Huawei watch gt5 41mm and Huawei watchfit 4 decent battery life and accurate HR sensors
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
Huawei gt 5 or gt4 Has everything you need The gt 4 around 130 new
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
Go with the Huawei, get the GT5 or GT6. Their health data monitoring and workout tracking are pretty good.
I can recommend the Huawei GT5 or GT5 Pro. Battery life and fitness are good. Smart notifications are very good. And they're also nice to wear.
I also had the GT5 and it‘s an awesome and very beautiful watch!
I would suggest giving the Huawei Watch GT5 a look, I guess the Pro has ECG as well. Price is very good for what the watch offers
No watch (except the Huawei D something) can measure blood pressure. I’m sorry to disappoint you but you would need a watch strap that can pump itself up. For the sleep stages, that’s not true. I‘ve had the GT5 and it does indeed measure sleep stages. If you want to have the best metrics overall, you would probably have to go with an Apple Watch and they don’t work with android. So your best bet would be either the Huawei I‘ve mentioned (if you want good software and design) or some Garmin (but imho, the software is outdated and very laggy), which has the most health features. But as mentioned, you can‘t measure blood pressure
Also take the Huawei Watch GT 5/6 into account. Beautiful watches!
Me too I have gt5 and came from fitbit and found the sleep tracker to record very similar in terms of sleep quality.
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
I have a Huawei Watch GT5 and I can tell you that the Huawei watches are solid when it comes to HR and sleep tracking. The Watch Fit 4 has been well reviewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWQW2KFoVX8 and would do well for you. That said Huawei doesn't really have much of a service center network here. These watches never need any servicing though. >Strength Training Accuracy BTW, no watch can track this. 😅
Petal Maps doesn't work in India. So, the navigation function while riding a bike is not there. I haven't been able to get Google maps to work. And it doesn't have the ECG function. But I can tell you one good thing, it can pair with a Polar H10. So, really high quality HR tracking is possible if you want it. It is very accurate about the time I spend sleeping. I don't think any device can measure sleep stages accurately though. It's a solid watch.
Using Huawei Watch Gt5 + Polar H10 The Watch GT5 gives reasonably accurate HR tracking throughout the day, decent resting heart rate and sleep duration metrics. During my conditioning sessions, I wear the Polar H10. It feeds very very accurate HR data to both the watch and polar beat on my phone. > recommendations for recovery No watch or consumer device can provide this. 😅
> I am conflicted between VS and H10. H10 is the gold standard for HR. But VS gives the advantage of sleep tracking if I use it with an app. You can use the H10 along with most watches/trackers. So pick a watch that does decent enough sleep tracking (and allows you to connect to external data sources) and use the H10 for your training sessions. There will be no gap in your training metrics. I have a similar setup. I use an Huawei Watch GT5 that has got solid HR tracking throughout the day. And at night, it does a surprisingly good job of measuring sleep time. But during my conditioning sessions or when I'm doing kettlebell snatches where I have to remove the watch, I wear the H10 and that feeds the HR data to the watch and the Polar app both at the same time.
I use a Huawei Watch Gt5 + Polar H10. 😁 The Watch gives me great HR metrics and sleep duration during most of the day. And the Polar H10 being ECG gives me very accurate HR metrics during my Conditioning sessions where I take off my watch. > track steps, calories burned, and daily stand and move goals BTW, in the list you have most consumer devices can only track steps somewhat accurately. Everything else is a hit or miss.
Well, the Apple watch is the only device that sane choice in the list you gave. 😅 Rings are horribly inaccurate for almost any metric. Watches are fine for measuring Heart Rate and Sleep Duration. Note that I mentioned "Heart Rate and Sleep Duration", they can't be used to monitor Heart Rate Variability, Sleep Quality or sleep stages. I like Huawei watches (I use a Watch GT5) because they're pretty accurate and cheap enough. But they might not work that well with iOS (I'm not sure of this and haven't seen enough reviews). If you do conditioning work, and your HR needs to be monitored accurately, your only option is the Polar H10/H9 . Apple Watch/Phone pairs very well with them. You can then train with the watch removed as well but still get detailed HR metrics.
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.
