Huawei continues to bet on physical activity and the wearables that surround it. The latest launch of the Chinese company has been the Huawei Watch GT smartwatch, noted for having the greatest autonomy on the market, as well as an activity bracelet called Huawei Band 3 Pro.
Not too much specific information about the new smartwatch is yet known, but we do know that it has the recent technological addition «dual chip«, with which, according to the manufacturer, more than 80% savings in energy consumption can be obtained.
The smartwatch with greater autonomy
Huawei Watch GT has two models:
- Sport: it comes in a dark box and has rubber straps designed for moments of physical activity.
- Classic: we will find it in a silver case and with a strap more similar to the traditional watch.
It has a total thickness of 11 mm, so it becomes a thinnest wearable than Apple Watch Series 4 (13mm). And its screen is 1 inches and the resolution is 39 × 454 pixels.
Although, without a doubt, the Huawei Watch GT stands out for its great capacity for autonomy, arriving at 2 weeks with the heart rate sensor on and maintaining an activity of 90 minutes per week. It is still a limited use, but capable of lasting 22 hours of non-stop monitoring or with GPS activated. In case of disabling the heart rate sensor, your battery may reach up to 30 days.
Huawei Watch GT, designed for athletes
Being a smart watch designed for athletes, Huawei wanted to use the best technologies to provide more accurate data. The heart rate sensor has the TruSeen 3.0 technology Huawei, providing more accurate real-time measurement.
The watch is capable of propose training routines, circuits to run, consult data on distances or times, in addition to informing us about our aerobic capacity live.
As a novelty, Huawei Watch GT opens up to the world of swimming and cycling, improving water resistance to monitor training in open water or swimming pools.
One of the basic functions of almost any smart watch continues to be maintained: sleep control. The technology Huawei TruSleep 2.0 It is in charge of analyzing the sleep cycle and providing information to help us sleep better.
With Wear OS 2.0 system
It was not going to take long for the platform to be implemented Google in smart wearables. In other watches it has been integrated as an update, although in this case it will appear from the factory. The striking thing is that does not offer Wi-Fi connectivity, so it will be necessary to resume Bluetooth to be able to link it to the phone and take advantage of all its functions.
Huawei Band 3 Pro, new activity bracelet
They usually go hand in hand, and Huawei has not missed the opportunity to also present an activity bracelet. The Huawei Band 3 Pro may be the more affordable alternative for those who don't want (or can't) afford the smartwatch.
It has a 0-inch AMOLED screen, TruSeen 95 technology for the heart rate sensor, GPS, water resistance and notification management.
Price and availability of both
We will find the new smart watch at 199 euros in the Sport model and at 249 euros in the Classic model. On the other hand, the activity bracelet will be priced at 99 euros. Both will go on sale very soon.
