Review: Huawei GT4, sleek design for fitness enthusiasts

Huawei GT4 caters to a wide range of users seeking both fashion and well-being

The Huawei GT4 watch is a notable addition to the world of smartwatches, offering a harmonious blend of style and functionality. With its sleek design, extended battery life, and advanced health and fitness features, it caters to a wide range of users seeking both fashion and well-being.

Design and personalisation

The Huawei GT4 series presents a fresh take on smartwatch design, offering options in both 46mm and 41mm sizes. The 46mm version’s octagon-shaped watch body exudes a sense of luxury and modernity, while the 41mm version is all about grace and sophistication, making it a perfect accessory for various occasions. With a range of colours and watchbands available, users can effortlessly customise their watch to match their style and mood.

Battery Life

The standout feature of the Huawei GT4 is its impressive battery life, with the 46mm version offering up to 14 days of usage and the 41mm version up to 7 days. This extended battery life ensures uninterrupted usage, reducing the need for frequent recharging. The convenience of wireless charging and reverse charging capabilities adds to the overall appeal. While the GT2 featured a detachable charger compatible with any Type C charger, the latest watch doesn’t have that option which is a little inconvenient.

Health and fitness features

The Huawei GT4 brings an array of upgraded health and fitness features to the table. The TruSeen 5.5+ heart rate monitoring technology utilises AI algorithms to provide highly accurate heart rate readings, even under challenging conditions. The Sleep Breathing Awareness feature detects sleep interruptions and changes in blood oxygen levels, aiding users in improving sleep quality over time. The TruSleep 3.0 feature provides comprehensive sleep-tracking data, enabling users to make informed choices about their well-being.

Smart workout coach

The Huawei GT4 isn’t just a fashion statement; it’s a comprehensive fitness companion. The innovative Stay Fit app assists in calorie control and weight management, offering weight control plans and calorie alerts to help users reach their health and fitness goals.

Tracking workouts in the watch is also quite convenient given its easy access from the home screen and customisable exercise modes. With over 100 different sports modes, including support for niche sports like Padel, the watch caters to a wide range of fitness enthusiasts. The intelligent GNSS solution in the 46mm version ensures accurate workout tracking, whether indoors or outdoors.

Bluetooth calling and messaging

The Enhanced Bluetooth Calling feature with a range of up to 100 metres from the paired smartphone is a valuable convenience, allowing users to answer calls and view messages without removing their phones from their pockets.

Connecting to Android and iOS

GT4 is compatible with both Android and iOS phones. Though it’s a little tricky to download the Huawei Health app on Android, it is possible.
