Getting started
Use the dedicated charging cable, charging cradle, rated output voltage of 5 V, and rated output current of 1 A or higher to charge your watch. Use a standard Huawei charger with a rated output of 2A to charge the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 Pro. Charging the watch using a non-Huawei charger or a power bank may result in it taking a longer time to charge, the device being unable to charge fully, overheating, or other similar issues. Therefore, you are advised to purchase an official Huawei charger from an official Huawei sales outlet.
Use a Huawei power adapter or other power adapters that comply with local and international security standards. Adapters that do not conform to the security standard may cause security issues.
Keep the surface of the charging cradle clean. Make sure the watch is placed properly on the charging cradle and displaying the charging status. Avoid putting metal objects on the medal contacts of the charger too long, or repeatedly sticking and removing metal objects to the contacts, as this can result in short circuiting and other risks. (If you are using a metal strap, make sure that the metal contacts on the watch are in proper contact with that of the charger during charging. Try to keep the metal links of the strap from touching the metal contacts of the charger.)
Only the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 Pro can be charged reversely using a phone. Currently, the watch can be charged using the following phone models: HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro,
HUAWEI Mate 30, HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro, HUAWEI P30 Pro, HONOR V30, HUAWEI P40
Pro, and HUAWEI P40 Pro+.
Do not charge or use your watch in a hazardous environment, make sure there is nothing flammable or explosive nearby. When using the charging cradle, make sure there is no residual liquid or other foreign objects on the USB port of the charging cradle. Keep the charging cradle away from liquids and any flammable materials. Do not touch the charging contacts while the device is charging, or take any other unnecessary safety risks.
There are magnets in the charging cradle, due to their nature they will also attract other medal objects, so it is important to check for any before using the charger. The charging cradle contains magnetic materials. It is important not to let it overheat by placing it out in the sun or somewhere too warm.
It is recommended that you lift the charging cradle to attach it to your watch. Ensure that the side of your watch with buttons is aligned with the charging port of the cradle.
After the cradle and watch are connected properly, check to see if the charging icon is displayed. If you cannot see the charging icon, you may need to slightly adjust the position of the cradle until contact is established and the charging icon appears.
When carrying and storing the charging cradle, make sure the charger stays dry, especially the USB port on the base, clean it to prevent foreign objects from entering

Introduction to the three rings in Activity records on the watch
The three rings in Activity records on the watch display three types of data: steps, moderate to high intensity activity, and active hours.
1 ） Steps: This ring indicates the proportion of your steps to the target step count. The default goal is 10,000 steps. You can change the goal settings in Huawei Health depending on your preferences.
2 ） Duration of moderate to high intensity activity (unit: minutes): The default goal is 30 minutes. Your wearable device will calculate the total duration of your moderate to high intensity activity based on your pace and heart rate intensity. We recommend that you take five 30-minute sessions of exercise a week at a moderate intensity to keep healthy.
3 ） Active hours: This ring represents how many hours you have been stood up for during the day. If you have walked for more than 1 minute in an hour, such as for 1 minute between
10:00 and 11:00, this hour will be counted as an active hour. Sitting for too long is harmful for your health. We recommend you stand up once an hour and get at least 12 active hours every day.
Tracking sleep
Your watch collects sleep data and identifies your sleep status when you wear it while sleeping. It can automatically detect when you fall asleep and wake up and whether you are in a light or deep sleep. You can sync and view your sleep data in detail in the Huawei Health app.
Your watch measures your sleep data from 20:00 to 20:00 on the following day (24 hours in total). For example, if you sleep for 11 hours from 19:00 to 06:00, your watch will count the length of time you slept before 20:00 during the first day as well as the rest of the time that you were asleep during the second day.
From the home screen press the Up button, swipe until you find Sleep, then touch it and swipe up on the screen to view your nighttime sleep duration and nap duration. Your daytime sleep duration is displayed under Naps.
You are able to view your history sleep data in the Huawei Health app. Open the Huawei
Health app and touch Sleep to view your daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly sleep statistics.
12
Health management
Naps that you take during the day are counted under Naps. If you take a midday nap of less than 30 minutes or you moved around too much during a midday nap, your watch may have determined incorrectly that you were awake.
You can enable HUAWEI TruSleep TM in the Huawei Health app.
After you enable HUAWEI TruSleep TM , your watch will collect your sleep data, detect when you fall asleep, wake up, and whether you are in a light, deep, or REM sleep, and identify the times when you wake up and your breathing quality to provide you with a sleep quality analysis and suggestions to help you understand and improve your sleep quality.
When your watch detects that you are sleeping, it will automatically disable Always-on screen, message reminders, incoming call notifications, Raise wrist to wake screen, and other features in order to not disturb your sleep.

Monitoring your heart rate
The watch features an optical heart rate sensor, which can monitor and record your heart rate all day. To use this feature, you need to enable Continuous heart rate in the Huawei
Health app.
When the watch detects that the user has fallen sleep, it will switch to use the non-visible light to measure your heart rate, letting you have a good nights sleep.
Heart rate measurement
1 Keep your arm still and wear your watch correctly.
2 From the home screen press the Up button, swipe until you find Heart rate. Touch Heart
rate. The watch will then measure your current heart rate.
3 To pause the heart rate measurement, swipe right on your watch screen.
It usually takes approximately 6 to 10 seconds to display the first measurement value (1 to 2 seconds if Continuous heart rate monitoring is enabled in the Huawei Health app and MONITORING MODE is set to Real-time), and the data updates every 5 seconds afterward. A complete measurement takes approximately 45 seconds to complete.
To guarantee a more accurate heart rate measurement, wear the watch correctly and ensure the strap is fastened. Make sure that your watch is secure on your wrist. Ensure that the watch body is in direct contact with your skin without any obstructions.
Setting the heart rate zone calculation method
The heart rate interval can be calculated based on the maximum heart rate percentage or
HRR percentage. To set the heart rate interval calculation method, open the Huawei Health app, go to Me > Settings > Heart rate limit and zones and set Calculation method to either Maximum heart rate percentage or HRR percentage.
•
•
•
If you select Maximum heart rate percentage as the calculation method, the heart rate zone for different types of workout activities (Extreme, Anaerobic, Aerobic, Fatburning, and Warm-up) is calculated based on your maximum heart rate ("220 – your age" by default). Heart rate = Maximum heart rate x Maximum heart rate percentage.
If you select HRR percentage as the calculation method, the heart rate interval for different types of workout activities (Advanced anaerobic, Basic anaerobic, Lactic acid,
Advanced aerobic, and Basic aerobic) is calculated based on your heart rate reserve
(HRmax - HRrest). Heart rate = Heart rate reserve x Heart rate reserve percentage +
Resting heart rate.
The heart rate zone calculation methods while you are running are not affected by the settings in the Huawei Health app. For most running courses, HRR percentage is selected by default.
Your watch will display different colors when your heart rate reaches corresponding zones during a workout.
