So happy with my purchase, the watch looks gorgeous.
This watch is sleek and professional, (bought with brown leather strap) the light/face stays on all the time, looks fantastic, doesnt bombard me with tech but tracks my heart/sleep and lasts a week between charges. I love how comfortable it is, the fact it stays on 24/7 and is so descrete. If you don’t want apps and loads of rubbish and just want a beautiful watch which looks great with a suit/smart attire but is tracking your health and can alert you of important stuff from your phone go for this – you can also snap on the black watch strap and take it on a run, use a different face and make it more of a gym watch. Bad bits are there isn’t many watch faces, it’s hard to customise aa the options aren’t there and you can’t reply to messages on the watch – i wanted something sleek and simple with a bit of health and tech, very pleased with this watch. It appears bigger on photos than it is is real life, i’m 6ft av build and its a great fit.
I have used this watch for a month now and i’m very impressed. Battery life is brilliant, you could easily get a week or more depending on how you use it. This watch is not a smartphone on your wrist.You can cancel calls but cannot answer them. You can read notifications from any apps you choose to connect to the watch and you can read messages and emails, however, you cannot reply. Personally i like it this way, i do not want to talk to a watch and i do not want to type texts on a watch. There is no web browsing on this watch either, which i am also not bothered about. Smart watches that have all of these functions do not have as good battery life as this watch.I have used it in pools and showers with no issues and it still works perfectly in these environments.
From the minute i recieved this watch it felt like a high quality product. Set into a stylish box which contained the watch, a warranty, quick start instruction manual, a spare strap and a magnetic charching cable for a usb plug, (which is not included). I took about 10 minutes to fully charge after unpacking and then it was ready to go. You have to operate huawei operating app and huawei health app before you can start using the watch. There are a whole range of health , workout and other options to this great device. It is constantly tacking your heart rate , sleep patterns and overall activity records. It has a full range of workout functions that range from indoor and outdoor run, swim ,cycle to hiking ,swimming,triathlon,rowing and so on. This really is a quality peice of tech which can recieve and make calls , play music tell you the weather and a whole host of other useful functions. I really rate this watch and at the price it is at the moment , it is an absolute bargain.
I’ve started running again recently so wanted to track my progress, i immediately thought about a fitbit. Started looking at smart watches and just spent ages. Ended up a choice, i thought, between the versa 2 and garmin vivosmart 4. I stayed to looking at the samsung galaxy watch but rejected quickly based on battery life, then this watch was suggested, and i have a huawei p30 pro phone (which is awesome by the way) so thought i’d take a look. The smaller (gt 42) size is good for me as i have a pretty normal size wrist for a bloke, so this watch doesn’t look overly big (it doesn’t look like a big smart watch) it is also very thin, no bigger than my existing mechanical watch. Screen is beautiful and clear with vibrant colours (loads of watch faces to choose from well) the gps works fine, sleep measuring is good too. Heartbeat and vo2 max all good. You can set running targets and can see stats and hear from a coach as you run, so you know how well you’re doing vs those targets. Loaded up 130 mps3 to listen to so don’t need my phone with me when running, just bluetooth to my earbuds. Annoying that it doesnt yet sync to strava (although i understand this is being worked on). The huawei health app on my phone is great. Lots of info so you can compare the same run pretty easily and see progress. Would be nice to be able to directly sync amazon music, but no great hardship to copy across a load of tracks.
I had a garmin vivoactive 3 before this watch which was fine but i wanted a bulkier watch that i could wear casually and didn’t look just like a sports watch so opted for this. I checked all reviews and for the price this seemed best. It’s been almost a month since i had this watch and on a whole i love it but do have a few issues. Im used to the garmin connect which in my opinion is better and has more usability2- the watch faces need to be editable like the garmin ones and also it would be nice if there was more to chose from. 3-not sure about the monitoring. The sleep monitoring seems ok but the stress levels don’t get recorded every 30 mins like they should. This has been happening since a recent upgrade. 4- the notifications come through to the watch fine but each notification comes through multiple times. Not sure if it’s a setting that needs changing but i can’t find it.

I’ve owned a few smartwatches including the samsung later models and apple and until i was given a gt1 as a freebie by my phone operator i had no idea how good this watch was for everyday use. I upgraded to the 2 just because i wanted the silver case but its brilliant again with easily 7-10 days battery life and ridiculously fast charging. My apple and samsung watches were dead after about a day and a half. There is now a big range of free faces and the screen display is bright and detailed enough for any normal use. You can take and make calls on the watch which is a step up from the gt1 andit’s swim proof and pretty decently made so with a rubber strap you can wear it for most activities. The sleep tracking app is pretty decent with insights etc and overall its a great watch. If you would usually spend high end suunto/garmon money then this won’t be for you but compared to the apple, samsung and other mainstream choices this really is a good product.
