Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 Leads Madrid Launch

Huawei returned to the global spotlight in Madrid with a clear message: performance matters. At the “Now is Your Run” launch event, Huawei introduced a new wave of devices led by the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2, signaling its comeback to the professional running watch category after five years. The event also featured the Mate 80 Pro, MatePad Mini, FreeBuds Pro 5, WATCH Ultimate 2, and Band 11 Series.

HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2: Precision Redefined

The HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 is built around a new 3D floating antenna architecture, designed to deliver high-precision positioning even in complex urban or signal-challenged environments. For runners who train between skyscrapers or through tunnels, this means trajectory tracking continues even when GPS signals temporarily drop.

The introduction of an intelligent marathon mode transforms the watch into a race management tool. From pacing insights to distance monitoring, the device acts as a personal running coach directly on your wrist. It bridges the gap between elite athletes and everyday runners who want pro-level data without complexity.

Huawei also announced two-time Olympic marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge as the global ambassador for the GT Runner series, reinforcing its focus on professional performance and real-world endurance experience.

WATCH Ultimate 2 and Band 11: Smart Fitness Expansion

The HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 expands Huawei’s high-end wearable lineup with enhanced outdoor and diving-grade durability. The new Green edition maintains its premium construction while adding optimized features for golf driving ranges and on-course play, pushing it beyond traditional smartwatch boundaries.

Meanwhile, the HUAWEI Band 11 Series focuses on everyday practicality. With a brighter and larger display, it improves readability under direct sunlight while integrating health monitoring, activity tracking, and essential smart features into a compact design.

Mate 80 Pro: Flagship Innovation Returns

Beyond wearables, Huawei showcased the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro, marking a strong comeback for the Mate series globally. The upgraded True-to-Color Camera ensures consistent color accuracy across different lighting conditions, addressing one of the most challenging aspects of smartphone photography.

The device also features 2nd Gen Kunlun Glass for enhanced durability and advanced AI capabilities that elevate the overall user experience. Combined with the new Dual Space Ring design, it blends aesthetic refinement with flagship-grade performance.

MatePad Mini and FreeBuds Pro 5: Compact Intelligence

Huawei introduced its first compact tablet, the HUAWEI MatePad Mini, featuring an 8.8-inch lightweight body that fits easily into daily carry. Designed for business users, readers, and students, it delivers portability without compromising productivity.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 5 push audio innovation with dual-engine AI noise cancellation and a dual-drive acoustic system. The result is deeper noise reduction while preserving vocal clarity and instrumental detail, enhancing both calls and music playback.

With the “Now is Your Run” event, Huawei reinforces its commitment to fitness-driven innovation and smarter lifestyle integration. The newly launched products will roll out globally in stages, with pricing and availability varying by region. For full ecosystem details and regional updates, refer directly to Huawei.
