Smartwatch

Good7/10Mid-range

Huawei's GT and Fit watches are well reviewed as stylish, long-lasting fitness watches at fair prices. They lack a real app ecosystem, so they suit people who want tracking and notifications rather than a full smartwatch.

Good at

  • Long battery life (often 1–2 weeks on GT models)
  • Premium design and bright screens for the price
  • Solid fitness and sleep tracking

Weak at

  • Very few third-party apps
  • Some features limited when paired with iPhone
  • Huawei Health app setup can be awkward on Android
  • Not sold in the US
