Huawei has introduced its latest smartwatch lineup, the Watch GT 6 series, bringing major upgrades in battery life, display quality, and health tracking. The new collection includes the Watch GT 6 in 41 mm and 46 mm sizes, as well as the Watch GT 6 Pro, which now comes exclusively in a 46 mm version.

Battery and Performance Boost

Battery life is one of the standout improvements. The 46mm Pro can stretch to an impressive 21 days on light usage and around 12 days with regular use. Meanwhile, the smaller 41 mm GT 6 offers up to 14 days with light use and 7 days under typical conditions. These gains come from Huawei’s new “high-silicon stacked custom-shaped batteries”, which use 10% more silicon and a space-efficient design, boosting energy density by 37%.

Display and Hardware Upgrades

The larger GT 6 and GT 6 Pro models now sport a 1.47-inch OLED screen, up from 1.43 inches, with brightness soaring to 3,000 nits—more than double their predecessor. The 41 mm model features a compact but sharp 1.32-inch display, still bigger than what many rivals offer in similar-sized designs.

Positioning accuracy also gets a bump with redesigned antennas and enhanced dual-band algorithms, delivering up to 20% better tracking for outdoor activities.

Smarter Sports and Health Tracking

This generation places heavy emphasis on cycling and trail running. Huawei’s updated TruSense sensors achieve heart rate accuracy of up to 98% during cycling and 95% for trail runs. The watches support third-party gear like cadence sensors, power meters, and heart rate straps, offering advanced cycling data such as Functional Threshold Power, gradient tracking, and even a first-of-its-kind virtual power meter that calculates performance without extra equipment.

Group cycling gets smarter too, with a feature that lets riders see each other’s live locations and status. Trail runners and golfers will benefit from vector maps that allow near-infinite zoom. Huawei has also added a wheelchair mode that tracks activity using wheel rotations instead of steps, while calorie and duration metrics have been fine-tuned for wheelchair users.

Build, Materials, and Styles

The GT 6 series is built from premium materials like sapphire glass, titanium alloy, and nanocrystal ceramics. The watches are rated IP69 and 5ATM water resistant, safe for diving up to 40 metres.

Style options include Titanium, Brown, and Black for the Pro model, while the standard GT 6 46mm comes in Grey, Green, and Black. The 41mm edition offers even more colours, like purple, white, gold, and Milanese strap variants, paired with pivoting lugs for smaller wrists.
