Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Watch GT 7

  • 12 days of battery life covers a long trip without a charger.
  • Dual-frequency GPS keeps tracks steady on runs.
  • The screen at 3000 nits stays readable in direct sun.
  • Built-in GPS lets you leave the phone at home on a run.
  • A charge takes 80 min, and wireless charging means no cable.
  • Heart rate readings come close to a Polar chest strap in everyday use.

What we don't like about Huawei Watch GT 7

  • At 75 g it feels heavy for a sports watch.
  • The Health app is not on Google Play, so Android users need another app store.
  • Automatic workout detection misses the first minutes of a walk or run.
  • The watch has no WhatsApp, Google Maps or Spotify.
  • There is no ECG, which the Pro model adds.

Verdict

12 days of battery life is what you notice first on the Huawei Watch GT 7, and it still lasts 32 h with GPS running. The screen, at 3000 nits, stays readable in direct sun, and built-in GPS means you can leave the phone at home on a run. Dual-frequency GPS keeps routes steady, and wireless charging takes a full charge in 80 min. Heart rate readings are close to a Polar chest strap in everyday use, and the sleep and HRV data are detailed. The trade-off is weight: at 75 g it feels heavy for a sports watch, and the Health app is missing from Google Play, so Android users need another store. It suits a runner or hiker who wants a watch that lasts more than a week between charges.
