HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro 46mm Silver/Brown

The Huawei Watch GT 6 Pro is a robust outdoor watch with a long battery life. This sturdy watch can withstand a knock or two and provides me with comprehensive insight into my health and sports performance.

Robust design The watch case is 46 millimeters and has a robust design. The edges are angular, giving the watch a larger appearance. The GT 6 Pro is quite heavy, but it's comfortable to wear. I barely feel it on my wrist. The watch case is made of durable zirconium and the screen is made of sapphire crystal. So the watch can withstand a knock or two.

Bright screen and always easy to read The screen is very bright and has rich colors. This keeps everything clearly visible when I'm looking at the screen outdoors in bright sunlight or looking at the watch from the side. When I scroll or tap an app, the screen responds quickly.

Long battery life I used the watch for four days with the always-on screen enabled. During those four days, I only worked out for an hour. After those four days, I had about 50 percent remaining. So the watch only needs to be charged once a week. It lasts longer if the always-on screen is turned off.

Extensive insight into my health The watch measures my heart rate and movement throughout the day. The data is very accurate, so I know exactly what my stress level is and how many steps I take. At night, the watch measures my sleep. In the Huawei Health app on my smartphone, I get a daily sleep score and tips to improve my sleep if needed. I can only use Huawei apps. For example, I don't listen to Spotify music directly from the GT 6 Pro.

More than 100 sports modes During a bike ride, I see that the smartwatch displays my power output in addition to my heart rate and distance. It's like wearing a kind of bike computer on my wrist. When scrolling through all the sports modes, I see that the watch is also suitable for golf and scuba diving. I haven't tested this myself. In the Huawei Health app on my smartphone, I find many different training plans. From half-marathon running plans to gym workouts, I load all these plans onto my smartwatch. That way, I get notifications when I need to exercise again.

I've had the GT 6 Pro for a while now, and it's a fantastic sports watch. The build quality is sublime; the sapphire crystal and titanium feel solid. The ultra-long battery life is its biggest selling point, with up to 21 days possible. I regularly use the ECG Analysis for insight into my heart health. During cycling, the pro-level tracking provides me with data I normally miss. The GPS and heart rate measurements are accurate and fast. I have to be honest: the software is its weak point. You need the Huawei app, and the app selection is limited. But if you're looking for a "fitness-first" watch, this is a great choice.

I've been wearing it daily for over three weeks now. After the first full charge, I got over two weeks of mixed use (3–4 workouts with GPS per week).

What surprised me is how stable my heart rate remains during intervals; the peaks and troughs match my feelings.

While cycling, I like to play with the virtual cycling power, which eliminates the need for a power meter and still gives me an idea of my effort.

It feels like a sports watch with a premium design.
