"battery life has been EXTREMELY disappointing for me. Not disappointing, but EXTREMELY disappointing. ... Huawey claims 4 day on a regular use. Ive seen a few youtubers claiming 5 day usage (on normal mode. Not battery saving mode). ... I have always on DISABLED, autobrightness, im not using the gps, i dont receive that many notifications and im not using a particularly demanding watchface. Im only getting TWO days usage between charges, which is the same i was getting on my Galaxy watch, which is 7 years old, and has a fully-fledged OS and app store."
"I think it is too expensive for what it offers. ... Had i known about real battery life usage, i may have bought the oneplus watch 3."

"the screen is too small ... it's difficult to use with gloves on ... it's just completely and pointlessly impractical to actually use for anything meaningful on the trails regarding the map ... looking at a map on your wrist is less convenient than you might think."
"Maps on the GT series requires you to set destinations on your phone, but once that's running it'll stream everything over. ... if you just want the tracking data and not to actually use maps for navigation."
"keeping the map in an "always on" state will drain the battery, even on a long battery life watch like the GT5 Pro ... you're usually wanting to use the watch in "wake up" mode where if you look at it the screen comes up just like a phone, but that becomes impractical on the trails for real time usage."

"Music on the GT series is mostly about controlling music you've started playing on your phone. ... You can't see the playlist, you can just skip, go to previous, play pause, etc. ... You can manually add tracks to the watch, but the player is very basic; no streaming. ... Your headphones or whatnot will still mostly be connected to your phone."
"Alarm Sync: If the phone alarm rings, I should be able to turn it off via the watch."
"DND Sync: Turning on Do Not Disturb on the watch should automatically enable it on my smartphone."

"Third party store is pathetic. ... You cannot browse it on the phone, you have to manually browse it on the watch, which is very cumbersome. ... A 650€ watch, which is supposed to be premium, shouldn't have such poor app gallery."
"3d app support is way worse than Wear OS or Tizen, of course. ... Google maps is not available ... You cannot view WhatsApp images or the whole conversation."
"Use Health Sync! One time payment lang ng 199 para mawala na din yung Strava tax and hindi na rin default na “huawei activity…” yung nasa Strava. Lol."

