When we first caught wind of Huawei’s short video teaser for Mobile World Congress, we felt a bit sad. Sure, we groaned at the swipes Huawei made at Apple and Samsung, but we also hoped for something resembling a smartwatch. Our hopes went up, though, after a Wall Street Journal report outed Huawei’s smartwatch as present for MWC. Now, pictures have surfaced from Chinese social network Weibo of Huawei’s smartwatch, courtesy of a Huawei executive. The caption reads: “My new toy. Do you like this color?” Let’s get this out of the way: it looks ugly. The band itself is thick and the display sticks out above the band. We’re hoping this might be a prototype, because it looks dated. It is possible to make stylish and good-looking devices that are meant to be on your wrist. Just take look at Pebble’s and (maybe) Samsung’s recent efforts. Still, we don’t know much about the watch, and until we play around with it, there really isn’t much we can say. Even so, it’s hard to look at the image and be thrilled about it. If this image turns out to be the real deal, Huawei is already behind the curve in terms of looks. But sometimes function can triumph over form, so let’s see what Huawei has under its sleeve, or on its wrist. Huawei has announced a host of new smartwatches that are ready to combat the onslaught of Apple’s latest Series 10 and Ultra 2 smartwatch range, along with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra. The Watch GT 5 consists of three individual versions, a 41mm Watch GT 5, a 46mm Watch GT 5, and the Watch GT 5 Pro, plus there’s a new Huawei Watch Ultimate edition called the Fairway Green. Finally, it has also announced the Watch D2, which incorporates an all-in-one blood pressure management system. It’s hard to argue with the variety here, so lets dig into what makes each one special.
Huawei Watch GT 5
Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro Huawei The three different Watch GT 5 models all use an octagonal bezel, but emphasize it in different ways. The 41mm takes on a more elegant look and has a rounder shape in general, while the Watch GT 5 Pro really shows off the angles and sharpness of the bezel’s shape for a more defined look. The 46mm Watch GT 5 sits somewhere in between the two distinct styles.
