Huawei Watch GT Runner review

Box contents

First of all, when we look at the contents of the box, we see that there are documents that we have not read except the watch itself and the charging apparatus. The charger, which has a strong magnet, sticks directly to the bottom of the watch. The box also includes a spare belt that is shorter.

Design

In the design of the watch, a sporty design line was used as well as a stylish one. There are two physical keys on the watch. While the button for training modes is positioned at the bottom of the watch, our classic round button is positioned at the top. When you press this button, you can also navigate the menu by turning it while accessing the applications.

I can say that the watch, which weighs 38.5 grams excluding the strap, is ergonomically very comfortable. There are sensors developed on the back of the watch to make better measurements. A ceramic coating is used on this back. Along with a titanium alloy on the side, polymer fiber sheath is preferred at the cord connection points. The strap of the watch is very comfortable, but although I normally like this type of strap, the strap bothered me a little in long use.

On the front of the watch, an Amoled display with a ceramic alloy is used. Thanks to this screen with a diameter of 466 pixels, you can control the clock completely by touch. As expected from Huawei, a quality screen was used and a sporty line was captured with the frame around it.

Interface and training applications

As I said at the beginning, this watch has a sports-oriented structure with its improved sensors. In this context, we come across a sequence and priority both in interface selections and applications. In the training section, besides the classic training modes such as running, climbing, track, cycling and swimming, you can also access sports activities such as skiing, snowboarding and rowing. Being resistant to water pressure up to 50 meters makes the watch stand out in water training.

Thanks to the Huawei Health application, you can change the dials of the watch you connect to your phone via the application and the watch. To change it on the clock, simply press and hold the screen.

When you swipe the watch to the right, you can access heart rate, heart rate and weather applications apart from training-oriented statistics. Of course, when music is indispensable while training, the weather and music connection is placed on the left side. It is also very important that your watch can be connected to headphones and play music independently of the phone. In addition, if you have a bluetooth speaker such as the Huawei Sound Joy, you can connect your watch directly to it.

When you slide the clock down, options such as settings, find my phone, alarm and battery, bluetooth status are included. It also has a water discharge setting. After swimming training, you can press this part to remove the water that has escaped from the reservoir on the right side of the watch.

When you swipe up on the screen, the notification screen appears. From here, you can browse the mail, twitter, message or whatsapp notifications you receive. I have used the watch on both an iOS and a Huawei phone. Notifications work very well on both. I should also mention that you cannot respond to notifications over the clock. The Huawei Watch GT Runner does not have Wi-Fi support. Thanks to the GPS support, you can follow the route while training. It is also a great advantage to have voice search support on the watch. The speaker sound has been improved over other models, which is a nice plus.

The watch, which uses the Harmony OS operating system, has a 451 mAh battery. Although a 14-day period of use is given on paper, it is possible to say that it exceeds this period in normal use. Although I used it extensively during the testing process, I saw a value above 20% after a two-week period.

As a result, the Huawei GT Runner has become a model that draws attention with its special use focus for athletes, stylish design, ergonomic structure, Harmony OS support, sensor and, of course, battery time. your watch Turkey price currently 3.499 TL with a discount. Of course, it has become very difficult to comment on the price in our country, but if you are looking for a sports-oriented watch in this price range, I can say that it is a model you should take a look at.
