Huawei Watch GT2e leaks – with updated design but familiar specs
Huawei wioll announce its latest smartwatch, the Huawei Watch GT2e, on 26 March – according to new rumors.
The report, run by WinFuture, predicts a release at a Huawei event in Paris – although the idea of that happening with France in lockdown seems ludicrous.
But there’s so much detail in the leak – including some tasty product images – that it’s just a matter of when we’ll see this upcoming smartwatch.
So what do we have? Well, the Watch 2e moniker points to a minor or incremental update on the Huawei Watch GT2. And that plays out when you look at the detail.

Visually things have changed (if this leak is to be believed). A slightly tweaked design points at a sporty target market. The buttons are still laid out the same at 2 and 4 o’clock and the lugs have been smoothed out.
The overall look seeming to be a love child of the Apple Watch Nike Edition in the straps and the older Samsung Gear Sport in the body.
However, despite the redesign, in terms of specs the GT 2e seems very similar to the GT 2.
Like its predecessor it has a 1.39-inch screen with a 454×454 AMOLED display.
However, RAM has been increased to 16MB (up from just 2MB) so we’re looking at a big boost in performance.
The battery stays the same size at 455mAh and you still get 14 days on a single charge.
Given its incremental nature we wouldn’t be surprised to see Huawei announce this device regardless of whether events go ahead.
Stay tuned for official confirmation.
