The new Huawei Watch GT4 is here with two stylish options – 41mm with a “Pendant Design” and 46mm with an “Octogonal Design” – and the upgraded TruSeen 5.5+ technology, which is a new suite of sensors and algorithms to provide more accurate and more detailed health tracking.
First off, the choice between 41mm and 46mm comes down to battery life and which look you prefer – both options start at €250 (more detailed pricing in a bit). As for the battery, the larger model lasts up to 14 days, the smaller one up to 7 days.

The 46mm model has a 1.43” display, the 41mm one has a 1.32” display. Both are AMOLEDs with 466 x 466px resolution (326ppi and 352ppi pixel density, respectively).
TruSeen 5.5+ brings the new TruSleep 3.0 tech. This includes Sleep Monitoring, which will track your sleep cycles and help you improve your sleep habits. Additionally, Sleep Breathing Awareness keeps an eye on your heart rate and SpO2 while you sleep and will alert you to any breathing issues.
The other new addition is the Menstrual Cycle Management 3.0. Huawei claims this is 15% more accurate in first-day period predictions than mainstream smartwatches. This tech tracks heart rate during sleep, sleep temperature and other physiological factors to predict periods and record symptoms in real time.
For outdoor exercising, the dual-band, five-system GNSS provides 30% more accurate positioning, even when you’re surrounded by tall buildings. The watch can track a variety of sports (100+) and now includes things like Padel and even e-sports.
The new Stay Fit feature helps you track your caloric intake with real-time health data. Activity Rings offer at-a-glance info on how you’re doing throughout the day (it shows calories burned, exercise duration and activity while standing).