Huawei Watch GT5 Pro. Absolutely shat on my galaxy watch ultra in every single way.
r/Android • What is the best watch for Android currently? ->Io ho avuto un gt 5 pro huawei fino a qualche giorno fa adesso da quattro cinque giorni uno One plus Watch 3 . Una cosa che non comprendo è il valore del sonno profondo. Nei giorni scorsi mi segnava carenza e ci stava ma ieri ad esempio ho dormito meglio. Su Huawei mi segnava anche fino a 2 ore di sonno profondo. Qui honuna media di 50 minuti a notte. https://preview.redd.it/kyhobew4espe1.jpeg?width=1437&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0f11b334b7f20232472a448c98a9fb72482c45f
r/oneplus • OnePlus Watch 3 -accuracy ->HUAWEI GT-5 or 6 works flawlessly with my iPhone 13 and 15. The GT5 is a good looking very functional watch with a long battery life. The GT5 Pro is on sale as the new model GT6 is being released.
r/smartwatch • Best non-Apple smartwatch for iPhone? ->HUAWEI GT-5 or 6 works flawlessly with my iPhone 13 and 15. The GT5 is a good looking very functional watch with a long battery life. The GT5 Pro is on sale as the new model GT6 is being released.
r/smartwatch • Best non-Apple smartwatch for iPhone? ->Are you in North America? If so, download the Optimity app, play a bunch of games until you can unlock the 20% off code. It should work on the 970 since it's been out for more than 2 months. I was thinking of the 970 myself, I think it's the perfect watch if you don't need the build and ruggedness of the Fenix series. Holding off only because I bought a Huawei GT5 Pro last year which is serving me well for the most part. I prefer the Garmin watches and ecosystem but maybe in another year when I get real tired of this watch.
r/GarminWatches • Which Garmin 965 or 970 ->Think I'm going to get a Venu 4 in 5 weeks when I can use my 20% Optimity code which I generated last year. Have a Huawei GT5 Pro now but I want the advanced Health metrics of the Venu 4. I like the yellow band as well with the silver bezel, will likely opt for that one. Originally, I wanted the Fenix 8 but the low speaker volume flaw soured my inclination to spend that amount of money on it. Then looked at the Forerunner 970 but it doesn't look like it'll have all of the advanced Health and Sleep features of the Venu 4. So I do think that the Venu 4 will be the best watch to suit my needs. Looks like the build quality is improved as well from the 3 which is a huge addition imo.
r/Garmin • Those who bought Venu 4, please brag about it~ ->Hey u/KosOrKaos ! I need a review of your watch. I bought a Huawei GT 5 Pro last year — a super stylish watch. Even though NFC payments aren't available in most countries (and other features), its design and premium style convinced me to purchase it. Now, my wife uses a Galaxy Watch 7 (paired with a Samsung phone), and its integration is amazing! On my side, the GT 5 Pro "doesn't integrate very well" with my Xiaomi 13. Here’s what I miss: \- \*\*DND Sync\*\*: Turning on Do Not Disturb on the watch should automatically enable it on my smartphone. \- \*\*Alarm Sync\*\*: If the phone alarm rings, I should be able to turn it off via the watch. \- \*\*App Store\*\*: I know Garmin has this feature. \- \*\*NFC Payment\*\*: Garmin also supports this. \- \*\*YouTube Music App\*\*: Again, Garmin provides this functionality. My question is: based on the examples above, how has your experience been in terms of managing phone-related actions directly from your watch? For instance, can you read and replay notifications (including voice), toggle settings, or interact with your phone seamlessly using your smartwatch? Same question to u/Redditdotlimo , as you're sharing your review. Thanks!
r/Garmin • Enduro 3 - two months in review ->Hi there. I bought the Watch 5 a week ago, coming from a 2018 Samsung Galaxy Watch with wearOS that still works perfectly. As for smartwatches, i mainly focus on design, screen and watchfaces. Sports tracking and health measurement is also important, but 3d party apps is almost useless to me. Having said that, i love the huawei watch 5 screen, design, OS interface, menus, navigation, etc. Health measurement is amazing, not only because the new x tap sensor, but because of the Huawei Heath app, which has excellent tracking. Also the watch itself is sleek, and georgeous. I have the titanium version. It only weighs 55gr, and its very comfortable to use all day, even while sleeping and exercising. Having said that... 3d app support is way worse than Wear OS or Tizen, of course. Google maps is not available, and notification management is also worse. You cannot view WhatsApp images or the whole conversation. Third party store is pathetic. You cannot browse it on the phone, you have to manually browse it on the watch, which is very cumbersome. A 650€ watch, which is supposed to be premium, shouldn't have such poor app gallery. And laat but not least... battery life has been EXTREMELY disappointing for me. Not disappointing, but EXTREMELY disappointing. Huawey claims 4 day on a regular use. Ive seen a few youtubers claiming 5 day usage (on normal mode. Not battery saving mode). I have always on DISABLED, autobrightness, im not using the gps, i dont receive that many notifications and im not using a particularly demanding watchface. Im only getting TWO days usage between charges, which is the same i was getting on my Galaxy watch, which is 7 years old, and has a fully-fledged OS and app store. I don't know, i like the watch overall, but i think it is too expensive for what it offers. Had i known about real battery life usage, i may have bought the oneplus watch 3.
r/HuaweiWatchGT • A Huawei Watch Guide for Beginners ->I get a full week from a cheap but accurate Hwawei. Their top models are claiming 2 weeks (GT5 Pro, I think). It's getting excellent reviews for cardio functions.
r/smartwatch • What's the best smart watch for battery life that isn't an Apple? ->I'll be honest, I don't think a smart watch is very useful for maps. I have one, a Huawei GT5 Pro, the maps are fantastic, the GPS is accurate, the heart rate monitor is exceptional. But it's just completely and pointlessly impractical to actually use for anything meaningful on the trails regarding the map, the screen is too small, it's difficult to use with gloves on and looking at a map on your wrist is less convenient than you might think. Not only that, but keeping the map in an "always on" state will drain the battery, even on a long battery life watch like the GT5 Pro, you're usually wanting to use the watch in "wake up" mode where if you look at it the screen comes up just like a phone, but that becomes impractical on the trails for real time usage. The real solution to this problem is actually a computer on your bike, where you can have a reasonably large screen to display information/map/gps, and then maybe using your smart watch to record your rides/data and occasionally glance at the heartrate/time/distance etc.
r/MTB • Best Smartwatch for MTB Navigation & Live Stats — Recommendations? ->Yes, wearos watches battery is terrible, in order to make it a little better they (manufacturers) have to do many tricks, and users have to turn all off. And coming from a huge battery endurance watch of course you notice. But you need to think what is what you want from a smartwatch. For battery life and health-sports tracking, keep the huawei For payment apps and other apps, and better notifications, go wearos. It's like that. I have some huawei watches as well as Samsung, honestly I'm hooked with huawei, I prefer the health and sports tracking, and huawei does a better job, I do love to have Google pay and notifications with images but that is still not possible in huawei. Current GT5/pro has improve the notification of huawei with a full keyboard, and the payment apps will come this year with third-party services like Curves (Europe only for the moment) And in the case of Samsung, you can complement your watch with the ring, and use the ring for sleep tracking while you charge the watch overnight, and that why you can have something similar to your experience with huawei.
r/GalaxyWatch • Battery life on this watch really sucks! ->The Huawei gt5 going for 100 pounds at curries...it's no brainer Superb tracking and battery It's 40 extra well worth the money
r/smartwatch • Best fitness watch on a budget? ->Huawei gt 5 or gt4 Has everything you need The gt 4 around 130 new
r/BeginnersRunning • Running Watch Suggestion ->Just so ppl know... I also had both gt4 and gt5... There's virtually the same in software and hardware. Ended up selling the 5
r/BeginnersRunning • Running Watch Suggestion ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
