Huawei's wearable lineup gets an upgrade with the launch of the Watch GT 5 series. This time, Huawei offers two smartwatches - the standard Watch GT 5 and the feature-rich Watch GT 5 Pro, both available in 42mm and 46mm sizes.
Staying true to the GT series' popular formula, the new watch continues to focus on aesthetics and long battery life, but now offers better health and fitness tracking thanks to the company's new TruSense system. Let's dive into the details here.
Design
Let’s talk looks first. The Watch GT 5 series has a familiar circular dial with a sharp-edged design. The vanilla model uses stainless steel for its body, while the Pro model is constructed with more premium materials like aerospace-grade titanium alloy and nanocrystal ceramic.
Design-wise, however, there’s not much of a difference from the predecessor. The real upgrade for the Watch GT 5 Series is its health and fitness tracking capabilities. The wearable brings Huawei’s all-new TruSense System with upgraded sensors and algorithms.
The system combines data from sensors for respiratory rate, SpO2 (blood oxygen levels), body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate and is claimed to offer faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive results.
Standard vs. Pro: Feature Breakdown
While both models share the core TruSense System, the Pro variant takes things a step further. It boasts an ECG analysis feature, allowing users to capture their ECG waveforms with a simple button press.
For fitness enthusiasts too, the Pro model truly shines. It offers dedicated features for activities like trail running and freediving.
Trail runners get access to segment-based navigation, off-course alerts, and detailed topographical maps right on their wrists. Freedivers, on the other hand, benefit from water resistance up to 40 meters, along with depth tracking and reminders.
Golfers aren’t left out either. The GT 5 Pro offers a 3D view of course maps for over 15,000 courses worldwide. Additionally, you also get a range of analytical tools that can help you improve your swing and track shot distances.
The standard Watch GT 5 focuses on core fitness tracking features, such as running form analysis, catering to a wider audience. However, both models offer over 100 sports modes, allowing you to track your progress no matter what activity you choose.
As for the battery life, the Huawei Watch GT 5 and GT 5 Pro 46mm offers 14 days of run time while the 41mm Watch GT 5 and GT 5 Pro have a claimed battery life of 7 days. All models are compatible with both Android and iOS, and they support Bluetooth calling.
Huawei Watch GT 5 Series Pricing and Availability
The Watch GT 5 starts at £229.99 and the Pro model starts at £329.99. Pre-orders for the wearable start today and run until 22 October, and those who pre-order will receive a pair of Huawei FreeBuds 5i headphones for free.
Huawei Watch GT 5 series owners also get a free 3-month membership to Huawei Health+. The platform offers a variety of fitness resources, including workout routines for all levels, guided meditations and personalised fitness plans.
