The Huawei Watch GT 5 is the latest mainstream iteration in Huawei 's lineup of smartwatches, replacing the GT 4 with subtle yet welcome improvements. It counts on a flashy, stylish design and a heavy emphasis on sports and fitness tracking to win customers over, while areas such as third-party apps support continue to suffer, due to the US trade ban.
The Watch GT 5 brings a slightly slimmer case compared to the GT 4 while retaining the edgy, yet comfortable style. The octagonal bezel design has been refined with sharper edges for more character. The Watch GT 5 is made of durable 316L stainless steel, but it lacks the scratch-resistant sapphire glass found in the Pro version. The stainless steel case absolutely feels substantial, but the watch as a whole is pleasantly lightweight and isn’t distracting during activities or everyday use.
Aside from that, new to the Huawei Watch GT 5 is a full QWERTY keyboard for typing out quick replies, as well as screenshot support, which works by pressing both physical buttons at the same time. Unfortunately, contactless payments with the watch are still only available via Huawei Wallet, which is supported in a handful of countries.The Watch GT 5 comes with a very wide variety of workouts, from running and swimming to hiking, cycling, rowing and more.
Via the Huawei Health app, the company is also offering some premium features, such as fitness courses, meditations, Stay Fit plans and more.The GT 5 offers up to 14 days of battery life on the 46mm model, though heavy usage reduces that to around a week. The watch charges from 0 to 100% in about an hour, using Huawei’s proprietary charging dock.
