Huawei launches the next generation of a professional running watch in Madrid

Huawei is set to unveil its latest professional running watch, the new generation HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner, on February 26 in Madrid. This watch was the result of five years of continuous research and development, and was developed with the direct participation of international athletes, and represents a qualitative leap in the accuracy of measuring heart rate zones, lactate threshold, and GPS tracking in complex terrain. The watch features Huawei’s proprietary TruSense and Sunflower positioning technologies and is designed for the professional athlete market. It will be officially launched alongside the new Mate 80 Pro and the all-new HUAWEI MatePad Mini.

The upcoming running watch has already proven itself to be a professional tool for the elite on the international stage even before its official launch. Some of the world’s best runners from the dsm-firmenich Running Team were spotted wearing an as-yet-unreleased running watch during the Burj2Burj half marathon held in Dubai earlier this month. After undergoing rigorous competitive testing before its official launch, the watch has already aroused great interest from the public.

Real-world data from world-class athletes, including heart rate zones, lactate threshold fluctuations, and performance at high altitudes, is fed directly into Huawei’s advanced algorithms. This collaboration ensures that the watch’s features are fully compatible with the basic needs of professional runners. For world-class runners at this level, a running watch is a crucial essential tool. The new generation of WATCH GT Runner is able to provide precise positioning for stable trajectory and speed data, even in difficult environments.

Having established itself with this elite running squad on the international stage, the new Huawei Running Watch proves that its performance is indeed worth the wait. This confidence comes as a result of five years of Huawei’s continuous investment in research and development in running technologies. Moreover, Huawei has also recruited more than 100 runners for long-term testing. In addition, Huawei has developed machine learning models to assess fatigue in order to provide runners with scientific training guidance. These technical achievements have laid a solid foundation for the new generation of running watch.

Making its return to the global scene after a three-year hiatus, the Mate series is also expected to make a strong impact with the Mate 80 Pro. This pioneering smartphone will be launched alongside the all-new HUAWEI MatePad Mini, in a move that represents a major expansion of the Huawei ecosystem.

Huawei is preparing to set a new standard in the wearable device industry with its new watch designed for professional athletes. With the event set to take place in Madrid, the world will soon witness how five years of innovation will redefine the possibilities in sports performance tracking.
