The screen is 1.39 ”, designed in a combination of metal, plastic, and ceramic. In the opinions of the Huawei Watch GT, it is indicated that it has the screen option, although it will turn off after 5 minutes. This is done so that the smartwatch continues to save energy.

Huawei Watch GT

We started the review on the huawei watch gt by analyzing the way in which the watch connects with the mobile phone. It uses Bluetooth technology updated to version 4.0.

RELATED:  Fitness Tracker: Fit­bit Charge 4 vs Garmin Vivosport

We will have to install a free application to synchronize, and this is compatible with both Android operating systems and IOS.

In the application we can have controlled all the measurements in detail, to know the evolution of the training.

This model has a heart rate monitor function, although it can also be synchronized with certain frequency bands to achieve greater precision. The compatible devices will have to be studied before making a decision.

However, for the price of the huawei watch gt, this model does not have a GPS function. Don’t panic just yet, as you can use the GPS function of your mobile phone, once it has been paired with Bluetooth technology.

It is a waterproof model, and it can be submerged to a depth of up to 5ATM. As long as we do not go over the limit, the watch will be in good hands.

The Huawei watch GT watch battery is presented with a charging capacity of 420 mAh, with a magnetic charging system. He estimates that on one charge, the battery life will be a couple of weeks.

Although it is not indicated exactly how many sports it is capable of monitoring, it is known that it is a multisport model, capable of controlling all activities in detail.

It can be synchronized with other devices using Bluetooth and Ant + technology.

The Bluetooth system is what we will use to synchronize the data with an app with the mobile phone.

We can also connect additional frequency bands thanks to its ANT + technology, in case we want to increase the precision of the heart rate monitor.

In reviews on the garmin vivoactive 3 model, not much attention is paid to the heart rate monitor function. The truth is that it is quite accurate, but a frequency band will make the measurements even more precise.

Another reason we give you to buy the garmin vivoactive 3 watch is that it has GPS technology (in addition to being able to improve measurements with GLONASS).

It is waterproof and can even be submerged, although the product technical sheet does not indicate to what extent it can be done. It has a problem, and it is that it is not able to record measurements when we are swimming with it (so it is not suitable for swimming).

On a single charge it can last up to 7 days in smartwatch mode, and up to 13 hours in GPS mode.

It has more than 15 pre-installed applications to monitor sports sessions such as yoga, running, swimming, and much more.
