So, Huawei Watch GT 2 does know about the new hidden features and how to enable them on your smartwatch. Let’s take a look:

Enhanced mode security unlock

The enhanced mode can determine whether the smart quick unlock is currently available through detection data such as the distance of the device and the wearing position.

Stopwatch

In the upgarded verison, a new timer button has been added to the smartwatch to the timer interface of the Stopwatch app on the watch. During the timing process, you can click while recording, so that multiple records can be acquired at the same time. For example, while calculating sports data for an entire class/team, it is very convenient to record multiple data.

One-click reset of the timer

Nowadays, we use the time for several tasks but this little gadget is really very useful and can help us in time management very effectively. After all, deadlines are the primary productive force. Everyone can use timers to develop the concept of time.

After this upgrade, the original exit button of the timer interface in the watch changed to the reset button. So, if you need time again, click to reset with one button without going back to the previous level.
