Huawei has launched an updated range of wearables with the new Watch GT 5 Series. This series features two different versions of the smartwatch: the standard Watch GT 5 and the more advanced Watch GT 5 Pro, available in both 42mm and 46mm sizes.
Enhanced Health and Fitness Tracking
Continuing the successful elements of the GT series, the new smartwatches prioritize aesthetics and impressive battery life. However, they now come with improved health and fitness tracking thanks to Huawei’s innovative TruSense system. Let’s explore the specifics of these devices.
Design and Build Quality
First, let’s discuss the design. The Watch GT 5 Series retains the classic circular dial with a sleek, sharp-edged design. The standard model is made from stainless steel, while the Pro version boasts high-end materials such as aerospace-grade titanium alloy and nanocrystal ceramic.
Both the Huawei Watch GT 5 and the Watch GT 5 Pro (in both 42mm and 46mm sizes) have a similar look to their predecessors. The key advancement in the Watch GT 5 Series lies in its health and fitness tracking features, which now include the new TruSense System with enhanced sensors and algorithms.
Features of Each Model
While both the standard and Pro models utilize the TruSense System, the Pro version offers additional features. It includes an ECG analysis function, enabling users to record their ECG waveforms easily.
For fitness lovers, the Pro model is particularly impressive. It provides specialized features for activities like trail running and freediving. Trail runners benefit from segment-based navigation, off-course alerts, and detailed topographical maps right on their wrist. Freedivers can enjoy water resistance up to 40 meters, along with depth tracking and reminders.
Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the GT 5 Pro's 3D views of course maps for over 15,000 golf courses globally. It also offers various analytical tools to help improve your swing and monitor shot distances.
In contrast, the standard Watch GT 5 targets general fitness tracking, such as running form analysis, and appeals to a broader audience. However, both models support over 100 sports modes, allowing users to monitor their performance across various activities.
Battery Life and Compatibility
Regarding battery life, both the Huawei Watch GT 5 and GT 5 Pro in the 46mm size provide a remarkable 14 days of usage, while the 42mm versions promise around 7 days. All models are compatible with both Android and iOS devices and support Bluetooth calling.
Pricing and Availability
The starting price for the Watch GT 5 is set at £229.99, while the Pro model is priced at £329.99. Pre-orders for these devices are open from today until October 22nd, and customers who pre-order will receive a complimentary pair of Huawei FreeBuds 5i earbuds.
Additionally, users of the Huawei Watch GT 5 Series will receive a free 3-month membership to Huawei Health+. This platform offers access to a variety of fitness resources, including workout plans for all skill levels, guided meditations, and personalized fitness programs.
