What new functions can be used on the huawei watch 1? Does things like watch only, pulse all day, better fitness etc work? In other words, why would I get the watch 2?

The new watch has LTE, GPS and NFC. The Huawei watch 1 can take advantage of all AW 2.0 features that do not require this hardware.
Have a search for some comparisons of the two watches. Even with the additional hardware on the new watch I still prefer the original for various reasons, mostly aesthetic.

Ok. So it's the same software and functions as the 2 without the hardware obviously.
Didn't find any good comparisons between the two versions of firmware sadly. I'm just interested in the original Huawei Watch.
Huawei Watch with the same software tricks as Watch 2 would be a treat. Would cost Huawei some business though.

Hi all,
i want to buy a smart watch. Can someone tell me what is the difference between honor magic watch 2 and Huawei watch 2.
i know that the design is different , but what about functionality and battery life? is the Huawei watch 2 worth the extra 40$ ?
Also there is a support for Hebrew language in both of them( notifications etc.)?
Hi,
No difference, 40 dollars less.
I like the design of honor more: it's very very beautifull.
Hebrew language is supported on GT2, I guess also on Magic Watch 2.
The Honor uses flat glass while the huawei uses glass with the edges having a larger curve. I prefer the feel of the huawei
The hardware and software of both smartwatches r the same..in fact honor belongs to huawie ..also..to activate honor u need to install to your phone the huawie HEALTH app and the last huawie SERVICES.....,!
Hi I'm thinking about getting a watch with no, EKG and BP, active2 seems to be one to fill all of this but I have a few questions :
1- is it hard to crack it to enable EKG and BP ? ( Normally I root Android phones so I have experience )
2- is battery life decent ?
3-can it work fine with any non rooted android phone ?
4- is it worth it ? I know the active 3 is out but I really don't feel like spending 500$ on a watch

1. No cracking. 2 APKs. One will install tpk on watch, and another is samsung health monitor for phone. 5 minutes to get it work.
2. Two days of normal usage. Wifi and lte on auto
3. Yes. Best with samsung of course.
4. Active 2 and watch 3 are nearly identical on hardware side. Only diference is how they looks.
The Active 2 would work well for you! Cheers

For step 1, what apk are you using to install tpks to the galaxy watch?

For apk check thread about bp. Adfree created one.
Hi all.
I menaged to download the app: My Bp Lab. But everytime i launch it it says it can't find the active watch.
So my question is: is there a method to measure Blood Pressure with the Galaxy Watch 2? In any non conventional modes? Or do i have to wait until MR Samsung decides to free it up for the other watches that are not Active?
Or did i buy the wrong Watch? The sensors might be the same, as i read.

Maybe heat.. or maybe I am drunken or maybe I am not smart enough...
Can you give simple Model Name?
Example:
SM-R800 is IMHO device of Galaxy Watch family...
Because I have NO idea what you mean with Galaxy Watch 2?
Best Regards
There is no such watch as galaxy watch 2...
There newest ones are the galaxy watch, galaxy ative 1 and 2 and finally galaxy watch 3
The exact model is:
Galaxy Watch SM-R805F
Sorry for that guys.
This model is just the "galaxy watch" (LTE). She's not equipped to measure blood pressure.
Sure it is equipped, it is only not ompatible. So i was asking if there is a way to make the app compatible. It has the same Sensors as the Active Watch.
This site is the prove for what i sayed.
https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/...the-galaxy-watch-and-the-galaxy-watch-active/
The two clocks are identicall in what sensors belong. So it is only an App feature (as the mylab is still in test phase. )
it seems to me that the galaxy active is not equipped with the blood pressure sensor (only the galaxy active 2 is equipped)
SM-R500 Galaxy Watch Active 1 work with Samsung Health Monitor and Blood Pressure. :good:
Best Regards
@adfree, could you post a screenshot ?
Thx
Hi everyone I have the R815F version, and I think this feature will only come in a few months with the arrival of Tizen 4.0.0.8, not before I think. And seeing that this watch has never had a correct follow-up, I think there is a risk of never having it.
Hi, I just wondering how to flash GT2 PRO firmware to my GT2. Hardware should be the same... Any ideas?
I also would like the skiing activity
Any new in this topic? There are few future for GT2 Pro but no for GT 2 ....
Bump
I'm very interested as well, it should indeed be possible since hardware seems the same.

