The Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro introduces cutting-edge technology, building on its predecessors with powerful health-tracking, durable design, and advanced smart features.

Design & Build

The Watch GT 5 Pro is available in 46mm and 42mm models, with the titanium alloy body adding to its premium feel. Weighing 53 grams without the strap, it’s slightly bulkier than prior models, yet it still maintains comfort. Huawei includes a high-quality titanium strap, though users can easily swap it for standard 22mm options.

TruSense Health Monitoring

Huawei debuts its TruSense system in this watch, offering detailed heart rate, SpO2, blood pressure, and sleep monitoring. This six-sensor system was designed in collaboration with medical experts, and our tests showed accurate tracking comparable to medical-grade devices.

Enhanced Software with HarmonyOS 5.0

The watch runs on HarmonyOS 5.0, featuring interactive notifications, a QWERTY keyboard, and support for GPX track imports for runners. Petal Maps brings offline navigation, though it lacks detailed hill gradients. HarmonyOS updates expected in 2025 could add further refinements.

Battery Life

The GT 5 Pro excels in battery life. Under typical usage, it lasts up to 10 days. For athletes, GPS usage during a half-marathon drained only 5%, while a full 10-hour ultramarathon consumed minimal power. However, Always-On Display (AOD) reduces battery life to about 4 days.

Charging is flexible with Qi compatibility, though the included magnetic charger is recommended for stability.

Verdict

The Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro is a significant investment but offers top-notch performance for active and style-conscious users alike. The fluoroelastomer strap option offers a more affordable entry without compromising essential features.
