Would you consider the Huawei GT 4 Steel Edition? Let me know if you'd consider swapping out Apple and Pixel Watch Smarts for more classical styling and fantastic battery life.
People are very hyped these days. Why would you want to listen to music, chat, or call with a watch? Is that cool? Do I belong? When I receive a message or a call, I look at the watch and then at my phone if I have time. This watch is the best on the market, even though it has no Google, these watches simply look beautiful.
I just switched from Samsung Watch 5 to Huawei Watch GT 4, I moved because the battery life is decreasing day by day, from what used to be 2 days to just 1 day and 2 hours. Moreover, the sports feature on Samsung Watch is also not good. I am satisfied with this Huawei Watch GT 4.
Same thing with my galaxy active. Ive never use the smartwatch features of the galaxy watch. What huawei offers is all I need. And its like Im wearing a real watch not a smart toy 😂
Just upgraded to the GT 4 and I love it. Had the original GT which didn't have a scratch on it after being on the wrist for 4 plus years of a mechanic. Fantastic tech. Shame about not being able to use it for contact less payments though.
Love seeing the variety of content on the channel these days! I've got a Garmin Vivoactive 3 and the battery has degraded over time, so I definitely want my next watch to have long life battery. The Huawei watch looks really nice - makes it feel like it's not an obvious health-tracking device.
I am using Huawei watch GT2 pro - stunning looking watch! and i am thinking if it makes sense to upgrade to GT3 pro or GT4 pro (I hope they will be announced soon).
Yeah, totally agree, the Pro line looks so good, and the GT2 Pro in particular is stunning. Hopefully I'll get hands-on time with the next Pro when it's announced. Cheers for the comment! Basil
How is the brightness level in direct sunlight, of the GT4 watch? I was actually thinking of buying the new samsung watch 7, but since i also preffer good battery life over performance, i am probably gonna buy the huawei. I am just not sure how big is the performance difference is between the watch 7 and GT4.
My use case is fitness tracking , with heart rate accuracy my chief criteria. Smartwatch functionality is not a big deal for me, as I soon found out when owning my very first smartwatch, the Samsung Galaxy Gear S2. After the novelty wore off from downloading countless apps to my S2, I found myself not using 99% of them ! Messing around with apps is what I have a lovely phone or tablet for, where you got a proper screen, rather than squinting at your wrist. This is why I’ve owned 3 Fitbits (which each only lasted 1 year - planned obsolescence by Fitbit to increase sales no doubt), 2 Garmins, and now 2 Huawei watches. I previously was using my GT Runner but fell in love with my stainless steel / brown leather GT4, which is a perfect companion for gyming, and I swap out watch bands according to the occasion. When dressed up with a stainless steel band, it looks the business ! Apart from the looks, beautiful screen and countless free watch faces, I have to say Huawei is doing some serious magic with their battery life. I’m getting 10 days, including gym workouts.
Ive been looking at smart watches for months! i currently have the first gen galaxy watch, and if i am careful i can get 3 days out of a charge, but really want one with a good battery, i was stuck between this, the Garmin Venu 2 plus, Amazfit GTR 4 and the Ticwatch Pro 5 (but the lack of updates put me off this one), but i think the Huawei has pipped the others to the post.
Does it talk to your smart phone at all? Will it show calendar appointments, text messages, etc? Could you feasibly control your music player with it? Or are there lots of problems with that stuff because it's not on android? Is it more of a standalone thing?
Yes, you can receive notifications and see calendar appointments through the calendar app. It also controls your music player. I’ve been using it with the Xperia 5 V and Galaxy Z Flip 5 with no issues.
That's fair. I didn't find it too cumbersome and only had to do it every couple of weeks. Or you could the charger that it ships with. No removal needed. But I appreciate your point if you want one wireless charger to rule them all.
I bought it after five days ive returned it. Well there is some features are missings, no NFC features were you can pay directly from it. And Google store hard to download apps. Nice Built and accurate Health apps and long life battery. Only the NFC
Hi, is there a way to turn off completely all the health tracking features on this watch? That would be a deciding factor for me. I've always just wanted a good looking and functioning digital watch, i don't care much for health tracking.
The motion sensor is quite imprecise. I stand still and move my hand, he takes steps. I scratch my head, he counts the steps, I wash my hands, he counts the steps... There were no such problems on the gt3 model that I had before this one.
Hi Mick. No, so far the heart rate sensor has been very accurate compared to my Apple, Garmin, and Samsung watches. The sleep tracking scores are a little generous, but then again, a number is relatively subjective. Almost a full week in and the watch looks set to be my main device until Huawei asks for it back. - Basil
@@tech_edit Okay, thanks for your reply. I've had 2 GT3 Pro's and both have sudden drops to lower than 40bpm at least 6 times a day, I've tried different wrists and positions and still the same.
Yes. As soon as you turn Bluetooth back on on your phone, it automatically reconnects. I haven't had any issues with BT connection dropping off while it's been paired with my Z Flip 5, generally, v impressed.
Yes, it's better GT3 PRO, because GT 4 has new sensor andupgradede software HarmonyOS 4. GT4 can track ECG automatically with Arrhythmia detection, user no need scan ECG manually again.
Personally I would get a classic watch and an oura ring. There is absolutely no point having a device that’s just looks and lacks accuracy in its function.
Would you consider the Huawei GT 4 Steel Edition?
Let me know if you'd consider swapping out Apple and Pixel Watch Smarts for more classical styling and fantastic battery life.
How can I get the Steel edition?? It's not showing in the huawei website!!!
Yeah, please can you drop the link I wanna buy it asap
This is the only purchase link I have and it says available in one to two months amzn.to/3EUDP8d. I’ve put the question to Huawei.
@@tech_edityou're the best, thank you for the quick reply, cheers ^.^
@@tech_edit hi what is the name of the beautiful dial ?

