HUAWEIWATCH GT 4 Smart Watch for men women - Up to 2 Weeks Battery Life Fitness Tracker - Compatible with Android & iOS - Health Monitoring with Pulse Wave Arrhythmia Analysis - GPS Integrated -Green

I have purchased the new Huawei GT4 watch after sending back my Garmin which was pitiful.This watch which is less than half the price of the Garmin, but twice the watch.The technology in the Huawei GT5 leaves both Apple and Garmin top spec watches at the starting post and at £99 i have to say, its embarrassing...The build quality of the GT4 far outweighs the Apple and Garmin Watches and accuracy of the GT4 is pretty scary, considering its price at £99.00Here's my findings so far,(My own personal experience as a Garmin enthusiast, having purchased Garmin products since 1990s)I am NOT biased and this is my personal opinion.I have had Garmin Speed detectors since 1990 and currently have a Garmin Dashcam. These are outstanding pieces of equipment.I know people will say the Vivo 5 is a budget watch at £229 but the Huawei GT4 is even more budget at £99 so why have they developed a watch far superior, for less than half the price?This review is regarding my recent Garmin Watch Purchase (sent back).***Garmin Vivo 5 )£229) VS Huawei GT4 (£99).***Sleep Data-Huawei GT4- Perfect sleep data with the Huawei GT4, and it knows when I'm asleep and when i awaken, automatically, unlike the Garmin, where you have to log it in the watch or app, which is stupid, as who goes to bed at exactly the same time every day? I have not in 60 years!The Vivoactive 5- The sleep data is wildly inaccurate. In fact you have to go to bed and get up at the same time and even then the data is totally inaccurate.It recorded me as asleep for two hours while i was watching tv!Swimming Data-Also, lengths in swimming technology in Garmin is twenty years behind times and totally misleading.I physically counted sixty lengths and the Garmin read 74 lengths. Way, way out.While the swimming app on the Huawei GT4 reads 60 lengths to my, physically counted 60 lengths, over seven days.Also, the Garmin only shows two pieces of data while swimming and if you have to go around people, expect another five to ten lengths added at the end.The Huawei shows all data simultaneously on the screen while swimming, the garmin does not even show the time and if you come off the screen its a nightmare to go back on, trust me!Aesthetics-The feel of my garmin was cheap. More like a £10 item out of a gift shop in Spain or maybe a duty free shop. (sorry folks, that's how it felt to me)The Huawei is far, far more advanced than the Vivoactive 5 and aesthetically, in comparison it is like a Rolex. Even the strap on the Garmin felt cheap and plasticky, whereas the GT4 is stitched and substantial.Durability-The garmin has an open port for the charger and this concerned me in the pool. If you research it, some people are afraid to use them in the poolThe Huawei is wirelessly charged (wireless charger in the box), so completely sealed.TechnologyThe Huawei has voice prompts too and you can make and answer calls through the watch with exceptional clarity.Great too, to be able to listen to your current data, without having to look at the watch (all in spoken voice, not beeps)..I have a Garmin Dashcam and it's totally amazing but the Garmin watches are a Fad, in my opinion.People are buying them because of the name, but no one is testing the accuracy (have you)?I am so glad i did, and within the return date.I think alot of people are supporting Garmin for the name, and that i get, as i have always valued them as top value and technology, but this watch was a huge huge let down.The Vivoactive 5 cost me £229The GT4 cost me £99 with a two year warranty.It looks and feels like a proper, value for money substantial watch too!If you dont believe me, hold a vivo 5 in one hand and a Huawei GT4 in the other.Its like comparing a Fiat with a Ferrari.

Bought this to replace an old Samsung Gear S3 after Samsung stopped supporting it with updates. I was sad to see the Gear go as it had served me well.Having said that, I love this new Huawei watch. I had never considered them as a brand but took a chance after doing some research. The things I love most about it are:- It's a good looking watch. The face of watch is big yet sleek, and the number dial on the outside frames the screen beautifully (in my humble opinion.) The big watch face also makes it easy to read.- The watch settings seem easy to navigate. I haven't had much trouble finding what I need.- The battery life is great. This watch arrived 10 days ago. I started using it on day one, and it's still at 40% charge. Admittedly I don't try and use all the bells and whistles, so other users may see it drain more quickly depending on usage. But even if it did, I'm haply because my Samsung needed to be charged sometimes twice a day.- Functionally, it's what I need: it tells time, tracks steps, vibrates when someone is calling, and seems to be good quality from a reputable brand.Tldr: Looks good, good battery life, good quality and provides key functions I want.I will definitely be wearing this until they stop supporting it. Id recommend this for anyone who wants a smart watch that just kind of does the basic things you want a smart watch to do.

I've owned quite a few smart watches, a couple of apple and around 5 varying android watches and this one is by far the best. The look of it is perfect it can be used with a classy metal strap or a variety of sports or leather straps and always looks good.The battery on this thing is amazing, it lasts around 10 -12 days, no other smart watch I've had comes closeThe storage for watch faces is brilliant, I absolutely hate on other watches when you have 1-5 spaces for installed watches, with this there is waaaaay more than you need and they install quickly as well.The health and sports functions on this watch are phenomenal, by far the best I've ever ownedOnr minor downside is it doesn't have NFC card payments, but I can honestly say I don't care much for that. For you it might matter so keep that in mind.

I’ve had a while with this watch & time to compare it side by side with Apple Watch SE 2nd gen.All watches are poor at sleep, certainly the type of sleep if not duration. My previous Huawei gt2e was very good on duration, naps & short wake times. This one is not as accurate. It told me I slept, while in reality I had woken and propped myself in bed on my phone. However it’s very newly released so software updates will come.It has been used on several walks & exercise in conjunction with the Apple SE. Both give almost identical results on all metrics. Given the health data too, I’d conclude Huawei are only fractionally less accurate than Apple. But with incredibly battery life. All health data on, GPS used, weather on & its giving at least 10 days before reaching 20% battery.It’s light, very strong feeling, beautiful bright screen and very comfortable to wear & sleep in. I don’t need apps & internet draining my battery, I have a phone. I need health & exercise tracking accuracy, and good battery.I think it’s nearly perfect for those looking for good build, good looks, accurate tracking, sleek modern UI & excellent battery stamina. The app is on iOS so Apple deems it safe & secure. It’s clear, user friendly and information rich. A vast collection of free watch faces are available too.I like both watches but Apple’s battery life is woeful & charging so often is a chore. Especially when you get so long & speedy recharging with Huawei.EditAn update has improved the sleep tracking & it’s now very accurate.
