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.
As far as looks go, the Huawei Watch GT incorporates touches of modern style into a timeless watch design. As far as operation goes, it's as smart and as innovative as any watch on the market. Huawei call it their finest waterproof watch to date, and here's why!
The Huawei Watch GT catches the eye with a classic round dial with ceramic bezel, stainless steel shell and DLC coating. While slim and sleek, the design is robust and boasts 50 metre waterproof construction to emphasise how durable it is.
The Huawei Watch GT outstrips many of its rivals in the easy-to-read stakes thanks to a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen with 454 x 454 pixels resolution at 326ppi pixel density. All those numbers add up to a crystal-clear display.
The GT gives you real time heart rate monitoring through a self-learning algorithm and some of the most innovative sensors on the market.
Help might be at hand as HUAWEI TruSleep 2.0 identifies common sleep related issues. Better still, it gives you more than 200 potential solutions.
The specs on the Watch GT include GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO, Bluetooth, accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer sensors, optical heart rate sensor, ambient light sensor, barometer sensor, loudspeaker, and, as you'd expect in this day and age, multiple sports modes. You can also see notifications including messages, phone calls, alarms, plus you can set reminders.
The Huawei Watch GT integrates the first double chipset architecture and this gives you two weeks of life from the super-efficient 420mAh battery. The device also features 128MB internal storage and 16MB RAM for excellent, speedy performance.

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
Pre-ordered this too replace my bip watch which has the best battery life on the market. Been using the GT for a week now and battery is still on 50%. Very happy with it. It has a very bright clear screen and constant heart tracking.
Even when I just first started using the Watch GT, it was already clear to me what conclusion I would reach: the watch is pleasant to wear and doesn't have many functions, but it has an extremely strong battery that it almost doesn't matter to me how little the watch can do.
Extremely long battery life; Comfortable to wear; Easy to use
Not many features on Lite OS; Jerky performance; Notifications are often useless
Overall, the Huawei Watch GT has nearly everything that most smartwatch users need. It has a more than 2 weeks battery life, it is 5ATM water and dust resistant, it tells the time just fine and it even points the way with a compass and built-in GPS.
Huawei is on to something with LiteOS. While I lament its limited nature in this review, I do so only because the hardware on which it runs isn't a good match for the operating system.
Striking AMOLED display; Lots of sensors including a barometer; GPS; GLONASS; and GALILEO; Good battery life; Tracks advanced metrics like Training Effect and recovery time; Solid sleep tracking; Accurate heart-rate monitor and GPS
Generic design; Limited number of watch faces and apps; No NFC; no onboard storage for music; No onboard Wi-Fi connectivity; No access to Google Play Store; Huawei Health app is disorganized and has a confusing layout; Too expensive for what it is
In previous years the Huawei Watch has been home to several Android Wear smartwatch releases. With the Watch GT, however, the Chinese giant has produced a watch that runs its own operating system – similar in approach to the Samsung Gear and Apple Watch range.
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
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.

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;
Stylish and long-lasting, the Watch GT nearly has it all, but absent music features leave us baffled.
Excellent battery life; Stylish; wearable design; Strong fitness tracking features; Works with Android and iOS
Not available in the U.S; Software needs refinement; No music streaming or Bluetooth headphone connection
