I've been looking at the Watch 5 for months, now Amazon have them at literally half the original price I could resist no longer! Previous had a Samsung watch 6 classic, and this thing is MUCH more comfortable, lasts longer and IMO looks better. Yes the tap to pay is a bit clunky here in the UK but that's not a deal breaker for me
These 3 watches are virtually identical in software and hardware experience and barring some minor tweaks like bigger batteries stronger GPS and heart rate tracking.
You get excellent build quality with smooth software
Tracking is some the best on the market... See quantified scientist
There's limited apps and nfc, strava and export of data support...google maps they have petal maps instead... If any of these is a deal breaker skip this watch
What you get is beautifull looking watch that tracks superbly with a one week battery depending on usage.
The build quality is excellent... For context my Huawei gt runner gave it to relative and he hasn't had a problem in 4 yrs. Still using it.... The 4 and 5 are sold and they still using them
I track running paddle squash tennis and weight lifting... Does great
I also answer calls messages and music off the watch
Pairs well with both android and iPhone.
Please use a region like South Africa or China or UK... When creating account as some features region locked
The value here is is the price... You can pick then new and second hand for under 200usd. It's it's new or second hand go gt5 and up... I repeat they almost identical watches
Any 22mm strap will work on them
They Huawei apps bit clunky but does the job well
The screen brightness is good... The pro has saphirre glass and diving and golf...if you worried use a screen protector
Ask away
Not only it asks you like 500 different things when you download/setup the app and pair it to the watch, but once you start using their watches you have to agree to terms in literary every fcking app :(
Why Can't it be a single Agree and you are done, but no... The whole watch even won't track anything until you literary go through every app and agree to the terms in each and every of them.
It's soooo annoying and not a Nice Experience at all...
I love Huawei watches but this $hit is just terrible and cheapens the whole Experience So much!
No one reads or cares about any of that garbage anyway - Huawei Get this $hit out of your watches ASAP!
TL;DR: The Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro doesn’t offer anything to justify its price. Its health tracking lags behind even much older models. Despite being more expensive than Samsung or Fitbit trackers, it produces inaccurate readings and trends.
As someone who’s obsessed with fitness trackers and wearables and constantly keeps an eye on the market, I used to use the Huawei Watch Fit 2. The heart rate sensor was excellent and the stress tracking worked incredibly accurately. So far, I’ve used the Fitbit Charge 6, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and the Huawei Watch Fit 2. I sold the Galaxy Watch 8 because of its shortcomings with heart rate monitoring and wanted to buy a Huawei, as my experience with the Fit 2 had been brilliant and I had complete faith in the brand, but...
After this product, I started to hate Huawei. WHERE THE HELL DID THE CALIBRATION FOR STRESS TRACKING GO? The watch never once detected high stress levels. After binge eating, during a nervous breakdown, whilst ill – in truly stressful, terrifying situations where I was drenched in sweat – the stress level was consistently between ‘normal’ and ‘mild’ in every single instance. Are you kidding , Huawei? Even though I’m not a fan of the Galaxy Watch 8’s heart rate monitoring, but it would still pick up on even the slightest moment of stress and send an alert. They removed stress monitoring because of emotional welness feature but is that accurate? Totally wrong and rubbish!
TRUSLEEP HAS BEEN UPDATES FOR YEARS , BUT THE RESULTS ARE STILL TERRIBLE. Trusleep 5.0, which is claimed to provide better sleep analysis, has only been added to the Watch Fit 5 series. They aren’t rolling out the software update to older Fit models or GT models. What do you think of the accuracy of Trusleep 5.0, which seems so highly touted? IT’S AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER. It’s even worse than the cheapest fitness trackers from Samsung, Amazfit and Fitbit. Google improves the accuracy of its sleep tracking almost every month through software updates alone, rolling these out to older-generation Fitbit and Google trackers. Even Fitbit’s $100 products track your sleep accurately with a %75–80 correlation compared to medical devices. Huawei’s sleep stage graphs are completely at odds with Fitbit’s. The sleep tracking is rubbish. The breathing awareness isn’t accurate either. When I was ill, both my nostrils were completely blocked all night, and I was experiencing micro-awakenings throughout the night due to difficulty breathing. When I checked the sleep breathing awareness the next morning, it said everything was normal. Yet Fitbit had immediately shown a sudden drop in SpO2.
As for the heart rate, it’s not great. Instead of detecting sudden spikes, it simply lags behind and ignores them. Whilst lying in bed, I suddenly sat up to try and raise my heart rate. Whilst my heart rate shot up from 60 bpm to 120 bpm straight away, the Huawei showed 70–80 bpm and then 110 bpm for about 20 seconds. It isn’t even as good as the Fitbit Charge 6 at capturing sharp peaks. It has better heart rate tracking than the Samsung GW8. But it’s weaker at detecting instantaneous peaks than a $100 Fitbit. A complete let-down.
Finally, I’d like to mention HRV. HRV isn’t measured continuously. It’s measured roughly every half an hour. The feature is completely unnecessary because it never shows daily or weekly trends. In other words, even if they were to collect the raw data, there’s no algorithm or logic to analyse it. It’s just a feature that’s been tacked on. My HRV was 25 ms 30 minutes ago, but now it’s showing 110. And I feel exactly the same. Then it drops to 35 ms. Is my body ready for strenuous activity or not? It’s just a confusing, unnecessary feature.
