  • The Watch GT5 Pro, you guessed it, is the advanced or "pro" version of the Huawei Watch GT5, a more expensive watch aimed at serious fitness enthusiasts. Enhancements include dedicated golf and diving modes as well as the ability to measure both ECG and arterial stiffness. The build quality is also superior with a titanium case and sapphire glass.

The Huawei Watch GT5 Pro, as reviewed by TechRadar, is a smartwatch that emphasizes long battery life, offering up to 14 days of usage on a single charge, which is significantly longer than many of its competitors. It features a sleek design with a stainless steel body and a ceramic bezel, giving it a premium look. The watch includes comprehensive health and fitness tracking capabilities, such as heart rate monitoring, SpO2 (blood oxygen) levels, sleep tracking, and stress monitoring. It supports over 100 workout modes, catering to a wide range of physical activities. However, the review notes some limitations including the lack of third-party app support due to Huawei's ongoing issues with Google services, which means no Google Pay or Google Assistant. The software experience is described as smooth but somewhat limited by Huawei's proprietary HarmonyOS, which might not offer the same level of integration and app ecosystem as Wear OS or watchOS. Despite these drawbacks, the GT5 Pro is praised for its robust build quality, impressive battery life, and detailed health metrics, making it a strong contender for users prioritizing fitness tracking and battery endurance over app ecosystem richness.
