If one high-tech company can pride itself on laying the groundwork for the further development of wearables and smartwatches, it is none other than Huawei. The Chinese technology giant has proved in recent years that it never ceases to pleasantly surprise us, constantly throwing new and innovative concepts on the table, significantly upgrading its already existing ideas and at the same time maximizing its presence in the wearables market. What we can easily understand is that in recent times Huawei is either redefining or defining the rules of the game with its products and with the Watch GT 5 series, which was presented at the Fashion Edge event in Barcelona, Huawei shows for another year the way for what are the specifications of creating a sophisticated smartwatch. Therefore, making an “attack” from new models (you can read our reviews about them Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro and Huawei Watch D2), the Huawei Watch GT 5 in the 41mm version (there is also a larger 46mm), winks at an audience that is largely charmed by elegance and style, without, however, that this means putting aside high-tech functions, essentially looking for a smartwatch that can combine the external appearance, with a multitude of sophisticated features!
Beauty οn the outside…
Facing the Watch GT 5 (41mm) for the first time, undoubtedly the first thing one notices is the minimalist elegance that distinguishes it in terms of external design. As is known, it is an open secret that Huawei “invests” in design and the Watch GT 5 (41mm) incorporates a distinct aesthetic that makes it stand out. The Huawei watch could be described as a technological masterpiece, which brings the avant-garde closer to tradition, creating a truly irresistible combination that cannot fail to steal your heart. Thus following a classic circular shape (as opposed to its big brother Watch GT5, which adopts the octagon), the 41mm Watch GT 5 attempts to highlight the more… “feminine” side of smartwatch technology, without making spectacular changes (in terms of design), compared to last year’s version (Watch GT 4), but also no “discount in terms of quality.
So, taking a closer look, we find, in addition to the circular shape, the classic buttons that we had last year, such as the rotating crown, but also the control and programming button. Although it is one of the “Benjamins” of the GT 5 series, the Chinese giant’s elegant smartwatch is in no way inferior in terms of durability and build quality, as it has metal bezels, as well as the tested stainless steel material, which gives very long lasting. Undoubtedly, the main body of the watch is “shielded” from various mishaps, mishaps and… other hardships so you can have peace of mind. The 1.32-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels (and a density of 326ppi) gives a fairly bright and sharp result.
And the back part is made of solid polymer, with the Chinese company doing its best so that its new wearable can withstand daily “strain”. In general, the Watch GT 5 (41mm) is a proposal that not only maintains its looks, but at the same time excels in terms of durability, as the existence of the IP69K standard (which not only means resistance to dust, mud and to falls, but also to contact with hot water that approaches 100 degrees), simply states Huawei’s intention to offer users a smartwatch that will withstand the passage of time and will not “bend”. Undoubtedly, Huawei’s delicate smartwatch is a technological jewel that can be worn from an evening fashion gala to a business dinner, but also for the daily walk and the gym. After all, in its polymorphic character lies the special… “magic” it emits.
Powerful on the inside…
The external appearance puts it at the top of the preferences of all fashionistas and lovers of wearable technology, however, the significant differences compared to last year’s model have to do mainly with the recording capabilities of the readings derived from our body. Carrying the unified and optimized TruSense, Huawei’s elegant smartwatch can continuously record 24/7 everything that happens in your body. We do not hide from you that the Watch GT 5 incorporates years of technological development, as the proposal of the Chinese technology giant proves to what extent the function of recording data related to well-being and the effort to adopt a healthier lifestyle has evolved.
The TruSense system is synonymous with innovation, offering impressive levels of accuracy, being a vitally important informative digital tool that depicts the state of your health. By monitoring heart rate, breathing and the way we sleep (through sophisticated sleep monitoring), the process of health monitoring changes… track. Indicatively, according to the official data provided by the Huawei people, heart rate accuracy during exercise improves to ± 5 bpm compared to gold standards, while blood oxygen monitoring during sleep or at high altitudes it becomes more accurate. The above upgrades are due to both a combination of software and hardware, as Huawei’s R&D department has really worked overtime to deliver the maximum result.
At the same time, a part that has been perfected has to do with the different fitness and sports activity programs. Having 100 different full enriched programs for different sports, as well as the possibility for customized sports programs, which are adapted purely to the capabilities and needs of each user, the 41mm Watch GT 5 can be an excellent companion in the gym and daily workout. In addition, Huawei’s new Running Form Analysis function provides more support for runners of all levels. The watch detects ground contact time, vertical sway and balance with an IMU sensor, enabling you to analyze your form for a more efficient, injury-free run. And the Stay Fit application helps significantly in finding the perfect balance between diet and exercise. Easily recording your meals and calorie deficit, the role in combination with the Health App, enables you to effectively manage your effort for even greater wellness.
Further commenting on the sporty ‘nature’ of the Watch GT 5 (41mm), with Outdoor Sports Mode, distance enthusiasts can now access fully color-mapped routes. This feature supports segment navigation, off-track alerts, elevation curves and map zooming, and great work has been done on the cycling side as well. Yes, the GT 5 has the new system Sunflower GPS by Huawei, which enhances positioning accuracy through an adaptive algorithm, ensuring highly accurate tracking during exercise. Compared to the GT 4, Huawei claims track accuracy has increased by 40%, distance accuracy by 30% and speed accuracy by 20%.
Add to the pluses the fact that it includes (as in previous Huawei smartwatches), an advanced menstrual cycle monitoring function, which if nothing else is an extremely useful tool that enables every woman to be completely informed. In conclusion, with the number of different features included in the Standard edition of the GT 5, the possibility of Bluetooth calls and the selection of different watchfaces are included (there is an endless variety), while the autonomy of the device is particularly well thought out, with a battery life of up to the 7 days. In fact, even with the screen always on (Always On Display), it is estimated that Huawei’s stylish smartwatch can withstand up to 3 days of continuous operation.
Smartwatch… redefined again this year!
Without a doubt, Huawei has the “magic touch” in smartwatches, as every year it does not rest on its laurels, but manages to greatly optimize the innovative concepts it has introduced to the market. With the innovative TruSense system, unique durability, improved GPS accuracy, long battery life, advanced functions for runners and well-being enthusiasts, but above all the irresistibly charming design and style, the GT 5 is simply a technological jewel, in fruit of every dynamic woman who treats the smartwatch as a fashion statement.
