HUAWEI Watch GT 4 First Impressions

HUAWEI has recently unveiled the HUAWEI Watch GT 4. It’s a fusion between style and tech as the smartwatch features a long lasting battery which makes it ideal for traditional mechanical watch users, features a HarmonyOS and a lot sensors, and also a stylish design.

Design

The HUAWEI Watch GT 4 series features a design that can really captivate both genders as they got a 46mm watch face with a premium-looking design while the 41mm features an elegant round watch face design that fits perfectly for the fashionistas.

The 41mm comes in a roundwatch face and it comes in white leather watchband and silver metal band for the people who wants to have a stylish smartwatch while the black flourorubber strap are for the more active lifestyle.

While the 46mm comes in different octagonal design as this one has a tougher and meaner design that looks perfect on large wrists. It comes it comes with an octagonal design that makes it look like more in line with a lot of premium and expensive traditional watches and it comes in Black, Brown, Green, and Grey with different variety of straps ranging from fluororubber, leather, steel, and fabric.

Display

One of the essential features for these watch is the display. The 46mm comes with 1.43-inch display and a resolution of 466×466 while the 41mm comes with 1.32-inch display withe same resolution.

For the quality, it’s very decent even at outside use as the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 comes with a pretty bright display. It’s smooth as well which is a plus and the colors are really nice on this one unlike most affordable smartwatch in the market

It’s an always-on display so you can always check the time or the watchface even though you’re not using it. While the always-on display’s design will always rely on the watchface that you’re using for the smartwatch.

Features

The HUAWEI Watch GT 4 comes with a lot of features inside that every smartwatch users will definitely like. As expected, there are the features including health and fitness tracking just like most smartwatch in the market but this one can record from the more than 100 workout modes. The HUAWEI Watch GT 4 also comes with heart rate sensor, blood oxygen sensor, sleep tracking, and stress sensor so you’ll be updated with your health all the time.

But my personal favorite and one of its unique features is the Pulse Wave Arrhythmia Analysis which can check potential A-fib and premature beat risks on your heart. Basically, it lets you know if there are abnormalities in your heart which can definitely save your life someday.

Other cool features that are included in here includes the skin temperature scanner which was really helpful before personally when I had COVID-19 and also the cycle calendar for women’s health.

For the software, there’s the different functions that you need including music playback control, expanded notifications and also answering calls directly on the watch. It’s pretty much everything that we can expect from a smartwatch but unlike the Watch number series, this one doesn’t have the HUAWEI AppGallery to download third party apps.

Battery

The best feature about the HUAWEI Watch GT Series is the battery and with the HUAWEI Watch GT 4, HUAWEI promises an up to 2 weeks of battery life on the 46mm and up to 1 week battery life on the 41mm. But of course, it will be a lot shorter if you use the always-on display on the smartwatch.

Overall, the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 gives you the flexibility in the design with its different design for the 46mm and 41mm. The design of the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 also makes it more attractive to traditional watch users as they look more like a traditional watch and they have a really long battery life.

It might not have all the features needed but the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 does come with a plenty of sensors which consumers would definitely love and the addition of the Pulse Wave Arrythmia sensor is also a nice feature to have on a smartwatch that is meant to keep us healthier.

Overall, I do love the balance of the traditional design of the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 and also the smartwatch features inside it. It’s a well-balanced smartwatch for those people who are just transitioning into a smartwatch from traditional mechanical watches.
