- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- Unboxing the Honor Watch GS Pro with a full hands-on review of the hardware and software, including a tour of those new features. For 250 Euros, this is one of the best value premium smartwatches of 2020, boasting insane battery life, rugged design and in-depth fitness tracking. Here's all you need to know about the Honor Watch GS Pro, a perfect tracker for exercise fans and outdoor enthusiasts.
Despite a relatively budget-friendly asking price, this smartwatch boasts similar specs and tools to Huawei's more expensive wearables. You've got a gorgeous AMOLED screen, GPS support, stainless steel bezels, support for over 100 exercises and loads more.
You can't download fresh apps, but there's enough here to please any 'urban adventurers'. The Honor Watch GS Pro gives you full notifications support, plus call support thanks to the mic and speaker.
And with two weeks of battery life even with the always on display enabled, this is one of the best smartwatches from 2020 for longevity. Let me know what you think below, full review hopefully coming before too long!
I'm so confuuuusssseeedddd. Seriously. Honor, Ticwatch, Galaxy, Garmin. It is doing my head in.
I had the same issue 2 years ago when I bought my first smartwatch. Now I've kinda bought quite a few along with smart bands as no one watch has it all. For example the Galaxy Watch 3 I currently have is nice, but my MORE RUGGED looking cheaper GS Pro has better training metrics such as telling you your fitness is Improving etc or how long you need to recover fully. All depends what you want from a smart watch.

This watch has smashed the game. For half the price off those other companys, you know who I mean. Plus packed with features for everyone. Tks for the review.
Had the honor watch magic 2 which was awesome but i sent packing when i realized you can't reply to messages.. Such a basic function omitted which makes a massive difference.. Love your no nonsense approach to the english language.. You make me chuckle which is a skill in itself..
This will be my next smartwatch... I like Samsung but I don't like to charge the battery every night.
Definitely I will buy it.huawei deserves respect for the great products they have.
I got one few days ago. amazing in one word. Previous watches were Tickwatch Pro, Garmin vivoactive4, Huawei GT2e. This one beats them all. great price vs features. Only down side is the software side is bit lacking. all in all my daily drive
Hi there. I got on today. Not got a quick start guide and just wondered if I need to charge it before use pls?
I got one last week for $4. Not a fan of Huawei but the watch has been solid so far.
you forgot about the compass, it's a huge deal to have one for trekking and hiking
Yep, good shout
Did this run pdf file
@@suremeanssure__ yeah, you can also type an essay in Word if you desire to :-)
@@suremeanssure__ Yes word and excel as well.
Huge deal? Seriously? How is this better than a 1$ compass which any hiker would carry by default? Incredible how gimmicks like this sell.
Thinking of getting the g2e. I'm amazed these things have such good battery life when other brands last a day and that's your lot
The GT2 is better, as you get a speaker and mic too and does the same thing as the GT2e, whilst looking smart too
Yeah, those are great watches. The battery just keeps going
Other brands have actual smart watches with a heavy os and hell lot of functions and apps.
These watches made by Honor and Huawei are just like fitness bands in a watch form factor that's why these have good battery life.
@@adex618 Yes and they are better because you don't need that many functions and apps on watches anyway. Huawei is working on a full, heavy os smartwatch though.
@@dharambasi1928 yeah I don't think we need much special features from watches, phones are enough. Considering this fact, the price tag of the watches made by Huawei are really not justified.
I will be using the hiking mode when I go to the super market right after I park my car
throw in some darts if you want something really strenuous
Great summary - just ordered this watch from Amazon in Germarny for 200 Euros - Will now retire my Samsung Galaxy Watch with 5 days battery life.
does its touch lag??
with everything on including fitness apps for swimming, messages and more, minus gps, i got just a few hours under 22 days on a charge. More than happy with the battery life and the performance of this watch.
Have you recently bought this?
You have just started using them and swipes are already so slow (((
Seriously?
u are right, i figure it out in shop display also
Reminds me on my Amazfit T-Rex.
Great watch. Got it as an Amamazon Warehouse return for 120 quid. The damage? The cellophane was split. Result.
He's got the voice to be a news anchor.
I think that installing apps from the app store is overrated. I had both samsung watchs and wear os smartwatch and never found myself installing apps from the store. I rather have longer battery life.
