Choosing a watch is choosing a use. In Huawei, the Watch GT 5 and the Watch GT 5 Pro tell two ways to live in time: one, an effective, effective, thought for active daily life; The other more demanding, cut for the advanced outdoor, noble matter, sure gesture. Here is what really changes – and what doesn’t change – to help you make the right decision.
What the two models share
- The common background is solid: AMOLED screen (1.43 “for 46 mm, 1.32” for 41/42 mm) in 466 × 466, new suite Huawei TRUSENSE sensors for more precise health monitoring, and GNSS double band “Sunflower” for a more reliable positioning outdoors. Both accept Android and iOS.
- The autonomy depends mainly on the size: up to 14 days for the 46 mm versions, up to 7 days for the 41/42 mm (with “typical” and AOD durations specified by Huawei).
- Navigation with offline cards exists on both, with a higher level of detail on the pro (see below).
Design and materials: the difference feels on the wrist
- Watch GT 5: front stainless steel case, a fiber -reinforced composite background. The approach aims at versatility, light and resistant, without ostentation. Indicative weight: 48 g (46 mm) and 35 g (41 mm), excluding bracelet.
- Watch GT 5 PRO: Two high -end interpretations. In 46 mm, titanium alloy facade and nanocristalline ceramic back. In 42 mm, integral nanocristalline ceramic. Sapphire glass protects the screen. Weight: ~ 53 g (46 mm) and ~ 44 g (42 mm), excluding bracelet.
- In hand (and at the eye), the pro assumes a more watchmaking posture: sharper contours, options of titanium or ceramic bracelets, reinforced IP69K finish. The GT 5 remains precise and sober, with a more transverse look.
Concrete use: If you chain office, urban bike and gym, GT 5 steel is largely enough. If you frequent the abrasive environments (rock, sand, salt) or if you are looking for the “precious object” sensation, the titanium/ceramic couple + Sapphire of the pro makes the difference over the years.
Sport and outdoor: the Prof pushes further
- Cards and navigation: The two watches manage offline cards to follow routes. The pro adds outline lines and benchmarks, with useful segmented navigation. The crown command to zoom in technical terrain is a real plus on the path.
- Golf: Base of more than 15,000 courses with 3D views, contextual distances, GREEN information – exclusive pro.
- Water and depth: 5 ATM and IP69K on both, but the pro adds apnea up to 40 m, with apnea chrono, identification of the type of water and safety reminders. For those who practice the coast or apnea training, it is unequivocally in the range.
Health and sensors: same base, useful exclusivity
- Trussense teams the whole series for heart follow -up, SPO2, breathing, sleep and stress.
- ECG: exclusive to the Watch GT 5 PRO, via an electrode button. The ECG app is available in France and in most EU countries; It generates a route in ~ 30 seconds. Simply check the activation in Huawei Health.
Concrete use: If a punctual ECG changes your practice (framed medical follow-up, validation of symptoms), orient yourself towards the pro. Otherwise, the GT 5 easily covers essential metrics.
Autonomy and load
- Official landmarks: GT 5 and GT 5 Pro display the same endurance logic per size: up to 14 days (46 mm) / 7 days (41/42 mm), with “typical” and “AOD” scenarios detailed by Huawei. In practice, the outfit varies according to notifications, GPS and training frequency.
Launch and availability price (France)
- Announcement on September 19, 2024, with immediate availability in France (Huawei site, Paris Boutique and Rendeurs).
- Indicative launch price: Watch GT 5 from € 249.99; Watch GT 5 Pro from € 379.99. Launch offers have accompanied the release (Freebuds 5i and 3 months Huawei Health+ until 12/31/2024).

What model for what use?
- You want a simple to live, light, elegant watch, with the essentials well done (sport, health, reliable GPS, good autonomy): Watch GT 5 is the minimalist path, at the best ratio use/price.
- You practice trail, golf or apnea, you want richer cards, increased resistance and an ECG: the Watch GT 5 Pro assumes the “plus” of material, technique and outdoor.
Gaboric tip: Small urban wrist? Think GT 5 in 41 mm. Medium wrist + regular sports? 46 mm offers “week +” autonomy. In pro, the 42 mm in ceramic is surprisingly comfortable and lighter than the previous generation.
Business experience: what to pay attention
- Where to look: the Huawei France store (web and store Paris) is the reference to check price, stocks and bundles of the moment; The resellers quickly follow. Launch validated on 09/19/2024, with gift offers until 12/31/2024.
- How to choose the finish: in pro, compare titanium (46 mm) and ceramic (42 mm) on the wrist; The feeling has nothing to do. On GT 5, steel goes well with a leather bracelet or woven for a daily port.
- ECG function: Check activation in the health and country availability app; France is well covered.
To deepen before buying:
In short – the right choice, quickly
- Materials: Steel (GT 5) vs titanium/ceramic + sapphire (GT 5 Pro).
- Outdoor: offline cards on both, but topography, benchmarks, advanced trail, 3D golf and apnea 40 m only on the pro.
- Health: Trusnse over the entire range, ECG reserved for pro (available in France).
- Autonomy: identical logic – opt for 46 mm if you want to exceed the week.
- Launch price in France: € 249.99 (GT 5) VS € 379.99 (GT 5 Pro).
If you are looking for a straight watch to the goal, beautiful, enduring, without escalation: Huawei Watch GT 5.
If you demand premium material and sharp functions for the mountains, water, green: Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro.
