Vivo Watch GT 2 Launch: AMOLED, eSIM & Long Battery
On October 13, 2025, Vivo launched its new smartwatch, the Vivo Watch GT 2, in China, marking a significant step in the smartwatch market. The new smartwatch is available in two variants—Bluetooth and eSIM—offering users options in terms of connectivity and battery backup. With its large and bright 2.07-inch AMOLED display, long battery life, and smart health monitoring features, the Vivo Watch GT 2 positions itself as an excellent choice for both fitness enthusiasts and everyday users.
Display and Design of Vivo Watch GT 2
The standout feature of this smartwatch is its 2.07-inch AMOLED display, offering a resolution of 432×514 pixels and a 60Hz refresh rate. The display’s peak brightness of 2400 nits ensures clear visibility even under direct sunlight, making it highly suitable for outdoor activities. The watch boasts a stylish and sleek design with ultra-thin bezels, enhancing the visual experience. It features 2.5D curved glass and an aluminum alloy frame, providing a premium and durable finish.
In terms of dimensions, the smartwatch measures approximately 47.54×40.19×10.97mm, with the Bluetooth variant weighing around 35.8 grams and the eSIM variant 34.8 grams. Its compact size and lightweight build make it comfortable to wear. Additionally, Vivo offers customizable straps, allowing users to switch according to their preferred style and color.
Battery and Operating System
The Vivo Watch GT 2 excels in battery performance compared to many smartwatches in the market. The Bluetooth variant houses a 695mAh battery, claiming up to 33 days of usage under normal conditions. The eSIM variant comes with a 595mAh battery, providing up to 28 days of backup. This extended battery life is a significant advantage for users who prefer minimal charging interruptions.
The smartwatch runs on BlueOS 3.0, Vivo’s latest and advanced operating system. The OS ensures a smooth user interface and offers AI-powered fitness and health coaching along with smart health monitoring features, enhancing the overall wellness and fitness management experience.
Health and Fitness Features
The Vivo Watch GT 2 is equipped with advanced sensors and technologies for health and fitness tracking. It includes an optical heart rate sensor and a blood oxygen (SpO2) monitor to continuously track the user’s health. Additionally, it monitors sleep, stress, breathing rate, and menstrual cycles. Over 100 sports modes are available, including running guidance, tennis mode, and AI coaching, assisting users in improving their sports performance.
Advanced sensors such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, geomagnetic sensor, and hall sensor enhance activity tracking accuracy. The watch can also detect noise levels and assess mental stress, providing a comprehensive wellness overview.
Connectivity and Additional Features
The Vivo Watch GT 2 offers extensive connectivity options, including Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, GPS+GLONASS+GALILEO+Beidou, and LTE support through the eSIM variant, allowing calls and data usage without a phone. It features an inbuilt microphone and speaker for easy direct calling from the watch.
For water resistance, the watch has a 2ATM rating, withstanding pressures up to 20 meters, suitable for everyday splashes and rain. Users can also customize watch faces and easily swap straps with the one-click removal system, adapting the watch to their mood or outfit.
Price and Global Availability
In China, the Vivo Watch GT 2 is priced at 499 CNY (approx. ₹6,200) for the Bluetooth variant and 699 CNY (approx. ₹8,700) for the eSIM variant. Currently, it is available exclusively through the Vivo e-store in China. Vivo has not yet announced the global launch date or official pricing for markets including India, the USA, Europe, Japan, and South Korea. However, it is expected that local taxes and customs duties may place the price between ₹6,200 and ₹8,700 in India. Global launch preparations are underway, and the watch may reach other markets, including India, in the coming months.
Why Vivo Watch GT 2 Stands Out
The Vivo Watch GT 2 stands out with its high-brightness display, long battery life, and comprehensive health and sports tracking features, making it especially appealing to fitness enthusiasts. eSIM support adds versatility in connectivity, allowing users to make calls and access data independently of their smartphones.
With its combination of fitness tracking and everyday usability, the Vivo Watch GT 2 is set to be an attractive option in the smartwatch market, particularly for those seeking long battery life and a comfortable wearing experience. Its performance in the global market in the upcoming months will be closely watched.
