Huawei Watch GT Hands-On
Huawei is joining the fray with the Watch GT, a familiar-looking smartwatch that, for some inexplicable reason, relies on a proprietary operating system instead of Wear OS. The company is making bold claims about the Watch GT’s 30-day battery life while emphasizing the device’s sports-tracking prowess. Given how much we liked Huawei’s previous watches, I was excited by its latest attempt. But based on my time with an early unit, I’m not sure the new smartwatch will stand out in this year’s crowded wearables space.
Update 10/22/2018: Huawei followed up after this video was posted to say that the watch is running on software that isn’t final

WHEN HUAWEI WATCH GT LOUNCH IN INDIA
seems laggy as other watches…i havent really seen one not laggy,guess that a point to i watch…
Remove that smirk at 1:50 …. unprofessional
Huawei need to come with it's own software to keep the battery least longer.
it's good for healthy exercise watch cause the battery life. i have the talk band 5. it's for health also with battery life of 4 days, plus it's also a phone. really really good for taking calls without looking for the phone. gt is much stylish that b5 though.
When doing exercise like run is the screen stay on like at stratos watch?
It is a pity you can't have the always on screen any more on Huawei.
Using it for about a month. Works great and fast (no lags at all). Battery lasts for about 10 days…great!. Weekly updates, bugs repairs, new skins, watches, etc. I also tried it in more difficult environment, like team sports, etc. No issues. Happy, great watch!
That screen looks awful! I was considering this watch but after seeing that I think i'll pass.
Why did Huawei depart from the design of the original Huawei Watch?? That one was beautiful! And now I can't even buy a new one anymore 🙁
If you read more news you knew that OS of other watches makes a lot of lag and makes watches heat so before talking better read news you b**
It's also not 800 bucks. You can get one for 300ish. That's the point. Its not an apple watch. Period.
Copy CAT 🙂
God, is moving really slowly…
This os once evolved would be the best operating system for smart watches this watch is great two weeks and still %35 of battery not lagging at all and does what would be expected from a smart watch. I love it and highly recommend it .
You shouldn't be reviewing this if you don't know why it chose its own operating system instead of Wear ?
If it last two weeks between charges then I want one.
Huawei Watch GT… Najdebilnejšie hodinky. Objednal som si ich z Orange. Už mi neukazujú, kto volá a hlavne, že mi neukazujú, ak ich mám položené na stole. To znamená, že ak mám mobil v bunde a nemám hodinky na ruke, tak ani neviem, že niekto volá. Musím pozrieť na mobil. Tak načo mi sú? … Lebo majú dlhú výdrž batérie… Super. Mám ich teda vypnuté a nenosím ich… Viete, ako mi potom dlho vydržia? Aj viac ako 3.587 dní. Paráda! 🙂
I don't like the interface and it looks so laggy. Doesn't worth it for me.
Is it really pronounced Haaway? Or later, Howey?
