PK0901 Huawei Watch Band Review: Stylish Leather Strap for GT Series
Introduction
For weeks, I’ve been testing the PK0901 leather watch band, designed for various Huawei smartwatch models, including the GT 3 Pro, GT2 Pro, GT3 46mm, GT 4, Watch 4, GT2e 46mm, GT2 46mm, and Watch 2 Classic. My goal was to assess its comfort, durability, ease of use, and overall value. This review will delve into my experience with the band, offering a balanced perspective.
Features
The PK0901 boasts a polished leather design, promising style and comfort. The description highlights top cowhide leather, handmade hemming, and exquisite stitching for enhanced durability. A key selling point is the quick-release mechanism, eliminating the need for tools during installation or replacement. The band is also touted as skin-friendly, sweat-absorbent, and non-slip.

Performance
The leather is indeed soft and supple, as advertised. I found the band comfortable to wear even during extended periods, and it didn’t irritate my skin. The quick-release pins worked flawlessly; swapping the band took mere seconds. The stitching seems robust, showing no signs of wear after several weeks of use, including workouts and daily activities. The band’s clasp secured my watch firmly, preventing accidental detachment.
However, I did notice a slight darkening of the leather around the clasp after a few weeks of wear, which is to be expected with any leather product. Also, while the band is marketed as sweat-absorbent, I did experience some minor perspiration build-up during intense workouts. This was manageable, but not entirely eliminated as promised.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Comfortable leather, stylish design, easy installation (quick release), durable stitching, secure clasp.
- Cons: Minor leather darkening over time, slight sweat build-up during intense workouts.
Final Verdict
The PK0901 watch band offers a compelling combination of style, comfort, and ease of use. While the minor drawbacks related to leather darkening and sweat retention are present, they are not significant enough to overshadow the overall positive experience. For those seeking a stylish and comfortable leather replacement band for their compatible Huawei smartwatch, the PK0901 is a solid choice.
I would recommend this band to anyone looking for an upgrade or replacement strap. The convenience of the quick-release system alone makes it worthwhile.
