At first, to be honest, I was a bit nervous. Can a “luxurious” smartwatch like this withstand the harshness of the deep forest and sea? Or is “it” only suitable for “decorative” in offices and luxury cafes? After a few days of “living hard” with GT 5 Pro Titanium, I have the answer!
Remarkable durability
My first impression of GT 5 Pro Titanium is its remarkable durability. The sturdy titanium shell and “max ping” scratch-resistant glass help the watch model survive many challenges. I wore the GT 5 Pro Titanium throughout the trip, from climbing mountains, trekking through the forest to swimming, and even accidentally “gave it” a few “kisses” with the dirt and rocks (sorry!). Result? Not a scratch!
I must say that I am extremely impressed with the resistance of the GT 5 Pro Titanium. The glass surface of this watch, although Huawei announced sapphire glass, which is often equipped on high-end mechanical watches, is actually completely “inert” against all impacts. Even when I accidentally rubbed the watch against a cliff, or let the sea sand “attack”, the glass remained unharmed.
Digital maps, high precision GPS
Entering the forest, GT 5 Pro demonstrates advanced positioning capabilities with the Huawei Sunflower system. The uneven and dense road does not make it difficult for this smartwatch as the GPS operates smoothly and accurately locates. If you have this watch, you probably won’t have to worry about getting lost anymore.
At sea, GT 5 Pro is still stable. This watch supports free diving to a depth of 40 meters, and has full features such as water classification, safety reminders, and professional breath-holding training. For those who are passionate about diving, this is a valuable feature to not only dive but also increase your endurance.
The design is both cool and luxurious
In addition to “collision-challenging” durability, GT 5 Pro Titanium also scores points with its luxurious, elegant design. The titanium frame and angular lines on both sides create a strong, aggressive octagonal watch face.
On the watch face, Huawei also arranges a series of numbers according to the second and hour markers to increase the “danger”. Especially in the Watch GT 5 Pro 46mm Titanium version that I experienced in this article, the top and bottom halves are also a combination of blue and red, making this Huawei smartwatch model even more outstanding. Combined with a rotating knob on the side, a delicately crafted Titanium frame and strap, this smartwatch looks really close to high-end mechanical watches specialized for men.
However, the included titanium strap does not seem very friendly for active sports activities, because it is quite heavy and a bit “difficult” during intense exercise. So I switched to silicone straps – much lighter and more flexible. Luckily, replacing the strap is extremely easy, just remove and attach and you’re done, no special tools needed.
The screen is bright and clear even in bright sunlight
The GT 5 Pro Titanium’s 1.43-inch AMOLED screen is a big plus. High brightness, sharp display, vivid colors, help me easily view information even under strong sunlight. Intuitive interface, easy to use, workout parameters are displayed clearly and in detail. Indicators during exercise such as heart rate, number of steps, distance are clearly displayed, no need to squint or tilt the watch to see.
In particular, the Always On Display (AOD) feature is extremely useful. I can see the time, date, and notifications without turning on the screen. “Convenient” is out of the question!
The battery is “strong” and can last a week before needing to be charged
The GT 5 Pro Titanium’s battery is also a bright spot. I used it continuously all week, tracking all activities from walking, climbing, swimming to jogging, and the battery still had “spare”. Too “buffalo”!
On average, on “exploration” days, I walk about 10km, climb mountains for 1-2 hours, swim for 30 minutes and jog for 1 hour. In addition, I also use smart features such as receiving notifications, replying to messages, monitoring sleep… Yet the GT 5 Pro Titanium battery still “balances” everything!
According to Huawei’s announcement, GT 5 Pro Titanium can operate up to 14 days in normal use mode and 8 days in high-intensity exercise mode. Indeed, “it” did not disappoint me!
Rich smart features
GT 5 Pro Titanium is equipped with HarmonyOS 5.0 operating system with a rich application store, meeting all usage needs. I can receive notifications and reply to Messenger messages. You can even use the compact virtual keyboard to type, convenient when you need to respond quickly without having to take out your phone. Although the keyboard is a bit small for fast typing, this feature is extremely convenient when you need to answer a few basic words.
In addition, GT 5 Pro Titanium also has a series of health and exercise support features such as heart rate measurement, sleep monitoring, SpO2, GPS, compass, altimeter… There is almost no shortage of “dishes”. play” at all.
Summary
Through the challenge of “going to the forest to the sea”, Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro Titanium shows that this is truly a strong and durable smartwatch, suitable for those who are looking for a device that can accompany them in sports activities. outdoor sports and exploration. Although not completely light to wear during vigorous exercise, the easy replacement of the strap helps partly overcome this drawback. With long battery life, bright screen, and easy-to-use interface, Watch GT 5 Pro Titanium deserves to be a valuable choice in the high-end smartwatch segment.
