HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 41mm Gold/White

I have a love-hate relationship with this watch. On the one hand, I'm incredibly enthusiastic about the device itself. The design is modern, and the screen is high-quality. The watch is comfortable to wear, both during exercise and sleep. What really surprised me is the battery life. I use the watch quite intensively (sleep tracking, sports activities, notifications from my phone), and yet I only have to charge it after about seven days.

The technical performance is also top-notch. The heart rate monitoring is accurate, and the GPS function is very reliable. It's also nice that the watch connects to both Android and iOS.

Unfortunately, the app is lacking. Huawei Health isn't intuitive and is full of features I don't use, but can't hide. The menu structure is confusing, and some sections are sloppy or automatically translated. I regularly receive notifications via the watch (vibrations), but when I look, I don't see anything, even though the notification is clearly visible on my phone.

What I also miss is a simple battery indicator on my Samsung phone. Everything has to be done through the app or the watch itself.

Despite that, the watch offers so much. It's a shame the app lags behind, because the watch itself is truly top-notch.

Unfortunately, I returned it after two weeks. The pedometer works very poorly. It only starts counting after about a minute of movement, and you absolutely shouldn't stand still for a second, because then it will stop for another minute. Any short walks in between aren't counted. I also found the strap very annoying. It keeps coming loose because the clasp isn't strong enough, so you have to keep tightening it. Furthermore, the watch looks very nice, is easy to use, and has many options. I found the app very confusing and awkward to use. So, I wouldn't recommend it.

I have been using this watch for almost a week now and I am very enthusiastic. I previously had a Garmin watch, but my heart rate was no longer being measured correctly. Several reviews of this Huawei watch indicated that it is very accurate regarding heart rate. I notice that my heart rate is measured much better. It is a very beautiful watch with many functions. I use it not only for exercising, but also to track my sleep and, for example, as a timer for when the washing machine is finished. At the end of the day, you also receive a motivational message if you have completed all the rings. You also get a notification if a specific goal has not yet been achieved. You can also set a goal for your workouts, such as walking for 30 minutes, and you receive a notification halfway through your workout. At the end of the workout, you also get a motivating "flag" indicating that you have completed the workout. I missed this motivation a bit with the Garmin. I also read in the reviews that many people found the app not very user-friendly, but personally, I find the app very handy. There is indeed a lot of information on it, but this is often the case with the apps of other smartwatches as well. The only downside I have been able to discover so far is that I haven't been able to pair this watch with the Polar H10 heart rate monitor. I also tested this with the Garmin, and incidentally, it didn't work with that either.
