Huawei Watch GT 4 Smartwatch Lands in SA, Price Revealed

Huawei has announced the launch of Huawei Watch GT 4 in South Africa. The luxury smartwatch is the latest generation of the Watch GT flagship series and promises to introduce users to elevated design features with powerful health and fitness functionalities.

The smartwatch is also part of Huawei’s new ‘Fashion-Forward’ proposition for its wearable technology, taking technology and fashion integration to the next level and empowering users to personalise their health and sports journey, without compromising on style. With a focus on fashionable aesthetics, the new Watch GT4 offers users two watch face designs to choose from. It’s all about your style, so take your pick from either the striking Octagon bezel design or the elegant Pendant design.

Classics evolved: Fusing traditional craftsmanship with modern trends

The Watch GT4 takes a bold ‘Fashion Forward’ step up from classic GT Series designs, introducing inventive design elements while retaining the modern geometric aesthetics of its predecessors. The watch comes in two design variations — a 46mm watch face in a striking Octagonal design with a strong and sturdy exterior, and the 41mm watch face with a sleek Pendant design fashioned to resemble statement jewellery pieces.

Designed to fit different styles, personalities, and occasions, the smartwatch is available in 6 different colourways. With the 46mm watch face users can choose between a classic Brown Leather Strap, dynamic Rainforest Green GMT and Black Rubber Strap models. The sophisticated 41mm watch face is available in Two-tone Piano Key Bracelet, jewellery-inspired Milanese Bracelet and White Leather Strap variants.

Furthermore, users can find their own styles and even customise their watch face, picking from 25,000+ watch faces available in the gallery. The watch face designs are not only stylish, but many of them come with innovative design features to boot.

Innovative health features for active health management

The new smartwatch looks like an elegant, luxury timepiece but it is also packed with tech features to give you so much more every day.

The new smartwatch makes it easy to integrate smart technology into a healthy lifestyle and boasts three new features to take health monitoring up a notch. The new features include PPG Arrhythmia Analysis, Menstrual Cycle Management 3.0 and Sleep Breathing Awareness. These improved features take advantage of Huawei’s new TruSeenTM 5.5+ health indicator monitoring technology, which incorporates a multi-channel signal enhancement algorithm rooted in a Huawei-exclusive deep learning method.

With the Watch GT4, Huawei has also improved heart health monitoring, promising “30% more accurate reading of their heart health even during dynamic activities (e.g., running, rope-skipping) or low temperature environments.” Upgraded features like the TruSleepTM 3.0 now also promises users improved insight into their respiratory health during sleep.

Outdo your best with new fitness features

Taking a leap forward from its predecessor, the Watch GT 3, the new Watch GT 4 offers improved Activity Rings, the all-new Stay Fit app, and upgraded GNSS tracking.

The improved Activity Rings feature displays daily fitness statistics (calories burnt, exercise duration, and activity while standing) at a glance. Plus, users will have access to over 100 Sports modes, now including trendier sports like Padel and even eSports, making it more convenient than ever to stay active.

Improved connectivity and battery

The Huawei Watch GT 4 can be linked with iOS and Android devices through the Huawei Health app, making it easy to keep track of your health and fitness while also making communication simpler. Convenient lifestyle and communication features of the Watch GT 4 include quick messaging ad replies using multiple messaging apps, as well as enabled third-party applications to access music, navigation, and more.

If battery life is important to you, then you’ll be thrilled to know that the smartwatch grants users up to 2 weeks of battery life.
