As someone who has tested a plethora of smartwatches over the past few years, including every new Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, and several Galaxy Watches, I approached the HUAWEI GT 5 Pro with cautious optimism. Despite always hearing good things about the company’s wearables, this is the first HUAWEI smartwatch I’ve ever tested. To my pleasant surprise, this wearable has plenty going for it. While using the GT 5 Pro, I have been genuinely impressed that you can get all this starting from £329 (~$439).
What does the HUAWEI Watch GT 5 Pro offer?
Right off the bat, the design stands out. Available in 42mm or 46mm models (I tested the latter), the octagon shape exudes a cool, elegant vibe, and the aerospace titanium build adds a premium touch. While adjusting for my smaller wrists was a bit tricky, the titanium band complements the high-end feel. The watch is not small by any means; it’s undeniably big, but I was surprised by how light it was for the size. It’s also IP69K rated for resistance against water immersion and also high-temperature, high-pressure water jets.
