According to Camel Camel Camel, this is the lowest price this watch has been - must be a new model due soon.
I've been using the GT2 for a year and have been very happy with it, particularly with the week long battery life (the GT2 Pro has 2 week battery life). Was thinking about upgrading to get the skiing and golf functions, plus anything else I've been missing in the GT2.
Note that NFC is currently software limited and therefore not supported with these watches in Aus. Also, if similar to the GT2, you can't stream music from the watch.
I was considering this, because I love the design and battery life. But its lack of smarts is what held me back. Can’t answer messages, no voice dictation, no Google Assistant or Alexa. Huawei Watch 3 Pro is already out, and apparently it’s a much smarter watch, although it’s chunkier and heavier, more expensive, and lower battery life.
