HUAWEI Watch GT Active and Elegant with AMOLED display, new colors announced

HUAWEI at its Paris event introduced HUAWEI Watch GT Active and Elegant Editions, with an improved design and a new bezel pattern color compared to the Watch GT Sports and Classic Editions that were announced back in October last year and launched in India earlier this month. Even though the Watch GT Active comes with similar specifications as the previous generation including the same 14-day battery life, the Elegant Edition comes with a smaller 42mm case with ceramic bezel cutting.

The Elegant Edition has a smaller battery so it offers only 7 days of battery life with normal use, 14 days while receiving messages and call notifications with heartrate monitoring turned off and 10 hours while continuous exercise tracking with heartrate monitoring and GPS turned on.  All these retain HUAWEI TruSeen 3.0 heartrate monitoring, HUAWEI TruSleep 2.0 and lots more.

These watches have Triathlon mode that can record a complete data of your triathlon activity of  swimming, cycling and running, including activity transitions that will be available via OTA update for old GT models soon. More traditional or modern digital watch faces will also be available soon. These have new Fluroelastomer straps improves the overall texture of the watch, but also creates a more durable and comfortable wearing experience.
