Terrific video. I was hoping to find a video that showed the band coming off the silver version - thanks for swapping it with the black band - that was enough to make me buy it. Cheers from Canada :)
I have had a titanium Huawei GT3 for over two year. I am very happy with it. I bought as a replacement for my cycling computer, it find the GPS as soon as I leave home. The software works very smoothly and it uploads my cycling data immediately I finish cycling. I have also used it for sea swimming and have recorded regular one kilometer swims. The battery life is about two weeks, a considerable better the my wife’s Apple Watch which need charging every couple of days. I highly recommend the Huawei GT3 series for general use and active sports.
One of the best reviews ive seen, i want the stainless steel one, but dont like those sort of straps, because they pull my arm hairs out, so nice to see how easy it is to change the strap.
Why do you want the stainless steel one if they don't like the straps? Aren't they like 1.5 times more expensive? It is almost identical to the silver one except for the matte finish and slightly bulkier lugs. Definitely not worth paying a higher price just to go ahead and swap the strap.
I still love my Huawei GT 2 Pro. No need to upgrade. 3 Years of daily wear and it still looks new. Not a scratch, but it's a bit generous in the step count.. Little support has been given to it by Huawei is the downside.
Great video. Thanks. Just ordered one of these, now that my Samsung S3 Classic is no longer supported. While not top of the range, this GT4 is more feature rich than the Samsung, and looks pretty stylish too (to my eyes at least).
Thanks for the video. It is absolutely an amazing watch, especially when it comes to battery life. I just wish it could take my blood pressure like much less expensive watches. I am very happy with my watch!
I wish the NFC could work in Europe.From what I read,it's only available in Asia.I bought it with discount,about 170 euros.In that price,there's no competition.Previously I had for 2 years the GT 3 Pro, but I wanted a more sport look a like watch.I don't regret,the lack of ECG and sapphire glass/titatanium built.
So there is "NFC" feature in it , right ? I really want to know because In my country (KSA) we haven't got "google wallet" or "samsung pay" yet, so I'm trying to know if this watch has the "NFC" feature so I can buy it before they launch "samsung pay" or "google wallet" here in my country. I believe that If they launched "google wallet" , then hwauei will do some updates on the watch so we can use "google wallet".
Great review . I have a question. I've just got watch gt3 pro but not open the box. should I return it and buy gt4 or use gt3 pro ? which one is better for you ? is there any difference that make sense ? thank you
Huawei is doing it big with this one. I love the design change. Most companies are just too afraaid to try new things and most of us will appreciate the risk and let's be honest dive on the risk as well. Huawei can get my money! Cheers brother.
Huawei has good hardware, but they have had the same software features for years. I need better features. Otherwise, I'm better off with the Huwaei Watch Fit as the difference is minimal.
If we can only have Spotify, youtube music, google messages and google maps on this. It doesn't need to run wear OS, just have those apps available in Huawei watches would be great but we all know that it is impossible today.
If they opened up the operating system to allow homebrew devs to create apps I reckon something could happen. Watch 3, Watch 4 Harmony OS let's users upload APKs that work!
Just purchased huawei watch gt 4 online..can't wait for it to arrive..was using a galaxy watch 4 unfortunately it died when i was swimming in the pool and the battery life sucks..
@alexlazo1828 but it does have a pulse wave arrhythmia analysis feature which helps me monitor about my heart skipping beats.which is very useful for me
@@WhatGear Isn't that what he says? Because you can only use apps that are standard in the Huawei Health app. The app gallery app on the phone is then useless.
Great video… if I understand correctly, the GT series is like the little brother of the not GT… What watchface is shown in the tumbnail? i really like it 😊
Hi, when the GT4 watch is not connected to the phone and I get a notification, on subsequent pairing I don't get this notification or a missed call. Any chance this can be fixed?
Thanks for the video. You mentioned body glucose monitoring. Is that upgrade likely to be rolled out via a software upgrade to the GT4 or more likely to be introduced with future versions of the GT series? Thanks.
I wonder if I could get some help as iv been going round and round in circles trying to find the answer to. At 6:35 in the video we can see the everyday heart-rate screen on the watch and it shows 150 BPM on the right side,on my new GT4 and my previous gt3 and gt3 SE my heart-rate would never go above 150 on the watch (but it was 178 on chest strap) can someone tell me why this would happen,it is definitely no coincidence as it happens on 3 different model of watches and I never had this issue on my older gt2 ..And yes I wear the watch correctly and have no obstructions between watch and skin Iv also reboot and factory reset many times.If someone could help me I would be hugely grateful because of this reason I sold my both gt3 models and I really don't want the same problem with my GT4 as I really like it a lot ...HELP 😩
I do have one question, i have a first gen Samsung watch, and looking at upgrading to the Huawei GT 4 around christmas time, will most of the stuff work on a samsung phone, i know its android compatible, but some manufacturers lock things down when not used with their phones, and while i like Huawei phones, they are a pain to get in the UK
I have the GT Runner paired to my GalaxyS20FE. I don’t really use much of the smart functionality as I am sports-focused. But it works fine with the phone, no problems seen. I think the one thing that doesn’t work on my Samsung is the voice assistant (called Celia or something) which I think only works with a Huawei phone. Heart rate accuracy and battery life endurance are my non-negotiables. I think Samsung watches are better I.t.o. Smart functionality, but my old GalaxyGear S2 watch (and all its successors) seem to have shockingly bad battery life. I’m getting 9 to 10 days of battery life including gym workouts, constant heart rate monitoring and SpO2 turned on (but I don’t use GPS). So it works really well in my use case. You will find it has a very large selection of watch faces, but of course its App Store cannot compete with that of the Google system. Which is fine for me as I’m trying to de-Google my life ; )
Congrats on the review! One question: at 6:43, you mentioned that it's possible to connect the watch to third-party devices. Is it possible to connect it to a computer using Bluetooth or a computerized spinning bike? I'm interested in connecting to the Zwift app... Tks
How does it track Calorie intake? Can it somehow tell what you've consumed from wearing it, or do you have to manually input your food intake (like on MyFitnessPal?)
from what i've seen from other reviews, u can either manually input it, or by taking a photo of ur food and if its recognised it'll list the calories etc and do the math for u
Lors d'une séance de marche GPS activé (batterie chargée à 100%, fonctions connectées désactivées), quelle est la durée maximale que peut supporter la batterie pour cette séance ? 4h ? 8h ? 12h ? C'est une vraie question. Je ne trouve pas la réponse sur le net.

