Comfort: we forget that we wear it
Despite her strong look, she is surprisingly light. I even keep it to sleep, and honestly, I often forget that I have it on the wrist. I tested two bracelets: fluoroelastomer for sport (not sexy as a name, but super comfortable) and leather for more classy occasions.
Interface: Fluid as not possible
Navigation is hyper intuitive. No lag, no freeze, everything responds to the quarter turn. The AMOLED screen is perfectly readable, even when I’m hiking in the middle of a dodge.
I fell for a simple analog dial with some health info. Minimalist but effective!

On a daily basis: health above all
Sport and health: precision stunning
The other day, I was hiking in a super dense forest. Usually my watch GPS would have abandoned after 5 minutes. There? Impeccable from start to finish! Heart monitoring is just as reliable, which I am pedaling like crazy or simply in a ride.
The thing that really helped me was sleep follow -up. I slept like shit, and the watch analyzes pushed me to change a few habits. Result: I sleep better.
Small anecdote: In the middle of a large meeting, my watch began to vibrate to remember to breathe. My colleagues believed that I received an urgent call … when I was just stressed!
Besides, just before a stressful speaking, the watch alerted me to my high stress level, which allowed me to take some great inspirations. Not stupid!
Notifications: the essentials without headache
The Huawei Health app is doing the job without fuss. The notives are clear, well presented, and I can respond to basic messages directly from the watch.
The vocal assistant, on the other hand … Bof. So limited that I never use it.
Autonomy: the big slap!
It is the strong point that makes me love this watch: 10 full days without having to recharge it! And that, with all the activated functions! When I see my friends with their Apple Watch that panic if they forgot their charger for one night …
The recharging is ultra simple with the magnetic system. Efficient and fast, no complaints.
The annoying points
Let’s be honest, there is still something that inflates me: impossible to pay with in France. While we are in 2025, it is frankly annoying! I feel like I have a Ferrari without being able to exceed 50 km/h.
On the third -party apps side, it is also quite limited. Fortunately, native functions cover most of my needs.
Solidity: she cashes well
I made it fall on tiles (yes, I’m clumsy). Not a scratch! Same thing when I ran in pouring or sweated rain like a patient by bike. She did not flinch.
For whom? My cash opinion
In three words: Reliable. Elegant. Complete.
The Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro is the perfect watch for:
- Athletes who are tired of recharging shows them every night
- Those who want a smartwatch that does not shout “geek!” 100 meters
- People who want to follow their health without taking the lead
If you can do without contactless payment (and frankly, it’s a shame), this watch offers a great value for money.
Compared to Galaxy Watch or Apple Watch, it crushes competition on autonomy and classic style. Facing the Garmin, it is prettier and more modern, even if a little less specialized for hardcore athletes.
In short, after three weeks on my wrist, I do not regret my choice!
