The new Huawei Watch GT Runner arrives in Spain as a sports smartwatch proposal for runners who want a device that helps them improve their training, and that is also suitable as a day-to-day watch.
For example, the Watch GT Runner offers a coach based on artificial intelligence to increase our performance, which indicates the appropriate level of demand for training, estimates the optimal rest time and plans the next sessions.
It also values the results numerically with the running capacity index and is capable of calculating the lactate threshold (which determines when fatigue begins to trigger).
Other functions have been optimized for running, such as the TruSeen 5.0+ heart rate monitor with 8 photodiodes , which according to Huawei achieves an accuracy similar to a chest strap even in very demanding workouts.
The location uses a double external antenna, which speeds up positioning, and is compatible with 5 satellite systems . Its high precision allows the Watch GT Runner to control urban races with precision, and it has a return mode in case we get lost outdoors and need to return to the starting point.
The smartwatch shares many functions of other models in the range, such as the recent Huawei Watch 3, including monitoring of more than 100 sports , sleep or stress level.
Includes SPO2 blood oxygen sensor (with VO2 max monitoring) , abnormal heart rate alerts, and menstrual period tracking. In addition to managing mobile calls and notifications, we can listen to music, and even save it directly to the internal storage of the Huawei Watch GT Runner.