What you can't do with gt4 but we possibly with the Samsung? I wanna know the impact of no Google store
No Google pay... Or any pay.. and that kinda is a big thing, isnt it?

Hi! Nice video! Does the watchface seen at 2:14 have its own AOD or you have to use a defautl one? Thanks!

I've had the GT3 for about 18mths. Brilliant. I charge mine every 10 days (when it'll be at about 15-20%) Not upgrading yet but will def get another.
Same here, I've been very happy with my 46mm GT3
I'll have to agree with you on how beautiful and eye catching this watch looks Basil.
Happy to see a wearable review from you again.
Just ordered this watch. Have the GT 2 and its still working great, but I like the style of this version more! Good video!

@@tech_edit fingers crossed you can take gt4 pro for a review!
Hi.
Thanks for the presentation - good guidance.
Besides, what's that phone type and model?
I m in middle of choosing between this garmin venu 3 or xiaomi what u suggest?

just take huawei and you will never be dissappointed
GT4 all the way. The most accurate from the ones you mentioned. Don't touch Amazfit, they are very inaccurate.
Whats the difference between Steel edition and Brown leather edition ?
Is it only the strap color ?

@@tech_edit Interesting. Thanks, Basil. I am quite interested in this watch now.
ive bought the GT4 only issue is removing the steel strap to enable charging
That's fair. I didn't find it too cumbersome and only had to do it every couple of weeks. Or you could the charger that it ships with. No removal needed. But I appreciate your point if you want one wireless charger to rule them all.
I have the black version with custom leather strap but that steel version is gorgeous.

Up to 2 weeks of battery life, that's very interesting.
The motion sensor is quite imprecise. I stand still and move my hand, he takes steps. I scratch my head, he counts the steps, I wash my hands, he counts the steps... There were no such problems on the gt3 model that I had before this one.
Can I ask, did you notice at any time that the heart rate reading suddenly dropped very low, for example 37bpm?
Hi Mick. No, so far the heart rate sensor has been very accurate compared to my Apple, Garmin, and Samsung watches. The sleep tracking scores are a little generous, but then again, a number is relatively subjective.

having an Apple watch 7 and galaxy watch 5 pro this gt 4 looks is on another level 😍
Samsung watch 6 reverse
Charges mines doing it now! Im interested in one these but how well
Does it sync with Samsung phones
It syncs with the Huawei Health app available for Android. Not Samsung Health though.
Does it have sapphire crystal?
Yes
Is the glass of Huawei GT4 watch scratch free?
Auto Connection After Bluetooth Disconnected?
Yes. As soon as you turn Bluetooth back on on your phone, it automatically reconnects. I haven't had any issues with BT connection dropping off while it's been paired with my Z Flip 5, generally, v impressed.
Yes
Thank You Sir@@tech_edit
Did they launched gt 4 pro watch?
Not t yet, the Pro usually launches a bit later, though this Steel Edition looks like a Pro.
Maybe around April next year.
Cant wait that long so I got the Watch 4 pro.
is this better than gt 3 pro? i need your helppp broo:((
Yes, it's better GT3 PRO, because GT 4 has new sensor andupgradede software HarmonyOS 4. GT4 can track ECG automatically with Arrhythmia detection, user no need scan ECG manually again.
@@sahabatyorofun6552 The gt 4 can't do ECG at all because it doesn't have the hardware. The GT3 Pro can do more in this and the vascular wall test.
If it had google support and pay option, it would be a no brainer.
at 6:31 what is that watch face?
That's the always-on display for one of the default watch faces.
I also wonder which dial this is with the yellow seconds. wiser ?
Great thanks so much
Does it have 'health glance'?
Do you mean rings that illustrate your steps, standing time and active time? If so, yes it does.
You mean the one Button click to Check All your health data? As far as i know, only the 4 Pro has these Feature Till now.
No, it does not. Nor does it ECG.
Personally I would get a classic watch and an oura ring. There is absolutely no point having a device that’s just looks and lacks accuracy in its function.
Does it come with e-sim?
Is it made out of titanium material
#Good presentation Boss
cool
I Have the GT3 pro and watch 4 pro.
