Quality, performance, design: if you’re a health-and-fitness enthusiast who likes to keep abreast of trending technology, the advanced HUAWEI WATCH GT5 and HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro are the latest additions to the HUAWEI wearable range. With their geometric designs and edgy aesthetics, the GT5 Series is now an established fashion accessory.

The HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Series opens a new chapter in health-and-fitness tracking with the introduction of HUAWEI TruSense technology. Using upgraded hardware including multi-spacing optical-path architecture, multi-region optical-path design and cutting-edge glass-darkening technology, your health-and-fitness data are monitored more quickly and accurately than ever before, even when undertaking challenging exercises like high-intensity interval training (HIIT), outdoor running and even swimming.

HUAWEI’s TruSense system now offers all manner of health-monitoring tools including heart-rate tracking, sleep monitoring, blood pressure and body temperature measurements, calorie expenditure, SpO2 blood-oxygen analysis and hundreds of workout modes.

When you’re out and about, the GT5 Series of smartwatches uses an adaptive algorithm to take GPS positioning up a notch compared with the GT4, boosting route accuracy by 40 per cent, distance accuracy by 30 per cent and pace accuracy by 20 per cent. Sports modes allow you to monitor your running form and even download interesting trails straight to the watch. 

When it comes to battery life, the HUAWEI WATCH GT5 41mm lasts up to seven days, while the HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro 46mm and GT5 46mm each last up to 14 days. Keeping you connected to your existing devices, the latest HUAWEI WATCH GT Series smartwatch is compatible with EMUI, Android and iOS smartphones.

Both the HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro 46mm and HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro 42mm incorporate luxurious titanium and ceramic materials in their design. The 46mm HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro’s body and case are made exclusively from aerospace-grade titanium alloy, which is corrosion and scratch resistant, lightweight and durable. The HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro 42mm has been expertly crafted with gold accents, perfectly complementing the white ceramics that were inspired by the glimmer of sunlight on snow. A truly premium design fit for the most sophisticated of HUAWEI’s smartwatches.

The gold additions form a dazzling ring around the watch bezel, finishing off the delicate look with a subtle sense of luxury. When paired with the light gold ceramic-titanium strap, the HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro 42mm looks like a traditional luxury timepiece. There are also 13 new watch-face designs to choose from.

The HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro has advanced health-tracking features such as a medical-grade electrocardiogram (ECG). In its professional free-diving sports mode, five atmospheres of IP69K water resistance, an improved interface (audio opening waterproof membrane and structural component bonding surface) allow free divers to experience depths of up to 40 metres like never before.

The HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro even has a golf-course mode that allows you to download 3,000 course maps across the UK and 15,000 around the world. This mode uses accurate GPS distance measurements to gauge the length of your next shot. The 3D golf map allows users to see panoramic views of the holes including the position of tees, fairways, trees, bunkers, water and greens. Using precision wind speed measurements, including its strength and direction, the HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro delivers real-time data to enable golfers to plan their next shot down to a tee.

Runners will love the professional data display and IMU sensor that detects ground-contact time, vertical oscillation and balance, all of which help athletes improve their form and minimise injuries. Technical runners and cross-country racers will love the segment-based navigation features, off-course alerts, contour lines and zoomable maps. You will even be able to have real-time fitness data and trail information beamed directly to your wrist.

The HUAWEI WATCH GT5 has a vibrant AMOLED display, stainless-steel construction and 11 new watch-face designs. It is equipped with heart-rate monitoring, an extremely accurate GPS, advanced sleep analysis and various workout modes. Both watches in the GT5 Series allow you to view your health summary instantly in the HUAWEI Health App, which can be found on all Android and iOS devices.

The HUAWEI WATCH GT5 has an IP68 dust- and water-resistance rating and can handle water depths of 1.5 metres for 30 minutes. With a battery that can last up to two weeks on a single charge, straps designed from a variety of materials including composite leather and up to 100 sport features, the 46mm HUAWEI WATCH GT5 combines elegance, style and innovative technology in its iconic octagonal bezel.

You can now buy the HUAWEI WATCH GT5 from £229.99 and the HUAWEI WATCH GT5 Pro from only £329.99 at the HUAWEI UK store. You will also receive a free set of HUAWEI FreeBuds 5i earbuds and a £40 coupon for an extra strap with the code A40OFFSTRAP at checkout.
