Huawei has officially unveiled its latest smartwatch lineup, featuring the Huawei Watch GT 5 series and Watch D2, packed with cutting-edge health tracking technology, durable materials, and impressive battery life. Alongside these models, a new edition of the Huawei Watch Ultimate has also been introduced in a striking green color. Let’s explore the key features and what sets these new Huawei wearables apart.
Huawei Watch GT 5: Improved Design and Enhanced Features
The Huawei Watch GT 5 series arrives in two sizes, 41mm and 46mm, just like its predecessor. Both models retain the same screen sizes—1.32 inches for the smaller version and 1.43 inches for the larger one. However, Huawei has focused on refining the design, making the 41mm model 0.3mm thinner than last year’s GT 4.
These watches offer a choice of materials for the wrist straps, ranging from metal and leather to plastic and woven options. The Blue variant of the 46mm model, inspired by the ocean, is the standout color this year. It comes with a graduated bezel that complements its sleek design, while the 41mm variant opts for a more compact, bezel-less look.
Advanced GPS and TruSense Health Monitoring
Huawei has made significant improvements to the GPS positioning capabilities, enhancing route accuracy by 40%, and boosting distance and pace accuracy by 30% and 20%, respectively. This is great news for runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts who rely on precise tracking.
The TruSense health monitoring system has been upgraded with additional features, such as Sleep Apnea Detection in addition to the standard sleep tracking, heart rate, and blood oxygen measurements. Women’s health tracking and a unique emotional well-being tracker are also included, though the latter will not be available in Europe.
Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro: Titanium Build with Premium Features
The Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro takes things a step further with a titanium body, available in two sizes—42mm and 46mm. The smaller 42mm model combines ceramic elements with the titanium frame, while the larger one offers strap options made from titanium or fluoroelastomer. The sapphire glass display adds a layer of durability, ensuring these watches are both stylish and robust.
Health enthusiasts will appreciate the ECG feature, which can generate ECG waveforms in just 30 seconds. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, the Pro series offers offline maps, terrain details, and altitude change estimates for improved navigation. Trail runners will benefit from real-time directions, segment-based navigation, and integration with Komoot for route planning.
Additionally, the GT 5 Pro watches come equipped with over 100 workout modes, including a Free Diving mode with water resistance up to 40m, making them ideal for water sports. The Pro models are also rated IP69K for resistance to hot water jets and are protected from salt spray corrosion, thanks to a special exterior coating.
Huawei Watch D2: Precision Blood Pressure Monitoring
The new Huawei Watch D2 is a specialized smartwatch designed for those who need accurate blood pressure readings. Unlike other wearables that rely on optical sensors, the D2 uses an inflatable wrist cuff for reliable measurements, similar to medical-grade devices. It’s also equipped with an ECG, heart rate monitor, and skin temperature sensor, making it a comprehensive health tool.
The D2 features a 1.82-inch OLED display and is slightly smaller and lighter than the original Watch D, despite housing an air pump and blood pressure sensor. It’s a great option for those seeking a smartwatch with advanced health monitoring features.
Huawei Watch Ultimate: A New Green Edition
The Huawei Watch Ultimate, known for its premium build and durability, now comes in a Green edition. This new variant features a dual-color nano-tech ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal glass. The Ultimate is also the first smartwatch to use Zirconium-based liquid metal, further enhancing its rugged design.
With a range of green-colored wrist straps, including woven, HNBR rubber, and titanium options, the Watch Ultimate offers a versatile look for adventurers and professionals alike.
Battery Life and Pricing
One of the standout features of the Huawei Watch GT 5 series is its impressive battery life. The smaller models (41mm and 42mm) can last up to 5 days with Always On Display (AOD) enabled, and 7 days with regular use. The larger models (46mm) offer even longer battery life, lasting 9 days with AOD and up to 14 days with standard usage. The Pro models support wireless charging and can fully charge in just 60 minutes.
As for pricing, the Huawei Watch GT 5 series starts at £230 in the UK, while the Pro models begin at £330 for the 46mm variant and £400 for the 42mm. In Europe, the GT 5 is priced at €250, with the Pro models starting at €380. The Huawei Watch D2 is priced at £350 in the UK and €400 in Europe. Lastly, the Watch Ultimate Green edition is available for €900.
Conclusion
The Huawei Watch GT 5 series, Watch D2, and the new Watch Ultimate edition offer a blend of style, functionality, and advanced health tracking features. Whether you’re an athlete, a health-conscious individual, or someone who enjoys outdoor adventures, Huawei’s latest watches provide something for everyone. With improved GPS, enhanced health monitoring, and long battery life, these smartwatches are a worthy addition to Huawei’s wearable lineup.
