to upload it to Strava or any other fitness app. Look in the Huawei health app - and that's enough for you. The craftsmen came up with a way to pull out the data, but it takes a lot of gestures, it only works on rooted phones and a PC is required to convert. The rest is to suffer. - The pedometer is lying. More precisely, Huawei programmers, for some unknown reason, in an unknown and uncontrolled way by the user, summarize the steps from the watch and phone. And there is no way to turn it off! If the phone's pedometer is lying - the results of measuring the clock automatically - in the trash. - The dials are only English and Chinese. There are a bunch of beautiful 2022 dials and new ones appear every day, but huawei will not let you put them in the regular way. Only those terrible non-Russified ones that are in their store. 2022 account and phone not from huawei? Only free watch faces are available. - Want to listen to music from the watch? Suffer again! All downloaded files fall into a heap, the file names are not visible, and if the tags are not registered, you will not distinguish where, what is the main thing: there is no way in the application to upload files directly to the playlist. No! You have to dump everything in a heap, and then one by one find the files you need and add to the playlist. This is just some kind of sabotage, programmers cannot be so backward. - Even such a primitive thing as blocking buttons during training is not done. Are you cycling? After two hours of training, you will find that the recording stopped 5 minutes after the start. The button was pressed with a glove, the stop training button was displayed and it worked from the sweaty jersey. Primitively, double tapping to confirm would resolve the issue. No, they don't, complaints are ignored.
