HUAWEI WATCH 5 Silver 46mm + HUAWEI FreeBuds 6i Black

The Huawei Watch 5 was released in May 2025. This large smartwatch is one of Huawei's top models. I tested this Watch 5 for a few days and I think it is a very comprehensive smartwatch.

Size and design I tested the large 46 millimeter model. This size is far too large for my narrow wrist of 14 centimeters in circumference. This watch fits best on a wrist of at least 17 centimeters. Despite the fact that the Watch 5 was too large, I found it comfortable. The watch is round and fairly thick. This makes it stick out a lot above my wrist. It is also quite heavy because it is made of stainless steel.

Large and clear screen The screen is clear and very colorful. This makes it easy to read even in bright sunlight. The screen is also large and clear. When I scroll through the menu, the app in the middle of the screen is enlarged. I don't like this as much, but it is clear. I like that you can set moving watch faces. For example, clouds float by on the standard screen. This gives the smartwatch an extra special appearance.

Extensive health measurement Huawei smartwatches all measure your health very extensively. This Watch 5 goes one step further. I not only measure the basics such as my sleep, stress level and heart rate. The Watch 5 makes a complete scan of my blood via the middle button on the side. I put my finger on it. Then the Watch 5 measures the oxygen in my blood, how flexible my veins are and various heart films. According to Huawei, a measurement via your finger is better than via your wrist. I have not been able to test whether this is the case.

Many sports options This Huawei Watch 5 has countless sports profiles that I can choose from. All standard sports such as running, walking, cycling and swimming are of course included. But I also choose from e-sports, such as gaming, or all kinds of dancing. I like the fact that you can't actually see that this smartwatch can do so much. If I want, I wear it like an old-fashioned, analogue watch. But in the meantime I could dive into the sea with it if I wanted to.
