The 46mm version of the Pro model has a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen with an iconic octagonal dial and enhanced bezel details that create sharp, distinct lines.

The standard Huawei Watch GT 5 is available in 41mm and 46mm versions made from durable stainless steel offering even more choices for potential buyers.

Huawei TruSense System

The Huawei TruSense System debuts on the Huawei Watch GT 5 Series, marking a significant step forward in health and fitness tracking. According to Huawei, this new system massively improves accuracy, speed, and comprehensiveness in monitoring vital signs. Heart rate accuracy during running is now over 98%.

Thanks to the new Emotional Wellbeing Assistant, the watch now infers the user’s emotional state by tracking long-term patterns. Adding a touch of fun, the watch offers a Pet Panda watch face that reacts to the wearer’s mood with animations, reflecting how you feel.

For female users, the Huawei Watch GT 5 Series offers advanced cycle management, providing accessible and insightful health information in an easy-to-navigate format.

Battery longevity remains a key feature, with the 46mm model boasting a battery life of up to 14 days and the 41mm and 42mm versions up to 7 days of use. Wireless charging support ensures that powering up the device is both quick and effortless.

Enhanced running & cycling features

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts will find the smartwatches support a variety of new sports tracking capabilities, including enhanced cycling tools and a more comprehensive running experience. Utilising the Huawei Sunflower Positioning System, the watch offers advanced route mapping for cycling and running.

The new RouteDraw feature adds a fun twist to every run, encouraging users to explore new routes and locations. After completing a run, you can easily share your route graphics on social media directly from the Huawei Health App. The watch now supports advanced trail running functions, including directional guidance. If the runner deviates from the trail, the watch will alert the user with prompts to help them get back on track.

During cycling, essential indicators are automatically displayed on your smartphone in real-time, allowing you to keep track of your riding status at any moment. Essentially, the Huawei Health App turns your phone into a full-fledged cycling computer.

For diving enthusiasts, the smartwatch now boasts a free diving water resistance depth of up to 40 meters. Last but not least, the upgraded Golf Course Mode on the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Pro now features over 345 golf course maps right here in South Africa.
