The research, which was commissioned by Huawei to launch its new smart watch, HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Pro, found a third of adults have gone outside less during the pandemic. Top reasons for this include unappealing weather (31 per cent) and being anxious around going outside during lockdown (45 per cent).
However, more than a quarter of all adults admitted they would like to explore their local area more and 43 per cent feel they are yet to see all it has to offer. Yet one in 10 admitted they don’t know where to go locally, while a quarter of adults are bored of going on the same walks and routes.
Gethin Jones, who has been using the HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Pro to enjoy micro-adventures in his area, said: “A micro adventure is one that’s short, easy, local and cheap – yet you still get the same
good feeling out of it.
“There are some incredible spaces in areas across the UK to have a micro adventure of your own – even if it’s simply walking to a spot for the first time you’d usually drive past on a busy commute. The HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Pro tracks over a 100 hundred workouts, giving you lots of different ways to get active and stay motivated, helping you to find your own local adventure.”
The HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Pro is designed to inspire an active, adventurous lifestyle with 100 workout modes, six outdoor modes and two weeks battery life. Find out more at
