The Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 sports a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with a 466×466 pixel resolution and up to 3,000 nits peak brightness. Huawei protects the screen with second-generation Kunlun Glass for improved durability.

The company has introduced a novel Intelligent Marathon Mode developed with the DSM-Firmenich Running Team in the Watch GT Runner 2. The wearable is said to provide structured training plans, personalised race preparation, and real-time race data. Runners can track pace, predicted finish times, and gaps to target during workouts.

The Huawei Watch GT 2 also includes a digital pacer, fuelling reminders, and advanced metrics such as lactate threshold, running power, and a Running Ability Index. The company adds that the Huawei Health app offers post-run recovery insights and form analysis.

In addition to running, the Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 supports more than 100 sports modes, including trail running, swimming, cycling, golf with access to over 17,000 courses in select markets, and freediving up to 40 metres. It carries 5 ATM and IP69 certifications for water and dust resistance. The watch also includes ECG monitoring, heart rate variability analysis, blood oxygen tracking, sleep monitoring with breathing awareness, and stress measurement.

A major highlight in the Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 is the new 3D floating antenna architecture, which the company says improves positioning accuracy by 20 percent over previous models. The watch supports dual-band L1+L5 GPS and multiple satellite systems, including GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, and NavIC. It can continue calculating route and distance even when signals are briefly lost in tunnels or dense city environments.

The Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 supports Bluetooth calling, NFC payments, standalone music playback, and QR code scanning. It charges wirelessly and is claimed to offer up to 14 days of battery life under light usage, up to 7 days under typical use, and up to 32 hours in outdoor workout mode with precise positioning enabled.

The company says that the Watch GT Runner 2 case, bezel, crown, and buttons are made of titanium alloy. The watch measures 43.5×43.5×10.7mm and weighs approximately 34.5g without the strap. It comes with a breathable AirDry woven strap that Huawei claims improves airflow by 25 percent, along with a fluoroelastomer strap.
