Huawei Watch GT review

The Huawei Watch GT shows what Huawei can do when it ditches Google's Wear OS and comes up with its own smartwatch operating system. The result is a stylish watch with amazing battery life, and some strong fitness tracking features, but with some...

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

Huawei so nearly gets the Watch GT exactly right. The battery life is right in the sweet spot, the design is solid, and the fitness tracking will appeal to most casual gym-goers. But we’re disappointed there’s no music features at all, and the software...

Huawei Watch GT

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 Huawei Watch GT is a smartwatch in name only. It tracks fitness metrics like heart rate, activity, and sleep, and also provides detailed insight on the physical state of your body, making it a solid choice if you're looking for the features of a...

Huawei Watch GT Review

The Huawei Watch GT is a refreshing device; it looks like a classic smart watch but it's by no means trying to replace your phone. Instead, it aims to be a complement, with a focus primarily on fitness tracking...

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