Exactly!!!
We need some clever guy to find out how to jam the PRO firmware into it...
Until you have two pins in watch, not four, and you cant use USB connection to PC, and BT is locked to huawei health... Forget about that... Even if somebody will read firmware from watch memory, there will be no app tool ever to upload it into other watch...
May be posibble, but with standard tools, not via forum/internet... And with need to disassemple watch to get access to motherboard.
It looks like "the easiest" solution is extracting the firmware from health app and forcing the app to upload modified firmware... I am not definitely able to do that :-(
NFC upload? Maybe
I think that some effort definitely needs to be put on that watch... It has good hardware so why not have good software as well? Huawei adds one tiny feature every 2 months only to ensure new units will still be sold. I think when Huawei stops updating the watch we will all be on our own. I am definitely looking forward to seeing one with the skill required make a custom FW for it...
this would be great... you know, we can add .hwt faces via modded Huawei health app. So, there must be a way to cheat the updates of pro version. We just need effort of smart coder
Anything is possible!!!
https://www.talkandroid.com/366671-huawei-watch-gt-2-harmonyos-2-0/
Maybe Huawei will help us with GT2 PRO firmware... I am curious about the big update to HarmonyOS...
Wow that's still very nice news! At least we will have a working app store... for the first time!
However what if Huawei decides to ditch support shortly after that? Let's say after it manages to make a stable version?
The hardware of the gt 2 vs pro are the same? so should be possible to load pro firmware onto the gt 2?

This would be epic! but i don't have my hopes up. GT2's lack of RAM is not a good catalyst.

Actually they have the same SoC. I know nothing about RAM but it should be identical as well... We should have the ability to load our own firmware on the watch regardless...
GT2 a GT2 pro have the same hardware and the same amount of RAM

I guess that is not the issue.
The issue is that Huawei Watch3 Pro has 2Gb of RAM and runs Harmony OS, while GT2/GT2 Pro has 32Mb RAM and runs Lite OS....
I guess what everyone is questioning, including me, is that if Harmony OS can run on 32Mb, why would they launch the Watch3 with 2Gb?

WOW! What a piece of information right here! My guess is that if they were to upgrade the GT2/GT2 Pro to Harmony OS AT ALL (cause it might just be advertising to sell the remaining units), it would be a very very stripped down version and/or sluggish. My opinion.
Now the only thing that could rescue us is again custom development. A port of Harmony OS with an increased page file would be a great place to start from...
if can, honor magic 2 owner would be happy ..... our firmware not update after honor split with huawei.
sad for us.
Hi,
Is one of you using the galaxy watch 4 with the oneplus pro 9?
Does the modded Samsung Health Monitor work for you and can you use all features from the watch like ECG and blood pressure testing?

I second this. I have been swapping back and forth between my OnePlus 9 Pro, my Pixel 6 Pro, and my Galaxy Z Fold3.

Vouch for mod working as well. Just search xda for Samsung Galaxy watch 4 for the mod. Don't be lazy.

maybe you know if phone could wirelessly charge the watch?

It can't. I think I read somewhere, that Samsung uses it's own Wireless Power Share system, which is not QI charging compatible.
Just bought a watch 4 yesterday. Randomly the watch4 unpairs with phone (9 pro rooted). Then I have to reset my watch to pair with phone just for it to happen all over again. Suuuuper frustrating. Any Ideas?
NVM. I switched roms and all is Gucci now.

The mystery continues. My 1+8Pro must be cursed then hahaha
I will downgrade to OOS12 (and relock bootloader by the way) to see if one of the two fix that pairing issue
What OOS version are you running please ?