Bro I had no idea you've been making videos for 11 years. Lol I went back and found your old channel.
Ha, aye, I did a few for Tech Radar back in the day, then loads for Recombu when I worked there. Watching some of those old ones now is a bit painful :D
Stress of everyday existence 🔥🔥🔥
lol
I appreciate the review! Do you have a preference between this and a T-Rex pro? I’m having app issues with the T-rex on iPhone. Didn’t know if this one is any better
Is this compatible with Samsung s22ultra please.. Great video by the way..
Underrated channel
Why thank you :)
Thanks for making videos like this. Your comedy is always spot on, and I like that you're one of the very few techtubers who makes videos about Smartwatches, it's a really important part of the tech space.
Keep doing cool stuff. Your channel is great :)
57/5000
Can you take LAP or SPLIT times during a running session?
51min ago... big fan of the channle!
It looks very juddery when compared with Apple and Samsung’s offerings.
Great channel! I just wonder what you do to all your described gadgets? Is there any chance I can get one? :-P
Can you come back to the point or place from your previous track later on (not the same day using route back), but let’s say for the next day running. Is it saved on the watch?
Can I just warn people I bought the Honor Magic watch 2 about four weeks ago I liked the features etc as I have an Apple phone and it worked well
With it all of a sudden it packed up after Four weeks I had to send it for repair via Huawei after two weeks it came back today stating it couldn’t be fixed due to Liquid contamination it’s been nowhere near liquid I even take it off to wash Huawei have been appalling no help whatsoever no support and didn’t really want to know lucky enough I bought it through Amazon who have refunded me !
Chipset A1 is the Best Honor Magic 2 have 20 days live just like watch...defenetly I looking for premium expensive device in the future!
Does this watch let you view any missed notifications during a workout? If you're jogging & miss a notification, can you see it without ending the workout?
Which one should I buy oppo watch or this watch
WOAH KAY DUDE! hahah had me in bits!
Good review bro, i never miss your videos. BTW, next oppo watch plz.....
Hello, in the fitness mode, the timer is available ? Thanks
Sadly , we have only a few limited Huawei/Honor quality watch faces on the app.There are more watch faces,hundreds,but the quality of them is not like a proper one,to justify the price we are paying for the products!
True
Can you help.
I really like the route back feature.
It seems that only the GT2 pro has it for this generation.
While the Honour watch 2 is missing it also.
Is this correct ?
is this watch running on Harmony OS and dose the watch support Nfc payments? Thank you
Hi there. I just got my Honor watch GS pro but cant find a quick start guide. Do I need to charge the watch before first use please?
Поздрав. Like your channel, your way for presentation. Lovley watch with respectable battery specs. As a GT2 owner, Moto gen1, xiaomi mi band 3, this is great offer. Mostly at the end with price.
Which application are you using to pair the device. I have watch Honor GS Pro and phone Huawei P40 lite. I need application for recording track and GPS position (hiking, runing. etc.) is there any others apps than Healt?
Can you turn the sound “start workout” off
You do a damn good job at these unboxing of tech, I just have to watch haha. What's the best cheapest smart watch that you can get? Doesn't have to have amazing features.
The cheapest I've tested is the Realme Watch, that one was £50 but a bit shonky! The Ticwatches are usually good value, and I'm hoping to try the Honor Watch ES v soon, that one's just £99
I like all your comments except you do not tell about the water resistance part of the watches
What is the name of the app for installing it, please.
I love this HBO style of tech review. ;-)
Great review Chris. I bought this watch got a great price. I have it paired to my Poco f2 pro. There are 2 functions that are not available on the watch. OneHop Feature and the remote shutter. I did contact Honor and they advised it was due to the fact i was not using Huawei phone. It's not a deal changer just letting you know, maybe you can try on other phones see if you get same issue.
Hi there. Do I need to charge the watch before first use pls?
Can use a 100W pd unit to charge at usb 18W QC fastcharge output? Or a p30 pro phone hauwei QCharge 5V=2V adapter. Or is just safer to charge via laptop?
i have two questions.:
1. can apps be downloaded on the watch?
2. can you pick calls on the watch and does it has an output speaker?
