The Huawei Watch GT does not only have great physical features, but it also has an impressive OLED display. We think that it's the ideal workout partner since it virtually tracks your activities.

The Huawei Watch GT boasts impressive battery life, but at what cost Here's our review of Huawei's latest smartwatch.

To sum up, the Huawei Watch GT is one good fitness tracker. When I used the Samsung Galaxy Watch , I said that it would be interesting to see Samsung make a toned-down variant of the watch for a lesser price. And this looks like just that.

Instead, it aims to be a complement, with a focus primarily on fitness tracking. Sure, it can receive notifications from Android or iOS devices, but that’s about all the phone functionality you’ll find – interacting with these would just obfuscate your fitness goals as the Huawei Watch GT would see it.Running its own proprietary OS makes sure the focus stays on fitness and battery life, but does this leave users wanting for more or ...

Good looks with a solid construction + 5ATM water resistance; Near-two-week battery life; Simple, effective OS makes tracking and reviewing info quick and easy; Straight-forward companion app offers plenty of sleep insight and exercise statistics;

Consistently stuttery animations navigating through OS; No music storage or playback control; Very limited third-party app support;

Been after a smart watch for a while but couldn't find the one I wanted I purchased this a week ago and very happy with the watch gives you notifications from your phone, heart rate monitor and tracks your sleep Over all worth the money and cheaper than most watches Straps also changeable

There are holes in the Huawei Watch GT. But it is also just about the best watch out there for those who want something that looks smart in the day, but has the exercise tracking skills to satisfy real run training. That this is also matched with just about the best battery life seen in a watch with a screen this bright and punchy seems almost like magic. Just make sure you’re ready for the limitations. You can’t choose from thousands of watch faces, download apps or even control music played on your phone. However, what it can do is handled well. And not having to charge every week, let alone every day, is bliss.

Superb battery life; Smart looks; Great run tracking;

It’s begging for music support; No extra apps; Baked-in watch faces only; Huawei app needs either more depth or fun;

There's an ongoing problem with wrist-worn gadget things: it's battery life. Most high-powered smartwatches last just a day or two, maybe three, on a charge. The Huawei Watch GT, announced alongside its new Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro phones, lasts up to two weeks on a charge... but it casts aside Google Wear OS in the process.

Two weeks on a charge

Huawei's $199.99 Watch GT looks and sounds like a smartwatch, but it's really a fitness tracker in disguise. Running Huawei's barebones LiteOS operating system, there's no support for third-party apps. Instead you get activity and sleep tracking, continuous heart rate monitoring, and GPS. It's well suited for outdoor exercise, thanks to its scratch-resistant case and sport modes like trail runs and climbs. It's a solid choice if you want the functionality of a fitness tracker in the style of a smartwatch, as long as you aren't expecting too much in the latter department. Design and Display The Huawei Watch GT is surprisingly rugged given its sleek design. Its stainless steel case and ceramic bezel are wrapped in a carbon coating, making it resistant to scratches even in extreme environments. With a 5 ATM waterproof rating, you can wear it in the shower and in the pool. It comes in two color combinations—black stainless steel with a black silicone wrist strap, pictured here, or sil...

Huawei's Watch GT is a decent fitness tracker disguised as a smartwatch. While its size isn't suitable for all wrists, its GPS, durability, and long battery life make it a good companion for outdoor workouts.

Sleek design; Excellent battery life; Solid fitness tracking

No third-party apps; Big for small wrists; Lacks NFC and Wi-Fi

The Watch GT has so much potential. With its fantastic OLED display and all the hardware you could need to track virtually any activity, it's an ideal modern fitness partner. However, low frame-rate and no always-on display are limiting factors as a result of the long battery life.

Long battery life; Great screen; Information is well organised; Great all-round performance;

Lacking in features; Screen doesn't have always-on mode; Low refresh rate makes animations stutter; Needs more apps and third-party support;

Huawei has spotted what it believes is a gap in the wearables market, and has created the Watch GT to fill it. What is it? It’s not a smartwatch that runs Google’s Wear OS, a hybrid smartwatch, or a fitness tracker. It fits somewhere in-between, and shows what Huawei has been working on while it takes a sabbatical from Wear OS watches. The Watch GT isn’t a hybrid smartwatch because it has a touchscreen. But it occupies the space between fitness tracker and full smartwatch in a similar way. If all this sounds a little confusing, we agree, and it aptly sums up the watch overall. Huawei understands how to make a good-looking smartwatch. The original Huawei Watch is a design triumph, and still stands tall among smartwatches released today. The Watch GT isn’t as beautiful, is considerably more masculine, but it’s still very watch-like. If you like sportier watches, then the Watch GT’s look will appeal, much like the Huawei Watch 2. We like it, and find its understated style refreshing. The ...
