HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 Brings Elite Marathon Intelligence to Everyday Runners in the Philippines

Manila, Philippines — Huawei is redefining how runners train, track progress, and perform with the launch of the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2, the lightest and most accurate titanium smartwatch in its class. Co-developed with marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge—the first and only human to complete a marathon in under two hours—the device brings elite-level running intelligence within reach of everyday athletes. 

Inspired by Kipchoge’s belief that “No Human Is Limited,” the smartwatch reflects a shared mission between the athlete and Huawei: to make advanced training tools accessible to runners of all levels. Rather than focusing solely on elite performance, the WATCH GT Runner 2 empowers recreational and competitive runners alike with precision insights once reserved for professionals.

Working alongside Kipchoge’s team at DSM-Firmenich, Huawei translated real-world elite training experience into smarter wearable performance tracking. The watch captures workout data at one-second intervals, delivering more responsive feedback for pacing and performance adjustments. It also introduces refined running power metrics, helping runners better understand effort efficiency beyond traditional heart-rate tracking.

To support accurate performance monitoring, the smartwatch features a 3D floating antenna system combined with dual-band satellite positioning across major global systems. Even in challenging environments where signals drop, its industry-first AI-assisted XDR positioning system maintains consistent tracking of pace and distance. This ensures runners receive reliable metrics throughout their sessions—whether training in dense city streets or open outdoor routes. 

The WATCH GT Runner 2 also acts as a smart pacing companion through its Intelligent Marathon Mode, integrating environmental conditions, pacing targets, and physiological data into actionable guidance during races. Instead of simply recording workouts, it actively supports better performance decisions in real time.

Beyond performance tracking, the smartwatch emphasizes recovery and long-term progress. By analyzing heart rate variability, sleep quality, and training load, it recommends adjustments to intensity and rest—helping runners avoid overtraining and sustain improvement safely. This approach reflects Kipchoge’s philosophy that consistency and discipline are key to success.

Priced at PHP 19,999, early buyers from April 24 to May 31 can enjoy exclusive bundle offers, including a trade-in token, fluoroelastomer strap, audio wearable bonus, Health+ membership access, and extended protection coverage. Online shoppers can also claim special vouchers while supplies last. 

With the WATCH GT Runner 2, Huawei brings world-class coaching insights closer than ever—turning every run into a smarter step forward.

Experience Smartwatch-Level Features at a Band Price Point with the HUAWEI Band 11 Series—Coming March 3

Manila, Philippines — HUAWEI, the no. 1 smart wearable brand, introduces powerful smartwatch-level features at a band price point with the HUAWEI Band 11 and HUAWEI Band 11 Pro. Designed to feel almost invisible on the wrist, they deliver a new kind of smart wearable: one that blends ultra-light comfort with smartwatch-level capability, without demanding attention or effort from the user.

Built for modern routines that move from desk to workout to rest, the HUAWEI Band 11 Series sets a new standard for all-day wear. Its refined form proves that powerful technology doesn’t need to feel bulky.

Invisible Comfort with All-Day Wearability

Experience true all-day wearability with the HUAWEI Band 11 Series, the thinnest band in the market. It has an 8.99 mm profile—about as thin as four one-peso coins—and a featherlight weight that is as light as 16 grams and a maximum of 18 grams. The band is designed to sit so comfortably on the wrist that it feels almost invisible, adapting effortlessly to every moment of your day, 24/7.

Despite its slim form, the HUAWEI Band 11 Series features a striking 1.62-inch AMOLED display that’s 27% larger than its predecessor. Enhanced widgets and a refined UI layout make information clearer and easier to navigate at a glance. This means post-workout stats, sleep charts, and heart rate trends are more readable, notifications are less cramped, and you don’t need to scroll endlessly to get the insights you need. With brightness reaching up to 2,000 nits, your stats remain easy to read, even under harsh outdoor sunlight.

Paired with soft, skin-friendly, and sweat-resistant straps and quick-release strap options, the HUAWEI Band 11 Series is designed for continuous comfort and a barely-there feel.

Phone-Free Movement with Smartwatch-Level Performance

Built for users who move with intention, the HUAWEI Band 11 Series proves that a thin and light wearable can deliver pro-level performance. With support for over 100 sports modes and precise and accurate GPS, users can leave their phones behind while still tracking accurate routes, pace, and distance during runs, cycling sessions, and outdoor workouts. The AI Running Plan adds structure through performance prediction and training index insights, guiding users on how hard to push and when to recover. Meanwhile, the auto-detect function automatically recognizes your movement patterns and records your data as you exercise.

The HUAWEI Band 11 Pro comes with exclusive features that further elevate the band experience. Equipped with an independent GPS (GNSS), it uses a built-in antenna that accurately tracks the users’ outdoor routes. Runners can take precision to the next level with Track Run Mode, which allows lane selection for stadium-level accuracy and automatic correction of GPS drift. Wrist-based Running Posture Analysis provides insight into biomechanics, such as ground contact time and vertical oscillation, to help you refine form and reduce injury risk. Auto-detect and auto-pause functions further refine your data by ensuring rest time doesn’t skew performance results.

Beyond running, the all-in-one fitness companion supports most sports—from open-water swimming to recovery-focused sessions. Switch between numerous sports or track a full training week. The HUAWEI Band 11 Series delivers reliable, data-driven insights without adding bulk, friction, or dependence on your phone.

Wellness That Works Quietly in the Background

The HUAWEI Band 11 Series also delivers a deeper, more meaningful approach to sleep. Powered by upgraded sleep tracking, the band monitors overnight rest with wrist-based sleep breathing awareness, intuitive sleep Gantt charts, and nap summaries that assess whether daytime naps are helping or hindering recovery.

Tracking sleep patterns continuously and quietly through the night, it helps users understand how rest, stress, and recovery connect without requiring extra effort or constant check-ins.

Manila, Philippines — HUAWEI, the No. 1 global smart wearable brand according to the 2025 IDC Reports, and HONMA Golf, Japan’s prestigious golf house renowned for its unrivaled craftsmanship, officially launched the HONMA x HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro Premium Gift Box. Bringing together advanced smart technology and decades of Japanese golf expertise, this limited-edition watch delivers professional golf management on your wrist.

Instead of guessing your approach, you can manage risk better, commit to your shot, and focus fully on execution.

When it’s time to read the green, Green Slope Direction gives you clearer insight into how your putt will break, allowing you to trust your line and pace when it matters most. With Play-Like Distance that factors in elevation changes and wind conditions, the yardage you see reflects real playing conditions, so you’re choosing clubs based on real-time data.

Throughout your round, AI Caddie works quietly in the background, analyzing your swing history, performance trends, and course layout to offer smarter recommendations tailored to how you play. Meanwhile, Shot Distance Tracking and digital scorecards automatically capture every swing and score, helping you understand your strengths, identify areas for improvement, and track progress round after round.

After the game, your performance lives beyond the course. Through Ball Trajectory Sharing in the HUAWEI Health app, you can relive your best shots, review key moments, and share highlights with your golf group. This helps you turn every round into a data-driven experience that fuels improvement.

At the same time, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro tracks stress and emotional well-being, measuring your emotional state every 10 minutes. All your data is integrated into comprehensive HUAWEI Health app summaries to help you make smarter decisions about training, recovery, and daily routines.