1. No
2. Yes
I cant go back to my homescreen.. my pairing failed now iam stuck with my watch when I restart my watch it shows language restart about..honor gs pro 328..reply
Hey thanks for the nice review. What’s your favorite? Samsung galaxy watch 3 vs this one vs apple watch 6?
It depends all three are different
Hi Please, could you please to help me? How to stop screensaver for this smart watch GS Pro.
Do we need to carry our smart phone also while going for runs etc for the GPS to sync with health app ?
No, you dont have to carry your phone
good long time battery 25 days... i got one of that..and looks good and longer battery lige..
Looks cool but I thought Honor would be reasonably priced... If they release a more basic model I'd be interested.
They've also launched the Honor Watch ES, which I'm hoping to cover soon - that one's 99 Euros so much better for anyone who doesn't need the super premium stuff and the rugged design
@@TechSpurt cool I'll check that out thanks. Birthday next month so could be me pressie 😁
I was sold until you mentioned Huawei
Amazing reviews keep it up
Does it have tennis tracking mode?.thanks
Can u lock screen when you training with always on display function?
Hello and thank you for this video! I have this watch for almost 2 years that I had connected to a Samsung S8 Smartphone, and I just changed Tel for the S23. So I was able to redo a pairing of this watch with my new Tel Samsung S23 and the Huawei Health App that "I downloaded via the Gallery Store HUAWEI AppGallery. But, after resetting the watch, I can no longer find how deactivate the Tel option to no longer receive calls via the watch as well as to cancel the English Voice which speaks while I do my Jogging because I do not want to use this watch only for Sport and not to receive call nor hear the English voice How to do please ??? Thank you very much in advance for your help ...
Do you know if GPS and H.R is accurate ?
Spent a lot of time talking about fitness features and not enough time about notifications and music etc... Things that make the watch smart
What is the best site for this watch ? help guys :D

Can you use what's app with this watch? Thanks
How do you turn on airplane mode, or turn off bluetooth ?
Could you please tell me sir how can I pit my photo in this watch?? I mean watch face from the huawei health what can I do ??
Hello. Do you have a problem running 3rd party applications? I did not have any problems with applications such as Calculator, but I am having problems even though I install applications such as the news application, the navigation application, on both the watch and the phone, does anyone know?
Why can’t I find anywhere what the display is made of? Gorilla glass I assume since I’m sure if it’s sapphire, they wouldn’t be shy to advertise it.
Gorilla Glass 5
What about Interval Timer... Does it have it or support it trough app? Like for HIIT workout...
Yes.
I want to buy one but in ebay they have it in chinese version what does that Mean can i use it in EU?
accurate swimming heart rate and laps?
Can I reply to the notifications from this watch itself?
You can only answer phone and read notifications
@@sikoraadam ok Thankyou :)
Why no one checks the microphone and the speaker? Unacceptable.
It's surprisingly good. At least for a watch.
Honor GS pro or the gt2 pro ?
Go for Gs pro
Both have huge different price 🙄
Where do they manufacture this watch
Hopefully this watch come with better gps receiver
Nice watch face ever. 😊
Does this auto detect your exercises.
4 GB of internal memory , muxt be a great watch !

Could we know the diameter size? I cannot find it anywhere.

46.7mm*46.7mm*11.4mm
@@decampcathy4826 thank you!
It's funny how people asking such questions here while google it would take them way less time. People are strange 🤔
Fabulous reviews, I quote like that smart watch.. Awesome comedy reference in regards to Darts 😁
Ha cheers, I'll have to get myself down the pub and test out that 'fitness tracking'
@@TechSpurt Dude, you're an elite athlete!
Will honor watch 2 and Huawei gt 2 get some of those functions (like weather warning) in updates?
Lets hoping for that. Haha
Exactly the same question I really want the new weather app with the weekly forecast sunrise moon tide etc. İt's amazing
Whats the song at the end is nice?
I live in United States where can I buy it
eBay
can you lock the screen?
So no spotify and strava?
Is it compatible with IOS ?
Does it have VO2 max?
I don't have the watch faces option on mine or that discovery tab. Is this a region specific thing?
I think you are using an iPhone with the watch.
@@puca71 nope. Samsung. I figured it out
@@jaybophoto Would you kindly explain how? I've been trying to get the watch face option but I can't seem to. I'm in Canada. Thank you.
Do you get this on contract
