Huawei’s latest wearable promises marathon stamina without the marathon charging routine.
Huawei has announced the Watch GT 6 series with a claimed up to 21 days of battery life on the 46mm models and up to 14 days on the 41mm.
That’s “charge it, forget it” territory compared to rivals that fade after a couple of days. For context on the previous generation, see Huawei Watch GT 4 and the wider Best Smartwatch 2025.
The longevity comes from a high-silicon stacked cell Huawei claims is 65% higher capacity than before, plus an upgraded Sunflower Positioning System for tighter GPS during runs, rides and hikes.
Bigger, brighter, shinier
The Watch GT 6 Pro adds a raised timing bezel and a display that’s 5.5% larger, with peak brightness up to 3000 nits for sunny days.
Materials include sapphire glass, titanium alloy and a ceramic rear. Colourways span green, brown and black for the 46mm, while the 41mm offers purple, white, black, brown and gold. It’s the rare fitness watch that looks at home on a trail and in a meeting.
Fitness and health features
Headline addition: cycling virtual power on the wrist, pitched as power-meter-style training insight without extra bike hardware. Trail running, skiing and golf modes get upgrades, while Huawei’s TruSense system adds broader health tracking with HRV metrics for recovery.
The GPS bump should keep pace and distance honest off-grid, though accuracy will be the decider for cyclists. Those shopping at the premium end may still look to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for its app ecosystem and safety features, but outright endurance is the GT 6’s calling card.
Price and availability
Watch GT 6 starts at £229 (launch offer £199) and Watch GT 6 Pro at £329 (launch offer £299), with sales via Huawei’s store and retailers including Amazon, Argos, Currys, John Lewis, Very and Joybuy.
An Outdoor Edition bundle with FreeArc headphones is listed from £259 after discount. If the GT 6 truly manages two to three weeks between charges with regular tracking, that’s a genuine quality-of-life upgrade. Battery, brightness and build all look strong; the virtual power feature is the wildcard.
Battery life is the headline and the hook. If virtual power proves close to a real meter and GPS accuracy holds, GT 6 becomes a hassle-free training partner. If not, it’s still an easy pick for anyone tired of nightly charging.
