Huawei launched the GT 4 last week at an event held in a stunning three-century-old Gothic building in Barcelona. The wearable was introduced by Sir Mo Farah, one of the world’s most decorated long-distance athletes, along with the gorgeous Pamela Reif, an influencer known for her workout videos.
The smartwatch was introduced in seven different variants and we received the 46mm Rainforest Green with woven composite strap and stainless steel case.
The Watch GT series generally sits in the Goldilocks Zone of Huawei wearables, with a design that matches the Ultimate and Watch series, but a lower price and better battery life.
This new wearable has the same 1.43-inch circular screen as the Watch 3 and Watch GT 3 series, but now features AOD with a unique dial-adapted design that preserves battery capacity.
According to Huawei, the Watch GT 4 is more accurate in measuring sleep, heart rate and menstrual cycle. We’ll put the new TruSeen 5.5+ and TruSleep 3.0 features through extensive testing and see how good the 99% accuracy claims are.
The Watch GT 4 also tracks lung function and has a feature called Body Glucose Awareness: these are intelligent algorithms that provide results based on other health data collected, such as sleep schedule, arterial stiffness, heart rate and ECG . Another new feature added to the HarmonyOS 4.0 based device is calorie tracking – all of these look great on paper and we will do our best to provide an understandable answer as to how accurate they are in real life.
The battery is said to last 14 days of regular use, while even heavy users should get a week’s worth of charge.
Pricing ranges from €250 to €350, and our Rainforest Green unit is closer to the lower end with its €270 price point. It looks tempting on paper, but we’ll have our verdict once the full review is published. We’re already working on it, so keep watching this space!
