Swappable cases are the big hit, along with solid battery life and calls, but it's hard to find and strap options are lacking.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Watch GT Cyber

  • Innovative hot-swappable design allowing users to change the entire case and crown for different styles
  • Highly customizable with exclusive watch faces that can match user outfits
  • Rugged and durable build quality, featuring 5ATM water resistance and military-grade testing
  • Strong fitness and health tracking capabilities powered by TruSeen 5.0+ tech
  • Bright and sharp AMOLED display with high pixel density for clear visibility
  • Compact and lightweight 'core' that remains comfortable even with larger case options

What we don't like about Huawei Watch GT Cyber

  • Limited international availability, with many regions (including the UK and Europe) initially excluded from launch
  • Significantly shorter battery life compared to other GT series models, typically lasting around 4-7 days
  • Limited third-party app ecosystem compared to Wear OS or Apple Watch
  • Restricted strap material options, primarily limited to silicone versions
  • No NFC support for contactless payments in many versions
  • Lacks premium material options like high-end metal or leather straps found in Pro models

Verdict

The Huawei Watch GT Cyber is a unique modular smartwatch featuring a detachable 'Smart Movement' that allows users to swap the entire watch case and crown, not just the strap. It sports a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with a 466 x 466 resolution (352 PPI) and is built to last with 16 military-grade durability certifications and 5 ATM water resistance. Key characteristics include over 100 workout modes, continuous heart rate and SpO2 monitoring, built-in GPS, and a battery life that reaches up to 7 days of typical use. Main pros include its unprecedented level of physical customization, a vibrant high-resolution screen, and the ability to perform Bluetooth calling directly from the wrist; however, it lacks third-party app support and NFC payment functionality in many regions.
