iQOO Watch GT 2 Packs 33-Day Battery and 2,400-Nit AMOLED Brilliance Ahead of Launch
iQOO teases its Watch GT 2 with a 33-day battery, 2,400-nit AMOLED display, and design inspired by Apple Watch Series 11.
iQOO is stepping into smartwatch season with bold confidence. The upcoming iQOO Watch GT 2 promises the kind of specs that could make even the Apple Watch glance twice — a 2,400-nit AMOLED screen, a 33-day battery life, and a design that feels premium but distinctly performance-driven.
The brand’s official teasers on Weibo gave us our first real glimpse of the GT 2, confirming that it borrows much of its DNA from the recently announced Vivo Watch GT 2. But this isn’t just a rebrand — iQOO’s take brings its own personality, especially through sportier watch faces and a stronger focus on customization. One of its signature dials can display up to eight complications, balancing function and flair for users who love data-heavy designs.
At its core, the Watch GT 2 runs on a 2.07-inch rectangular AMOLED panel that can hit a peak brightness of 2,400 nits — bright enough to stay perfectly visible under harsh daylight. The display looks crisp, fluid, and clearly designed for outdoor lifestyles, from runners to motorbike commuters across Asia’s cities.
Battery life is where the iQOO GT 2 flexes hardest. The brand claims up to 33 days of runtime on a single charge — likely referring to its power-saving mode — while normal usage (with the always-on display enabled) should last around two weeks. That’s still impressive in a category where most wearables struggle to push past a week.

While iQOO hasn’t revealed every spec, the similarities to the Vivo Watch GT 2 give us strong hints. Expect a full suite of health and fitness tracking tools, including heart rate and SpO₂ sensors, sleep and cycle tracking, and more than 100 workout modes with an AI running coach. NFC support for contactless payments also seems to be onboard, though the availability of 4G LTE and eSIM support remains unconfirmed.
Aesthetically, iQOO’s keeping things sharp and minimal. The silver and black variants come in both glossy and matte finishes, with options for sports bands or braided straps, making it easy to switch between gym mode and streetwear mode. The Apple Watch-inspired silhouette feels deliberate — part homage, part competition — yet still carries that signature iQOO edge with bold watch faces and a gaming-like visual energy.
With iQOO’s parent brand Vivo already testing the waters with its GT 2, this model’s success will depend on pricing, ecosystem integration, and regional availability. Given iQOO’s growing popularity in Southeast Asia and India for delivering high-performance tech at fair prices, the Watch GT 2 could find a sweet spot among Android users who want premium smartwatch looks without the premium price tag.
In a market saturated with wearables chasing the same formula, iQOO’s approach is refreshingly confident: battery endurance, brightness, and bold design — three traits that hit right where young, tech-forward users in Asia care most.
