Introduction
The HUAWEI Watch GT 5 41mm (HUW-BD-GT5-JANA-WHT-FB5I) arrived with a lot of hype, promising a sleek design, robust features, and impressive battery life. Having worn it daily for several weeks, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review, detailing its strengths and weaknesses.
Features
The GT5 41mm boasts a stunning 41mm AMOLED display with an always-on option. The lightweight design (35g) makes it comfortable for all-day wear, even during sleep. Navigation is intuitive, and the inclusion of features like seamless wrist-based navigation for running and cycling adds a significant advantage for fitness enthusiasts. The Emotional Wellbeing app, utilizing HUAWEI TruSense data, is a welcome addition for those focused on mental health. The inclusion of the Freebuds5i earbuds sweetens the deal significantly.
Performance
The battery life is a highlight. I consistently achieved over 5 days of typical use, exceeding the advertised ‘Typical’ battery life of 5 days. The GPS accuracy during runs and cycling sessions was reliable, providing accurate tracking and mapping. The responsiveness of the touchscreen was excellent throughout my testing period. The heart rate monitor was generally accurate compared to other devices. While the Emotional Wellbeing app is a positive feature, the accuracy of its sentiment analysis could be further refined.

Pros: Sleek design, lightweight, excellent battery life, accurate GPS, intuitive interface, included Freebuds5i earbuds, Emotional Wellbeing app.
Cons: The accuracy of the Emotional Wellbeing app could be improved, some may find the band material less durable than others, charging is via a proprietary cradle.
