Huawei continues making strides in innovation with the introduction of its latest wearable device. Featuring a premium classic watch style, the Huawei Watch GT provides key smartwatch capabilities, specializing in sophisticated fitness and wellness tracking capabilities and smart notifications, while addressing the most common pain point of smart wearables – battery life. 

Named after Grand Tourers, a performance and luxury car capable of high speed and long-distance driving, the Huawei Watch GT uses an innovative dual-engine and smart power-saving architecture that enables it to switch between performance and efficiency modes depending on your activity to maximize battery life.
This smartwatch features two-week battery life with typical use including: all day wear and heart rate function activated, scientific sleeping function activated at night, 90 minutes of exercise per week and message notification.
Used without exercise tracking in a more traditional watch scenario, it can stay charged for up to 30 days. In a
Marathon scenario with GPS, heart rate monitoring and running mode activated, the average battery life is up to 22 hours.

The Huawei Watch GT is now available for pre-order in the U.S. at Amazon and Newegg. Stylish and resilient, it has a ceramic bezel design, stainless steel shell and Diamond-like Carbon coating.  The ceramic bezel undergoes a 23-step process that creates a hardness 6 times that of stainless steel and makes it resistant to scratches under the most extreme environments. Measuring a mere 10.6 mm in thickness and featuring a 1.39” 454 x 454 AMOLED high-resolution display with double crowns makes it vibrant and slim.

Design wise it’s available with an Italian cowhide leather strap in Saddle Brown or a sporty Graphite Black silicone strap on the outside and skin-friendly elastomer silicone rubber material on the inside, making it breathable, sweat resistant and comfortable.

In addition to the ultra-long battery life, the Huawei Watch GT features industry-leading fitness and wellness tracking capabilities to inform a healthy lifestyle. It supports a range of indoor and outdoor fitness activities including: indoor exercises, outdoor running, mountain climbing, cycling and open water swimming.
Featuring three of the major satellite positioning systems – GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO – and a tracking algorithm, this smartwatch provides comprehensive, precise positioning for distance tracking.
It also comes with a fitness coach built-in with a scientific training system that includes introductory to advanced running courses and FirstBeat powered training effect analyses such as VO2max Fitness Level, Training Effect (Aerobic), Training Load, Training Status, Recovery Time Advisor, Personalized Plans (Running), Calories Burned, and Race Time Predictor.

The Huawei TruSeen 3.0 heart rate monitoring technology tracks active and resting heart rates. Combining innovative PPG optical and hardware design and AI algorithms, it can monitor the heart rate of users in real time with high precision.
In Sport mode, the Huawei Watch GT can be set up to notify individuals to adjust the intensity of their workout based on a pre-set target heart rate interval. In rest mode, the smart watch automatically monitors and records the resting heart rate of users.

The Huawei Watch GT can also track deep sleep, light sleep, REM sleep, awake, and naps with Huawei TruSleep.  Developed in collaboration with Harvard Medical School’s CDB Center, Huawei TruSleep helps identify the six most common sleep-related issues, and recommends potential solutions to help you sleep better.

 The Huawei Watch GT is now available for pre-order at www.huawei.com, Amazon and Newegg. It comes in two color and material options, the sporty Graphite Black with a silicone strap for $199.99 or a sophisticated leather/silicone strap in Saddle Brown for $229.99. Both will be available at additional retailers in late February.
