In the fast-expanding universe of smartwatches, iQOO has been making its mark by combining power, fashion, and innovation. Following the success of the iQOO Watch GT, the brand is now set to launch its next-generation wearable — the iQOO Watch GT 2. Launching on October 20, this new smartwatch is already making headlines for its humongous 2.07-inch panoramic display, 33-day battery life, and a brand-new Esports Mode 2.0 that’s meant for performance enthusiasts.
Here’s a closer examination of why the iQOO Watch GT 2 is one of the most highly-anticipated smartwatch releases of 2025.
A Larger, Improved Screen Experience
The first thing that catches the eye in the GT 2 is its improved screen. Leaks show that the watch boasts an incredible 2.07-inch ultra-bright panoramic screen, a significant improvement over the 1.85-inch AMOLED screen of the original iQOO Watch GT.
This larger panel promises improved visibility under sunlight, more on-screen space for notifications, and a more immersive experience for features like fitness tracking, navigation, and message previews. If you’ve ever struggled to swipe through small icons or text on a watch face, the GT 2 looks ready to fix that with its expanded interface.
Although details on the resolution haven’t been made public as yet, iQOO’s display tech usually favors punchy colors, sharp contrast, and silky-smooth responsiveness — so people can look forward to a top-notch AMOLED-like experience again.
Unmatched Battery Life — Up to 33 Days
Battery life is one of the largest issues for today’s smartwatches, but it appears that iQOO is intent on setting a new standard. Initial teasers suggest that the iQOO Watch GT 2 is good for up to 33 days on a single charge in Bluetooth mode — a big step up from the 21-day battery life of its predecessor.
Even with features like continuous health monitoring and Bluetooth connectivity, the GT 2’s efficiency appears finely tuned. While real-world performance will depend on usage (especially if eSIM or GPS features are active), the extended endurance suggests iQOO has made major optimizations to its operating system and internal battery management.
For people who hate having to charge their smartwatch every couple of days, this may be a huge selling point — perfect for travelers, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone looking for convenience with extended power life.
Performance Receives an Enhancement with Esports Mode 2.0
One of the most impressive teasers for the GT 2 is the release of Esports Mode 2.0 — something that sounds specifically designed for gamers and high-performance users.
Though minute details are kept secret, this mode probably increases responsiveness, maximizes Bluetooth connection for lower latency, and might even provide game-specific notifications or ready access to smartphone controls. Given iQOO’s gaming-centric DNA (as evident in their smartphones), Esports Mode 2.0 might easily incorporate smartwatch functionality into the gaming experience.
This detail also teases out more general system refinements — quicker UI animations, smoother transitions, and perhaps even bespoke watch faces for eSports fans.
What We Know About the Design
While the firm has not yet entirely unveiled the GT 2’s appearance, it is possible to anticipate a sporty, slim design akin to its predecessor, with aluminum or stainless-steel construction options.
The first iQOO Watch GT had a flat 45.8 × 39.6 × 11.2 mm body weighing around 33 grams, and provided interchangeable straps for individualization. The GT 2 will probably do the same but might enhance the bezels, increase the display-to-body ratio, and provide new colors — making it more premium on the wrist.
iQOO’s design philosophy tends to balance aesthetics with function: lightweight for comfort during workouts, yet sturdy enough for daily wear. Expect it to retain a 5 ATM water-resistance rating, making it safe for rain, swimming, or workouts.
Core Features from the iQOO Watch GT 2 Series
The iQOO Watch GT 2 line is renowned for its all-round health and connectivity feature set, and the GT 2 should continue — and perhaps even expand — the following features:
- Heart-rate tracking (24 × 7)
- SpOâ‚‚ (blood-oxygen) monitoring
- Sleep tracking and stress monitoring
- Breathing exercises and recovery guidance
- More than 100 sports modes for exercise from running and cycling to yoga and weight training
- Integrated GPS and NFC for navigation and payments
- Speaker + microphone setup to enable Bluetooth calls and eSIM voice connectivity
The last GT model used BlueOS, iQOO’s proprietary smartwatch OS designed for speedy performance and battery savings. GT 2 is likely to stick with a new version of BlueOS, with better animations, more intelligent AI functions, and closer integration with iQOO smartphones.
Connectivity and Smart Functions
Connectivity has never been the iQOO series’ weakness. The GT 2 is reportedly going to support:
- Bluetooth 5.3 LE — for quicker and more reliable pairing with phones or earbuds.
- GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/Beidou — for outdoor tracking accuracy.
- eSIM support — enabling the watch to both call and receive calls on its own, without needing a smartphone nearby.
These characteristics make it not only a companion device but also a stand-alone mini-phone for your wrist. With its anticipated long battery life, the GT 2 may become one of the most versatile connected wearables in its class.
Battery and Charging Experience
The GT had a 505 mAh battery, and with GT 2’s enhanced efficiency, capacity may slightly rise or remain the same but with more efficient energy management. Fast magnetic charging would likely be supported once more, allowing users to have a full charge in a couple of hours.
If the 33-day allegation stands, then this would place the iQOO Watch GT 2 among the longest-running smartwatches in its class — even competing with rugged watches like Amazfit or Huawei models.
Launch and Availability
The release of the iQOO Watch GT 2 has already been officially scheduled for October 20, 2025, in China, accompanied by the iQOO Pad 5e and iQOO TWS 5 earbuds.
While international or Indian availability is yet to be confirmed, iQOO has consistently built its ecosystem beyond China, and it is thus safe to anticipate that GT 2 might soon appear in international markets following its home release.
Pricing information has not been disclosed, but judging from the original GT’s price point, the GT 2 will likely fall in the mid-range smartwatch category, offsetting luxury functionality with affordability — possibly between ₹10,000 and ₹15,000 (approx.).
Why the iQOO Watch GT 2 Might Be a Game Changer
The smartwatch segment is saturated, but iQOO has a transparent plan — blending flagship-tier performance with sports-inspired design and battery dominance.
If all the rumors panned out, the GT 2 will resonate with:
- Gamers seeking smartwatch-grade integration with their mobile gaming ecosystem.
- Fitness enthusiasts who require top-notch tracking and battery life.
- Tech fans in search of a daring screen, intelligent connectivity, and innovative design.
Its combination of 33-day standby, 2.07-inch screen, and Esports Mode 2.0 implies iQOO is not just trying to keep up with rivals such as Realme Watch 3 Pro or Amazfit Active, but outlast and out-use them.
Final Thoughts
The iQOO Watch GT 2 is a compelling step-up for the brand’s wearable family. With its blend of greater screen size, more robust battery life, gaming-oriented performance mode, and contemporary smartwatch capabilities, it can redefine the expectation of a mid-range wearable from the user.
As we head into its official iQOO Watch GT 2 launch, everyone is looking at iQOO to determine if it can strike the ideal balance between performance, aesthetics, and innovation. If the teasers are anything to go by, the GT 2 could well emerge as one of the best-value smartwatches of 2025 — and an authentic “power companion” for tech aficionados and sports enthusiasts too.
