Renders and specs of Huawei Watch GT 2 leaked, may launch at IFA 2019

Huawei launched the Watch GT smartwatch almost a year ago at an event in London alongside the Mate 20 series. The watch got new variants early this year, and in June, Huawei announced it had shipped 2 million units. A new leak has revealed there will be a successor called the Huawei Watch GT 2 and it may launch very soon.
First reported by Winfuture.de, the Huawei Watch GT 2 is codenamed “Latona” and has the model number LTN-B19. There are a number of design changes such as a slimmer bezel, a larger display, and a thinner frame. It still keeps its masculine look and two hardware buttons on the right side of the frame.

The Huawei Watch GT 2 is also said to have a bigger battery capacity at 445mAh. The original Watch GT boasts a battery life of 2 weeks, so its successor should last longer.
Winfuture reports that the Watch GT 2 still runs Huawei's Lite OS but there is no info on new features. The watch keeps its heart rate sensor as well as a GPS module. New additions are a speaker and microphone, hinting at an on-board AI Assistant and the ability to make calls. There is no info on an LTE modem, so we can't confirm the latter.

The renders show the Huawei Watch GT 2 in two variants - a classic version with brown leather straps and a silver frame, and a sports version with black rubber straps and a black frame.
The Watch GT 2 is expected to be announced at IFA 2019 or alongside the Mate 30 series later this month. If history repeats itself, the successor to the Honor Watch Magic should share design and features with the Huawei Watch GT 2.
