Porsche Design and Huawei today released the new Porsche Design Huawei Watch GT 2 at the Huawei Mate 40 Series launch event. Huawei’s latest smartwatch is a classic yet luxurious addition to the Huawei Watch GT 2 family and marks the brand’s collaboration with Porsche Design in the smartwatch industry. The Porsche Design Huawei Watch GT 2 is a stunning combination of Huawei’s innovative technology and Porsche Design’s pure and functional design philosophy, resulting in a brand new look that ushers in the next era of smartwatch design.
Classic sports car-inspired design and materials
The Porsche Design Huawei Watch GT 2 features a streamlined titanium body that pays homage to high-speed supercar design. The bezel, with the iconic Porsche Design logo integrated at the top, is seamlessly incorporated into the watch face giving it a premium look. The smartwatch comes with the innovative quick fit titanium link strap, which users can easily disassemble or adjust and is made from titanium and polished with a rigorous sandblasting process for a perfect matte finish. Huawei’s new titanium buckle is accented with the Porsche Design Icon and makes the process of putting on and taking off the watch quick and easy. The result is a flawlessly designed smartwatch that is premium, mature and scratch-resistant, ideal for everyday wear and outdoor activities.
Two digital crowns feature Porsche Design’s iconic red circle and are a testament to the innovative and high-end manufacturing of the watch. With a gentle press, users can easily explore the various settings and configurations.
The customised Porsche Design watch faces are beautifully crafted and provide a sharp yet smart aesthetic. The classic and always-on watch face allows time to pass by elegantly on the wrist. Both the watch hands and numbers are easy to read. Less is more with the E-PURE watch face which takes the iconic analogue dial to the digital era. Motorsport-inspired racing lines displayed on the back of the Porsche Design Huawei Mate 40 RS are transferred from the Smartphone to the racing watch face, paying homage to the brand’s sports car DNA and racing history. The smartwatch also offers an innovative stopwatch face that allows users to start timing with a tap of the screen.
Smart workout modes and health monitoring
The Porsche Design Huawei Watch GT 2 is built with excellence from the outside in. The new smartwatch provides an impressive two-week long battery life, offering a reliable digital health and fitness manager for users.
The smartwatch supports data tracking for more than 100 workout modes, including indoor and outdoor sports such as golfing, skiing, mountain climbing and more. Combining exclusive and pure design, great durability and 50-meter water-resistance, the Porsche Design Huawei Watch GT 2 is an ideal companion for all occasions.
Advanced heart rate tracking is available via upgraded Huawei TruSeen 4.0+ heart rate monitoring technology and a 6-in-1 LED lens, which is installed on the delicate ceramic back of the watch. The lens is made of sapphire for better light penetration and accurate heart rate tracking, while the ceramic rear case feels comfortable on the skin. The Porsche Design Huawei Watch GT 2 offers comprehensive health monitoring around the clock and measures everything from heart rate, stress level, sleep quality and SpO2 level. In addition, the smartwatch supports all-day continuous monitoring of SpO2 level, caring for users’ health day and night.
