Huawei Watch GT Guide: GT 4, GT 5, GT 6 and Pro Models

Huawei's phones have a complicated relationship with Google, but its watches remain very competitive. The Watch GT line has long battery life, attractive designs and strong fitness features.

The GT family

Watch GT 4 comes in several styles and sizes with a fashion focus.

Watch GT 5 46mm brings an updated design and improved tracking.

Watch GT 5 Pro 46mm adds premium materials such as titanium and ceramic, along with more advanced sports features.

Watch GT 6 and GT 6 Pro 46mm are the newer models we list. Please check the listings for the latest specifications.

Huawei Watch Buds is an unusual product: a smartwatch with earbuds stored inside. It is a neat idea for those who constantly lose earbuds or dislike carrying a case.

Phone compatibility

Huawei's watches work with Android and iPhone through the Huawei Health app. Features can be more limited on iPhone, and installation of the app on Android may involve downloading it from Huawei's own app store rather than Google Play. We can help you with setup if needed.

Some health features may depend on region, and watches are not medical devices. Please see a doctor about any health concern.

Battery life

One of the GT series' main benefits is battery life, often measured in days rather than hours. Real-world figures depend on GPS, screen settings and notifications. This is a big advantage if you dislike daily charging.

Sports tracking

GT watches support a wide range of activities. Pro models offer more advanced support for activities like golf, diving or trail running. Check whether the features you need are available before you pay for a higher tier.

Limitations

App selection is more limited than on Apple Watch or Wear OS. If you want a large range of third-party apps, choose Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch.

Bluetooth calling and message handling can also vary by phone.

Sizes

46mm is large and looks better on medium to large wrists. Smaller sizes may be available in some models, so check the listing. Try the watch on if you can.

How to choose

For style and value, look at the GT 4. For strong all-round features, choose the GT 5 or GT 6. For premium materials, go for a Pro.
