HUAWEI's ready with a pair of new wearables, but the changes be impactful enough?

Huawei Watch GT 5 leak teases new health features ahead of September 19 launch
  • HUAWEI’s next smartwatch has leaked ahead of this Thursday’s planned launch.
  • The HUAWEI Watch GT 5 should return with both 41mm and 46mm size options.
  • While hardware might not see big upgrades over last gen, a new software package could deliver health-tracking improvements.

Right now, when we’re thinking about HUAWEI, our mind goes right to the company’s latest foldable design, which pushes limits with its dual-folding construction. But for as cool as the (very expensive) Mate XT is, we’re also very interested in what’s happening next on the much more affordable end of the company’s product spectrum. Back in May, we checked out HUAWEI’s new wearables, with the launch of the Watch Fit 3 and Watch 4 Pro Space Edition. Now we’re talking about how the company could follow those up, as a new leak attempts to reveal the HUAWEI Watch GT 5.

It was just this time last year when HUAWEI announced the Watch GT 4, and earlier this month the company confirmed plans to bring us the follow-up soon, with an announcement set for September 19. We quite liked the HUAWEI Watch GT 4, highlighting its affordability, multi-week battery life, and customization options. That said, we also saw some room for improvement on both hardware and software fronts, so we’re intrigued to get a look at how the successor’s coming together.
