we reviewed Watch GT 5 Pro An incredible product from Huawei at a pretty aggressive price (for what it offers). It’s the younger brother’s turn and, we predict, it does make a lot of sense and is a device that’s loved in many ways. Like its big brother, the GT 5 also brings Trusonthe data collected through the Huawei Health Lab laboratory network, combined with more empirical information provided by the laboratory, also has impeccable products in terms of sensors (we also provide you with the latest data ) Tell in detail), a laboratory with countless technologies designed to achieve perfection in monitoring quality.
Aesthetics and Materials
The appearance design of Huawei Watch GT 5 is beautiful, elegant and refined. The crown is octagonal, contrasting with the perfectly round display. The case is made of steel and the strap can be Viton, leather or fabric. We have blue with a fabric strap and a 46mm dial, which is a really nice color. The two tones of blue and white on the inside of the ring make it even more special, yet always elegant and suitable for any setting. The quality is comparable to traditional watches in the same price range. Of course, the strap can also be replaced with one you like.
Like its big brother, we have IP69K certification and pay special attention to the durability of internal components to limit internal oxidation.

Huawei didn’t even skimp on the display, which has the same specs and resolution as the one used on the GT 5 Pro: a stunning 1.43-inch AMOLED with a 466x466px resolution that’s sharp and bright. The brightness is automatically adjusted (automation works well) and there is apparently an “always on” feature, which often affects autonomy. The touch screen is also very responsive.
connectedness and autonomy
Huawei only chose the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi version, not the LTE version. Let’s say it again: this isn’t a problem, few people are willing to pay extra for a standalone smartwatch.
We haven’t found Huawei’s app yet: apart from being compatible with iOS and Android, it’s really well made. The only limitation on iOS (for now) is the inability to respond to notifications. However, emojis are supported on all platforms without any issues. There is a Celia keyboard on Android that can be interacted with. Can take calls, has a microphone and speakers, and is of very good quality for a watch.
Huawei has accustomed us to excellent battery life, and the GT 5 continues that trend by keeping in line with the brand’s other watches, with a battery that lasts nearly 10 days with normal use and automatic monitoring activated. , and with “Always On” activated, the battery can last for 5 days. Not having to remember to charge the watch every 2/3 days (works on Wear OS at most, but also on my Apple Watch Ultra) is a big plus.
Although smartwatches are equipped with NFC, it is not currently possible to make payments using smartwatches, but new implementations in this sense cannot be ruled out.
Software and sensors
GT 5 also uses the Hongmeng operating system: choosing a self-developed operating system not only ensures good integration between all the brand’s products, but also ensures better autonomy. There are many watch faces, both free and paid (obviously the selection of free watch faces is more limited). There’s no access to the App Library, a feature reserved for the very high-end, but there are so many included that you won’t miss them. You’ll forgive us if we keep repeating the same thing (if you’ve read the GT 5 Pro review), but now it’s time to talk about TruSense, the only difference being that there’s no EKG. The sensors are the same, so the quality of monitoring is the same.
The whole smartwatch revolves around the new TruSense technology: discussing it in detail would take a whole article (if you want to follow it specifically, maybe tell us in the comments or in our Telegram group), this is because TruSense is not just an integration A commercial name for a device, algorithm, or something that already exists, but a true integrated system of health and physical activity based on scientific data, including data collected from the above Huawei Health Lab), this data is collected and analyzed at multiple levels and used to improve sensor accuracy and predictive information. Information collected by Huawei laboratories includes continuous monitoring of vital parameters, best research, electronics and materials science to ensure the greatest possible efficiency by limiting variables such as skin color, pulse size or weather conditions that often affect Monitoring accuracy. Huawei also uses certification from independent agencies to confirm the work done internally. TruSense measures 60 health and fitness indicators (across the body’s six major systems).
Like the GT 5 Pro, the GT 5 works perfectly: not only the monitoring of any parameter is very precise (sleep, but also targeted recommendations based on detected parameters or problems encountered with breathing or temperature changes), But there are also numerous sports modes, including new running and riding modes. The research that Huawei conducts regularly in its labs also applies to the capabilities of its smartwatches. Whether your purpose is health monitoring or training and sports activity analysis, you’ll find something to suit your needs. Pressure and respiration monitoring are also very accurate. To understand the concept of TruSense, it is enough to know that, for example, even pollution levels can be analyzed to precisely calibrate breathing quality and fatigue levels, as well as changes in body temperature. As we always say, these solutions are not a replacement for professional equipment and are certainly not life-saving solutions, but we have reached levels that were unimaginable just a few years ago.
As we said, an overview of your health will not force you to leave the doctor: repeating what we wrote in another review, a watch cannot manage your health, but must be designed to provide simple information and help you guide you to more Suitable lifestyle, everything goes quickly.
The TruSense system starts from six basic points: accuracy of information, completeness of information, immediacy, flexibility (so that monitoring inaccuracies are not caused by environmental and physical conditions), transparency of the open source system and the continuous development of the system , thanks to a trip to the well-stocked Huawei labs.
Prices and Conclusions
Huawei GT 5 launched on the official website Available in 41 mm and 46 mm models, the smaller version costs 249 euros and the 46 mm version costs 279 euros. As a gift, you will receive FreeBuds SE 2 headphones and a fluoroelastomer strap. In fact, it’s a freebie worth €98. Use our coupon AEVOGTTG (limited time) and you will get an extra 10% off. That’s an interesting price for a product that aims to be a cheaper alternative to the Huawei GT 5 Pro and makes almost no sacrifices.
