Review of the Huawei Watch GT 6 in the UAE

Introduction

Over the years, I have closely followed Huawei’s smartwatch journey. The brand has always impressed me with steady innovation and reliability. From the earliest Huawei Watch models, the focus stayed on elegant design, long battery life, and meaningful health tracking. Huawei never chased trends blindly. Instead, it refined core smartwatch experiences that matter to everyday users and fitness enthusiasts. This philosophy became even stronger with the Huawei Watch GT series. The GT lineup strikes a perfect balance between smart features and endurance. It is perfect for users who dislike daily charging. In the UAE market, this approach resonates with professionals, athletes, and lifestyle-focused consumers. Now, with the arrival of the Huawei Watch GT 6, Huawei continues this legacy. The latest GT series smartwatch reflects maturity, refinement, and a deep understanding of our regional expectations.

Design & Specification

The Huawei Watch GT 6 keeps the premium feel Huawei is known for, blending timeless design with rugged practicality. It comes in two sizes: 46 mm and 41 mm. Both sizes offer the choice of a stainless steel case. The case feels solid yet refined on the wrist. The 46 mm variant weighs around 54.7 g (strap excluded), and the 41 mm variant weighs about 37.5 g (strap excluded), making both comfortable for all-day wear.

Let us talk about the 46mm size, as this model has come for review. The screen is a standout. It features a vibrant AMOLED touchscreen with a 466 × 466-pixel resolution and a PPI of 317. It ensures sharp clarity even in harsh UAE sunlight. The 46 mm model sports a 1.47-inch screen, it has dimensions of 45.6 mm × 45.6 mm × 11.25 mm with a screen of rich colour and deep contrasts.

Huawei equips the GT 6 with a rotating crown and a side button for navigation. Wireless charging adds convenience. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM. This means it is safe for swimming and everyday splashes.

The GT 6 includes a comprehensive sensor suite. It features an Accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, optical heart-rate sensor, barometer, temperature, and ambient light sensor. These help allow precise health and activity tracking. The watch is compatible with Android 9.0+ and iOS 13.0+ devices.

Battery life remains a key strength. I get up to 21 days on light use and around 15 days with typical use. With GPS sport mode active on the 46 mm model, the battery lasts up to 40 hours. This is ideal for both everyday wear and extended workouts.

The Review of Huawei Watch GT 6 (Model – ATM-B19)

The Huawei Watch GT 6 I received for review is the 46mm model. It has a stainless steel case and a Green Composite Woven Strap. The GT 6 is one of the most budget-friendly smartwatches in the series. It packs all the latest features, including 5 ATM water resistance.

Packaging

The watch came in a branded black box. The text is embossed and printed in gold. It is accompanied by an image of the watch and the Green Composite Woven Strap. The watch is well protected and beautifully packed. Inside, I found the wireless charging cradle with the charging cable. There is also a Quick Start Guide, Safety Information, and Warranty Card.

My Experience

I have been familiar with Huawei smartwatches for a long time. The most important point compared to other big brands with similar features is the battery life. I have seen and reviewed iOS and Android smartwatches. Their battery life usually lasts 1-2 days, or at most 1 week, in the same price range.

The Huawei GT 6 is perfectly priced for adventurous, active consumers. I reviewed the GT 6 while connecting it to the Huawei Health Application. As soon as I paired the watch, I received multiple updates. These updates took some time. Once finished, I was ready to use the smartwatch.

I used and reviewed the watch for 3 weeks and was happy with its performance. I first fully charged the smartwatch using the wireless charging cradle from the box. After a week of regular use, the battery level dropped to 74%. I also changed and added new watch faces from the Huawei Health App to suit my needs.

I have used the GT 6 while driving. I’ve also used it in the shower and while walking outdoors. On some days, I even used it while sleeping.

The watch feels a little heavier than earlier models, due to the metal case. It gives a rich and premium feel. The watch looks stylish, and with its analogue dial, it can easily pass as a premium mechanical watch.

Little Issue while sleeping

My personal experience using the GT 6 while sleeping was not great. I sleep on my side with my hand tucked to my chest or under my head. Because of the metal casing, I did not feel comfortable sleeping. Otherwise, the GT 6 is an excellent smartwatch.

Great for Outdoor Activities

I was capable of testing the 5 ATM rating directly. Still, I did test the waterproofing in the shower. I also tested it in the desert. There were no issues with water seeping in or sand and dust damaging the watch. There were no scratches, thanks to the tough Sapphire Crystal Glass.

Overall, the Huawei Watch GT 6 is an excellent smartwatch. It offers style, toughness, premium looks, and long battery life.

Price & Availability

Now, the Huawei Watch GT 6 is priced at AED 699. You get an extra HUAWEI EasyFit 3 Grey 22mm wrist band and 3 months of Huawei Health+. It is also available on other e-commerce websites, like Amazon.ae, for AED 615. The watch is available at retail stores across the Middle East.

Conclusion

The Huawei Watch GT 6 is an excellent choice for a smartwatch. It offers 21 days of battery life and a range of features. The features include 5 ATM water resistance and a tough sapphire crystal. It also has a stainless steel casing. Additionally, it comes with a beautiful Green Composite Woven Strap and offers wireless charging.

The GT 6 watch is perfect for daily use. It looks great at the office and for leisure. With all its app features, I can use it for swimming, cycling, trekking, and much more.
