HUAWEI Watch GT Runner 2: missing two vital features for triathletes (Feature Request)
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased the new HUAWEI Watch GT Runner 2. After testing it, I have to say that the hardware, design, lightweight feel, and dual-band GPS accuracy are absolutely outstanding. Huawei has done an incredible job with the hardware.
However, coming from dedicated triathlon watches, I am finding the software a bit too restrictive for multi-sport training. I would love to see Huawei address two crucial limitations in future HarmonyOS updates:
- Customizable Multisport Profiles: The built-in Triathlon mode is completely fixed. You cannot change the order of the disciplines or create custom combinations. It is impossible to set up a Duathlon (Run-Bike-Run) or an Aquathlon (Swim-Run), which are standard events for multi-sport athletes.
- Manual Laps/Splits in Pool Swimming: During swim workouts, the physical buttons do not allow you to mark manual laps or splits. For structured pool training, being able to hit a button to log interval times and separate work from rest periods is a fundamental necessity.
The GT Runner series is meant to bridge the gap between smartwatches and high-performance sports watches. Adding these two simple software tweaks would completely open up the device to the entire global triathlon community.
I am sending this feedback to Huawei support, but I wanted to share it here as well. If there are any other swimmers, duathletes, or triathletes here who feel the same way, please upvote this so we can get the development team's attention!
