A wearable that sticks to the basics. Alongside the Watch GT 5 Pro, Huawei launched a more affordable alternative in the Watch GT 5. It lacks some advanced.
Alongside the Watch GT 5 Pro, Huawei launched a more affordable alternative in the Watch GT 5. It lacks some advanced health sensors but still brings the new TruSense monitoring system.
The Watch GT 5 is all about design and style. The case still has the geometric patterns that Huawei implemented in the Pro and the GT 4 predecessor. We received a 41 mm with a Blue strap, where the geometric shapes are somewhat more subtle.
Our unit weighs just 35 grams, and the blue fluoroelastomer does not add much extra weight. The whole device feels light and unobtrusive, and it feels small on larger wrists. At the front it has a 1.32″ AMOLED display with 466 x 466 pixels resolution and offers some watch faces that are impressively detailed even in AOD mode.
The 41 mm supports standard 20 mm straps. There is a rotating crown button on the side and a programmable second button alongside it. The Watch GT 5 does not support ECG measurements though.
Another missing feature is the arterial stiffness measurement. The screen has regular protective glass on top, not sapphire, and the case itself is made from stainless steel, not titanium.
