The new Huawei Watch GT 5 series is out and we have both vanilla GT5 and the GT5 Pro. Now let’s take a look inside the GT 5’s box.
At first glance, the GT 5 offers a modest upgrade, and for the most part, that’s true. The GT 5’s hardware is largely the same as last year’s GT 4. It comes in two variants: 41mm and 46mm, built around 1.32-inch and 1.43-inch screens respectively. However, Huawei managed to shave 0.3mm off the thickness.
We have the 41mm option, which better suits smaller wrists. The 316L stainless steel housing can still withstand a pressure of 5 ATM and is IP69K certified against water and dust.
The upgrades include new antennas and improved positioning algorithms that increase route accuracy by 40%, while improving distance and pace accuracy by 30% and 20% respectively.
The Watch GT 5 also comes with Huawei’s new TruSense health tracking system. It enhances the Sleep Breathing Awareness feature with sleep apnea detection. People in countries outside the EU can also record their emotions to monitor their emotional well-being as well.
Stay tuned for the full review to see how the new features work in the real world and whether Huawei has further improved the user experience.