Please tell the positive of having grey stainless steel. Since I've accidentally prebook that colour instead of green one. And it was non-refundable in my country. 😢
I am just curious how did you get soccer (football) sport mode and others. I have only 20 sport modes and updated watch gt4. ( bought in UK from Currys) Couldn't find it anywhere, neither in the watch or in the health app on phone.
press on the upper button, then on the orange running man app. Then scroll down to the second last menu iten: It is called customized or user defined and after that press on the "plus" button. Here you will find many type of sports
I have tried all kinds of smart watches from all major brands for eight years. Due to the much stronger charge storage in the GT series and the lighter Van, I confidently say that it is the most economical smart watch of this series.
Saddly there is no option to lock buttons. Soooo freeking many times i accidentally pressed that while on workout.. and all the time needed just stop my workout and press resume. It's soo annoying
Please confirm if this Connects with strava? They cancelled the connectivity during GT2 Allows third party watch faces? Battery life 7 days is downgrade Calorie tracker should have been implemented from first GT watch, And finally wth is 2 Time class A, which Huawei is selling as an upgrade. GT 4, 1 time class A, 2 time class A. Dual time is supposed to be back as hardware feature now?!
I had the GT2 pro with so many free watch faces but i recently got the GT4 watch and now this option is gone, when i go to the app on my phone and check the watch faces nothing comes up, I can only see the paid faces and there isnt an option for free, why is this? how can it be fixed?

Why you think is better? Does not have many functions. Would be good whatsapp and a keyboard option for small talks

I am very happy with my watch!
They do a fitness watch with a square face that does blood pressure via a special watch strap, its about £300 on their webpage
Is it geared for runners like the gt runner or will Huawei come out with another version of the GT runner ? ❤ the green ,rainfall green !

Excellent review
My uncle gifted me the brown leather version... So much satisfied!!!
Thank you for the video.
I have a GT2 and my question is if you can make and receive calls with the GT4.
To me a watch is mainly for looks since, and that green 46mm is really nice looking. Iam getting that one just for that over any samsung or apple

It's a plastic back. The Gt3 pro has a ceramic back.
Have they removed Artiral stiffness and ECG on this new model, and does it have NFC

I have got gt3 pro as well. I think you should go with gt 4 if you can get one. It's slitlghy better than gt 3 pro.
Gt3 pro has a titanium body and sapphire glass. I wouldn't switch
What about the brightness,it doesn’t look worth upgrading my gt3.only thing that could be better is the screen in bright sunlight.
Stay with the GT 3 pro. Better quality and accuracy.
