Whenever a company launches a new smartphone, it invariably launches something else to go along with it. Apple started the "one more thing", and manufacturers like Samsung, LG and even Huawei have followed suit.
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.

Huawei has decided to change things up with its 3rd iteration in their premium smartwatch lineup this time calling it the Watch GT. It looks to be more ideal for the adventurer but also the person that wants to keep track of their body ranging from their heart rate to their sleep patterns.
The Huawei Watch GT has incredible battery life, providing the standard other smartwatches should aspire to. Yes, it comes with a few caveats, but if all you want from a smartwatch is an advanced fitness tracker with basic notifications and a battery that lasts for weeks instead of hours, the Watch...
Up to one-month battery life Excellent screen Classic styling UI is easy to use Accurate fitness tracking Sleep monitoring is great
Laggy and janky UI Limited watch face options Some notification problems Missing advanced features Can't add more apps
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
The Huawei Watch GT was originally launched in 2018, but the US didn't immediately get access to Huawei's fitness tracking smartwatch hybrid. That changed briefly before Samsung announced their Galaxy S10 lineup, and as of February 2019 , you can simply order one up off of Amazon without dealing...
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 Watch GT review: Battery life isn't everything
Category-leading battery life
No NFC; No music storage
Named after grand tourers, a performance and luxury car capable of high-speed and long-distance driving, the HUAWEI WATCH GT uses an innovative dual-engine and smart power-saving architecture that enables it to switch between performance and efficiency modes depending on an individual's activity to...
Excellent build quality; Comfortable to wear while awake and asleep; You can swim with it on; Battery can last up to 30 days (roughly 2 weeks battery life with heart rate monitoring on and 90 minutes of exercise per week), so yes - you can use it for accurate sleep tracking; Attractive watch design;...
There are only 14 available watch faces; Might be a bit large and thick for petite people; You'll have to manually enter your weight in the app unless you have a Huawei or Honor scale
The Huawei Watch Gt Active needs to face off with competition on different sides of the spectrum. On the one hand is the likes of Fitbit's Versa, the Apple Watch and Samsung's Galaxy Watch. These are all smartwatches first, with the added benefit of exercise tracking.
TruSleep; good exercise tracking; feels good on the wrist
No Google Wear OS; limted watch faces; smartwatch functionality limited
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.
