My short review of
Huawei Watch GT
Design - absolutely beautiful, the slimmest so far. I had check out Samsung Galaxy Watch also when I can't find this Huawei Watch GT, sorry to said Samsung Galaxy Watch looks bulky from side and I much prefer the design on Huawei Watch GT.
Functions - all basic functions such as set apps notification and call notification is there and it meets my requirement, the only missing probably is they is no way to control phone media player. I strongly suggest Huawei added this basic function. Also added basic reply of message, as well capable of viewing emoticon.
Watch Face - the bundle is well done but too little to choose from, if no 3rd party possible yet, I do hope Huawei added more watch interface on it. Also I hope they is some simple clock appear all times option when in standby mode. I don't might it get reduce to 10 days or a week with always on clock.
Battery Life - I just get it can't talk much, but my friend do using it and he said no issue to stand 2 weeks time, this is the main reason I very interesting on this watch, all smart watch shall behave like this, a 2 weeks standby time instead of 1.5 to 3 days.
Screen Quality - absolutely gorgeous! the watch face is big enough and not over size, and higher 454x454 pixel make this the highest sharpness watch in the market. Absolutely gorgeous!
If you only need basic notification with sport/fitness functionality with longest 2 weeks standby battery life, this watch is definitely worth to get for the moment.
If you love to install plenty of apps, then this watch is definitely not for you as this smart watch is running Huawei own proprietary OS and not Android Wear and no 3rd party apps available for the moment.
After 2 weeks usage add-on review.
Battery life is what Huawei mentioned and yes it can last for 14 days with 24/7 Heart Rate always on and all time connect to phone with following apps notification set to on
- SMS, Wechat, WhatsApp, Line, Skype, Aftership, Birthdays and Grab and also incoming call.
Notification only works for notification that appear on top your phone notification, which means apps not appear notification on top won't appear in your watch, I also notice it did very well where it only appear in your watch when you wearing it, it won't appear if you not wearing it. The notification for the moment only have 3 icons for separation, one for WeChat, one for SMS and one for others online messenger. For the moment, they is no support of viewing the emoji at watch or photo view. You only can read normal text message and reject call only, no reply or answering call.
Updates - So far I already received 3 times update and everytime is getting better and better, some enhancement I received from this 3 updates include new additional icon for message notification - WeChat. Beside this, Workout Recovery Time can seen from the watch now and update improvement on Heart Rate Accuracy. I do hope Huawei can added more watch face in future and also added the ability to control playback on your phone music player.
Do I regret buying this watch? Absolutely not,
this is the best smart watch I ever own, it function is fulfill my needs and the awesome 2 weeks battery life is freaking awesome! I no longer need to charge my watch every day but instead only once per 2 weeks.
