"especially because of the battery life. ... The mouse I had right before this was the steelseries super light one, that was an every other day charge at minimum. Whereas this one is like once a week at most - and I work from home and game all night."
"offers significantly better battery life ... insane battery life"
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"Su Huawei mi segnava anche fino a 2 ore di sonno profondo."

"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."
"The Soundcore VR P10 I had would always die during my longer sessions. ... I think the P10s were rated for 5 hours but would almost never reach 5 hours."
"they would no longer hold a charge"

"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."
"Main issue is no maps."
"the problem with the maps is that there aren't any. ... The breadcrumb think can work ok in the city, especially if you have a backup device, and not for cycling. Super hard on hiking trails that tend to have forks as opposed to really distinct, right-angle intersections."

"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."
"not being able to check which interval you're on ... no count down or notifications when an interval is ending/starting"
"I missed that ... tap to pay"

"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."
"it does not have google play store or third-party apps so if you’re into installing spotify or messaging apps on your watch, this ain’t it."
"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."

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 ->I have in the past but now I use a dedicated bike computer. There are some well within your budget that have maps and would be way better than trying to navigate using a small watch screen. There are a couple of Magene computers you can get on AliExpress that are highly rated for the $$. If you are really committed to having a watch, there are a lot of Garmin competitors that would work. I'm thinking Amazfit Trex (or one of the many other watches in the range), Huawei GT etc. off the top of my head.
r/cycling • smartwatch for a cyclist who forgets to charge stuff ->Sleep tracking is really good in gt5 pro
r/HuaweiWatchGT • Just got the GT 6 Pro. Any reviews? ->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? ->If you're on iPhone, the Huawei watch can sync with your Apple Health and Fitness apps via their Huawei Health App. Strava works too. When I record my running sessions via the Huawei Health app, it also gets recorded in Strava. I have the GT5 and all my steps, sleeping stats, and others sync.
r/PHRunners • Help me get my first fitness watch! ->Huawei watches are better looking, better sensors and week long battery life. They take Apple to school.
r/smartwatch • Long-time Apple Watch user looking for a smartwatch with real battery life and accurate sensors ->Me too I have gt5 and came from fitbit and found the sleep tracker to record very similar in terms of sleep quality.
r/HuaweiWatchGT • Just got the GT 6 Pro. Any reviews? ->What are you trying to measure?? If it is calories burnt, every tracker is terrible. If you're trying to track sleep, all trackers are terrible for reporting, but will give you a time period when you slept. If it is heart rate tracking, check out reviews on Thequantifiedscientist like the other redditor mentioned. Pick a good watch that you like. The best watches track HR well until 150-160bpm after which they start under counting. If you can get a watch that pairs with a polar H10, That'd be perfect for tracking HR even upto 200bpm. ------------ I use a Huawei Watch GT5. Got it off Amazon for 24K I think. HR is great and sleep is reasonably okay, and pairs with the H10 for my conditioning and cardio sessions
r/Fitness_India • The best fitness tracker/watch on the market? ->Garmin Forerunner 55 is a basic running watch with an older chip. It doesn’t offer other lifestyle tracking features or smart capabilities. If you care for purely running metrics, maybe worth to get it. But personally, other than having a Garmin on your arm, the 55 doesn’t really offer a lot. For a Garmin, I’d probably go for models 165 up. But if you’re looking to use not just for running but for other sports as well, and have some lifestyle and smart features, there are better options like Huawei Fit 3 and the other options you provided. Huawei GT5 also has premium features for a higher price point.
r/PHRunners • Help me get my first fitness watch! ->GT Pro series is essentially a "sports/fitness" watch. Premium materials, absurdly good battery life (like, 20 days), but it doesn't run a full smartwatch OS. You can take phone calls, see notifications and use basic maps, control your phones media and all your fitness tracking, but the "apps" you download are basically nothing. Needs to be tethered to a phone to work. The "Watch" series is a "proper" standalone smartwatch, in that it has it's own WiFi and eSIM support, and you can run "apps", although given it's HarmonyOS there's not a huge ecosystem in the west. Much bulkier, lesser battery life. I personally prefer the GT series as they're slimmer, and you can literally just leave it on your wrist for weeks at a time without worrying (and get proper sleep tracking), and I can live without the smartwatch features. My basic needs and notifications, call control, music control. GT Series does it fine. Ultimate series is basically a cracked up GT watch with absurd materials.
r/Huawei • Huawei Watch 5, GT6 Pro or Ultimate 2? What are the differences? ->Not sure if the watch will sync to Strava (it might, but I don't use strava). Last I checked, Maps on the GT series requires you to set destinations on your phone, but once that's running it'll stream everything over. GPS tracking is perfectly fine, if you just want the tracking data and not to actually use maps for navigation. 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. Huawei Watch can stream, but IDK any streaming apps for it. Ultimate series exists for rich people or scuba divers really. If I had the money to waste I'd buy one, but not for any specific feature 😅
