TruSeenâ„¢ 5.0+


Low Consumption, High Precision

The newly upgraded heart rate module includes eight photodiodes in a circular layout and two sets of light sources, combined with a curved glass lens for a comfortable wear and reduced external light interference. The AI algorithm has been upgraded to filter out noise signals more effectively, allowing accurate heart-rate monitoring even during strenuous exercise.

Dynamic Heart Rate Monitoring

The all-new TruSeenâ„¢ 5.0+ hardware upgrade in HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner provides vastly improved heart-rate monitoring even for hard interval training. Experience reliable readings, equalling those of a chest strap, with 97% accuracy within 10 bpm.

Faster Satellite Location

The antenna is protected by composite fibre material and hidden within the watch lug. The innovative floating antenna design significantly reduces weight and interference, while providing improved connectivity and GPS performance.

Dual-Band Five-System GNSS


Accurate Track Positioning

HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner supports the 5 major navigation satellite systems, dual-band real-time concurrent calls, faster satellite search speed, and more accurate positioning.

HUAWEI TruSportâ„¢ Scientific Running Program

Hardware upgrades ensure more accurate data monitoring, and with HUAWEI TruSportâ„¢ professional Scientific Running Program, the watch can provide entry-level runners with data and suggestions on training intensity, training volume, recovery time, and more, all from a single run. For advanced runners, receive a running ability evaluation, physical fitness/fatigue status updates, plus long-term training performance analysis. And if you're an elite runner, get monitoring and evaluation of your running technique. Become a better runner with HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner, whatever your current level.

Running Ability Index

How to quantify running ability efficiently and accurately has always been a difficult problem for runners. Based on the HUAWEI TruSportâ„¢ Scientific Running Program, Huawei presents the Running Ability Index to help runners accurately assess their running ability and level.

Visualise Your Progress

Huawei Running Ability Index provides evaluations based on multi-dimensional data including historical running heart rate, pace, distance, and frequency. You'll receive a precise breakdown of your current running ability and how it compares to your goals. Get the information you need to formulate personal training plans and reliably improve your running performance.

Training Load

To achieve your running goals you need to train hard, but also smart. Know the appropriate time to rest after a high-intensity session and what the right training volume is for you, thanks to the Weekly Training Load feature. Avoid injury and get to where you want to be faster.

Training Suggestions

With your current running ability and training load as the core data, combined with multiple other data analyses, HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner provides you with scientifically factored training data and suggestions, including fatigue levels, recovery time, aerobic and anaerobic training intensity, training indices, and more. Discover a fitter way to adjust your training plan.

AI Running Coach

Customise your training plan based on your gender, height, and weight, plus heart rate, distance and frequency of runs, pace, and more. Divided into 4 training periods — initial, upgrade, consolidation, and reduction — you'll get a clear pathway to help you improve at the right pace.

Your Coach, Your Plan

The AI Running Coach scientifically analyses your weekly workout data, automatically adjusting your running schedule for the following week so you're always making good progress. View clearly mapped-out training reports in the HUAWEI Health App and chart how close you are to attaining your goals. Make running a joy, not a chore.

Real-Time Voice Guidance

Your customised running plan is automatically synced from the HUAWEI Health App to HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner, so it's there whenever you go for a run. And as you're running, the Real-Time Voice Trainer feature can let you know your heart rate, pace, and other body data, as well as your current training goals, via audio alerts — meaning you can concentrate more fully on your route.

Route Sharing and Navigation

Share your favourite running routes and receive recommended routes from friends7. Once you've got your route mapped out, you can explore it offline as you're running, as well as use the return function to get yourself safely back home.

HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner provides up to 14 days of battery life from a full charge, and up to 7 days of battery life in heavy usage scenarios8. It can be charged with a mobile phone wirelessly9, allowing you to charge it at any time without any battery life concerns.
