After the great success of Huawei Watch GT in the global markets, Huawei came up with its successor dubbed as Huawei Watch GT 2 back in September this year. Kirin A1, GPS support, and 455mAh battery are the highlights of Huawei’s new smart wearable. If you’re one of the owners of Huawei Watch GT 2 global variant, then you might be happy to hear that the company has started rolling firmware update (v1.0.2.28) to the smartwatch.
The update for Huawei Watch GT 2 carries the version 1.0.2.28 and is about 10.62MB in size. It brings in NFC support for global variants which was earlier limited to the Chinese units.
Apart from the NFC, the update also introduces OneHop for you to customize your own watch face (phone must be EMUI 10.0 or above). It also adds quick pairing for FreeBuds 3 and brings sound settings for incoming calls or notification alerts. There is also a fix for display issues and improves the accuracy of the heart rate monitoring during workouts.
The new software update can be installed directly via the Huawei Watch GT 2 or through the Huawei Health app. You can check our guide on how to download and install the latest firmware on Huawei Watch GT 2 here.