All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone. I reckon those calling this watch an ‘Apple Watch killer’ are just promoting it for money. The only thing it has over the Apple Watch is battery life. That’s it. I never thought the sensors and readings would be worse than those of the Fit 2 and GT 3 series from years ago, but they are.
Hello guys,
Just bought this strap from coros (the one in coros Pace 4) and it is perfect).
It is one of the only straps in this format that has a smooth side outside as opposed to the ugly Velcro loops (like the one that comes with the gt runner 2).
It is quite expensive though but it was very worthy especially because I have child like wrists for a 1.83 meter height man and this one is perfect in size.
Do you know any more straps that have a smooth side like this? Coros also had one in the pace 3 but I don't see any other brand using these. They are all the same with the ugly Velcro loops.
Edit: forgot to mention I removed the connector that came with it and just looped it over the pin because I don't like to use the connector
Iphone 14 Pro owner. Planning to get a smart watch. Was contemplating GT6 Pro, maybe even wait for GT7 Pro. Chose it mainly for cost and battery. Battery life is most important. I want the watch for the time and the form factor. I do think, Fit also is cool. But felt GT6Pro had better features. Not too much into sports. Best of the Aw seems to pricey for me. Shall I go for it? How much is the annoyance of not having an apple watch OS
Hi everyone, I am just done with my apple watch series 10, battery lasts 1 day with 92% battery life which is nuts to me , gt6 pro looks perfect for me, I just want to know if I van get whatsapp and messenger texts on it compared with my iphone 16 pro and can we reply to them? Thank you!
Today I have noticed that the data from my ECG is not showing, every time I take a reading it is showing like I haven't done one before.
The forerunner 165 got a huge discount on Amazon it's now approximately 240$ making it in the same range as a Huawei gt6 pro, I'm not a professional athlete but I do need an accurate watch with a good software.
-The garmin forerunner 165 is a pure running watch , no music, no wifi, old sensors, single band gps but people still praise it as an amazing entry watch for runners especially with how accurate the vo2 max is and the software (Sync perfectly with strava and has a better ecosystem/app overall)
-On the other hand, the Huawei gt6 pro provides an all round experience it has better sensors/gps and features like ecg, dual band gps, but the Huawei ecosystem isn't much , it can't be synced accurately with strava , no third party apps and people don't actually recommend it as running watch even with all the sensors it has.
I'm not looking for a "brand" watch, but alot of people nowadays recommend an entry level garmin(like the 165) over a mid-high tier Huawei watch.
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Huawei Watch GT 6 and a Fit 5 Pro, and I noticed a screen flickering issue on the GT 6 when waking it up from Always-On Display (AOD) to the main watch face. Meanwhile, the Fit 5 Pro transitions smoothly under the exact same settings and watch faces. I’ve already tried multiple different watch faces, but the issue persists.
I’ve recorded a video to compare them side-by-side. Has anyone else experienced this, and is this a known software bug or just how the animation behaves on the GT series?
Any insights would be appreciated!
Hello, im thinking to get a new watch. I train in lots of sports like running, cycling, gym, swimming (sometimes), hiking (rarely) and yoga. Im thinking about switching from garmin forerunner 55 and I need a long lasting battery, HRV and sleep score and strava connection. Im thinking about upgrading to Huawei GT4, is it worth it?? Should I consider other watches??
Hopefully this post will squeeze through, but I have the above dilemma. Will be updating from a GT Runner and trading it in for the PX 5 for £299. Thoughts?
I brought gt5 watch ⌚ few days back in India . I have a huwaie health app but when I try to search for watch faces nothing shows up . I have search for watch face . What is it so ? Am I missing something? See 2 screenshot one not having anything. Another showing search results.
Hi Guys,
Stuck in choosing between these two models, I want some outsider's perspective in which one would fit more towards a formal watch, something that would be suitable for professional meetings, and also everyday life. Also, if there are any differences between both of them.
Watch 5 is around $300 and GT 6 Pro is around $350, both Titanium versions.
هذه ساعتي huwei watch gt 6 pro اشتريتها قبل شهرين واستخدمها بشكل طبيعي فوجئت اليوم بعد الاستيقاظ من النوم ان شاشتها بهذا الشكل وفيها عدم ثبات للصورة والالوان واستمر هذا الوضع لساعتين وقمت بعمل ضبط المصنع ولازالت المشكلة مستمرة وفجأة بعد نصف ساعة من عمل ضبط المصنع عادت الساعة لوضعها الطبيعي وهي الان تعمل بشكل ممتاز وبحالتها الاصلية ماهو تفسيرك وتحليلك لهذه المشكلة وهل هي مؤقتة أو ستعود او ان هناك خلل في هاردوير الشاشة يستدعي الذهاب لمركز الصيانة ؟ وهل تحدث مثل هذه الحالات ويعتبر شيء طبيعي
I've been running with the watch face 'Digital LCD CAT 1' for a year and felt like a change.
However, I'm very picky, so finding a replacement took ages.
Finally found one I really like 'PIXEL' by designer 'Minimalist'
Happy is me again 😁
I'm interested in buying a Huawei Watch GT 6 Pro smartwatch. What are some of the advantages/disadvantages of using one with an Android phone in the EU? Are there any dealbreakers you encountered?
