HUAWEI is back with a fresh addition to its GT series, and today we’re taking a closer look at the HUAWEI Watch GT 5.
Known for combining style and function, HUAWEI’s latest wearable promises a premium design, advanced fitness tracking, and long-lasting battery life. Let’s see what makes this smartwatch stand out.
Design and Build
The HUAWEI Watch GT 5 boasts a sophisticated design with a lightweight build, making it a comfortable choice for all-day wear. It features an octagonal-like dial casing, complete with a stainless steel bezel, giving it a modern and stylish look.
The watch also includes a rotating crown on the top right and a functional button on the bottom right, designed for easy navigation. Weighing just 48g (without the strap), it feels light on the wrist despite its slightly larger face.
As for the strap, HUAWEI has opted for a combination of rubber and leather materials. The rubber layer touches your skin, providing comfort and durability, while the outer leather surface adds a touch of elegance.
This dual-material strap ensures both comfort and style, suitable for both workouts and casual outings.
Display
The Watch GT 5 is equipped with a 1.43-inch AMOLED display, offering a resolution of 466×466 and a pixel density of 326 PPI. This combination delivers crisp and vibrant visuals, perfect for viewing outdoors, even under bright sunlight.
Whether you’re glancing at notifications or navigating through apps, the display’s brightness and color accuracy enhance the overall experience.
Key Features
HUAWEI’s latest addition comes packed with smart features to support your fitness journey. One standout feature is the TruSense system, which provides faster and more accurate health and fitness tracking.
It can monitor a variety of metrics, including heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep quality, and stress levels. Plus, with support for over 100 workout modes, the GT 5 is a versatile tool for tracking progress across different activities.
Another notable feature is its built-in keyboard, allowing you to send quick replies directly from the watch. You can also take screenshots by pressing the side buttons, which will automatically save to your phone’s gallery for easy access.
Performance
Navigating the Watch GT 5 is straightforward. Holding the home screen allows users to quickly swap between different watch faces, with 13 pre-installed options available right out of the box. If that’s not enough, additional faces can be downloaded via the Health app.
The app drawer, accessed by pressing the crown, is set to a default grid view, but can be switched to a list format for easier navigation.
Battery Life
One of the standout aspects of the HUAWEI Watch GT 5 is its impressive battery life. With a 524mAh battery, HUAWEI claims it can last up to 15 days on a single charge.
Based on our hands-on experience, we managed to get 14 days before needing to recharge, making it one of the most enduring smartwatches in its class.
Conclusion
The HUAWEI Watch GT 5 combines fashion-forward design with reliable performance. It’s an excellent all-around smartwatch for anyone looking for a stylish yet functional device. From fitness tracking to easy navigation and long battery life, it checks all the boxes for a premium wearable.
While the official price hasn’t been announced yet, pre-orders start on September 26. With the introduction of the TruSense system, this latest HUAWEI Watch GT model is a more accurate and dependable companion than ever before.
