TechRadar Verdict
From a technical standpoint, Huawei has created a beast of a watch.
Its a gorgeous-looking powerhouse reminiscent of a premium dive watch.
Its fast, full of features, and tracking is accurate, not to mention useful.
Huawei Watch GT 4: One minute review
I really like the Huawei Watch GT 4.
Its functional too, with highly accurate metrics.
Having said all that, I wont be using it again.
The EU still allows Huawei devices to be sold.
Its a shame because the Watch is terrific value.
Unless youre an existing Huawei user, theres almost always a better option.
It was a pleasure to use.
It echoed a classic chronograph and complemented the stainless steel aesthetic.
Speaking of the stainless steel, I have to share a grievance about changing the band.
It was not a painless experience, but the watch looks ace with it on.
TruSleep and TruSeen 5.5+ sensors offer advanced heart rate monitoring and ECG functionalities.
All the Huawei-native stuff is great: its the lack of compatibility with other phones andoperating systemsthats the problem.
Want Google or Apple Maps on your watch?
Tough, youre stuck with Huaweis own Petal Maps.
Sleep and workout metrics held up very well, and I was happy with the results I got.
