by

Huawei Watch GT 2 users are in luck, because it has begun to receive an update with very interesting new functions , among which it stands out that they can now use Petal Maps through the smartwatch.

We have already reviewed the Huawei Watch GT 2, a very complete smartwatch that uses its own LiteOS operating system. Although since the Huawei Watch 3 the manufacturer has changed to Harmony OS as the operating system (also on mobiles, tablets and TVs), it does not neglect the updates of previous devices.

The 11.0.14.90 update of the Huawei Watch GT 2 is being deployed, at least in Spain, and at El Grupo Informático we have already received the new software. Since it occupies 227 MB , a very considerable figure for a clock, the process can take a while to complete.

The update is done through the Huawei Health app (Huawei Health), and it is recommended to keep the battery at a high level and the Bluetooth stable, so it is best to place the Watch GT 2 near the mobile and not move it.
