Huawei Watch GT 4: A Comprehensive Review

Huawei unveiled its latest innovation, the Huawei Watch GT 4, last week at a captivating event hosted in a centuries-old Gothic building in Barcelona. The launch event was graced by the presence of Sir Mo Farah, a legendary long-distance track athlete, and the enchanting Pamela Reif, a renowned fitness influencer.

This new smartwatch line boasts an impressive lineup of seven distinct variations, and we had the opportunity to examine the 46 mm Rainforest Green model, featuring a braided composite strap and a Stainless Steel case.

The Huawei Watch GT series has consistently occupied the "Goldilocks Zone" within Huawei's wearable portfolio. These devices combine the design elegance found in the Ultimate and Watch number series, but with a more budget-friendly price point and superior battery life.

The latest addition to this family maintains the beloved 1.43-inch circular screen seen in the Watch 3 and Watch GT 3 series. Notably, it now incorporates an Always-On Display (AOD) with a bespoke design that intelligently manages power consumption.

Huawei claims that the Watch GT 4 excels in accuracy when measuring sleep patterns, heart rate, and menstrual cycles. We are committed to subjecting the new TruSeen 5.5+ and TruSleep 3.0 features to rigorous testing to evaluate the validity of their impressive 99% accuracy claims.

Additionally, the Watch GT 4 introduces new health tracking features, such as Lung function monitoring and Body Glucose Awareness. These smart algorithms generate insights based on a range of health data, including sleep patterns, arterial stiffness, heart rate, and electrocardiogram (ECG) readings. Another intriguing addition is the Calorie Monitor. While these features appear promising on paper, our forthcoming comprehensive review will assess their real-world accuracy and utility.

Battery life is a key consideration for any smartwatch user, and the Watch GT 4 is said to offer up to 14 days of regular use on a single charge. Even heavy users can expect a week of use before needing to recharge.

Pricing for the Huawei Watch GT 4 varies, with options ranging from €250 to €350. Our Rainforest Green unit falls towards the lower end of this spectrum, priced at €270. While this initial information is enticing, we'll reserve our final judgment until our full review is complete. Rest assured, we're diligently working on it, so stay tuned to this space for our in-depth assessment!
