Save 30 across the range on the Huawei Watch GT6 it comes loaded with cycling metrics and a 'Virtual Cycling Power' feature, plus free headphones worth 99

"The Huawei GT6 Pro and GT6 watches have an eye-catching cycling specification, and to mark the launch of the GT6, Huawei has introduced deals on both the Pro and standard models, offering 30 off, plus an exclusive Outdoor Edition bundle that also includes a free pair of Huawei FreeArc headphones (worth 99). The GT6 comes with a load of appealing cycling features that you'd expect, on par with the majority of the best cycling watches from rival brands."

"However, the interesting feature is what they call "Virtual Cycling Power" and Huawei claims it delivers "Pro-level cycling tracking". Although we've yet to test the GT6, Huawei claims that through what they say are advanced algorithms, built from studies conducted at the Beijing Sport University, paired with a built-in wind sensor and the rider's basic stats like body weight, age and height, the GT6 will calculate a rider's virtual power output, but there are no real data details as of yet."

"Of course, without testing, we are fairly confident and suspect that this won't be anywhere as accurate as the best power meters, but for those seeking Huawei's version of 'basic' power numbers without an additional crank-based power meter purchase, it could be an interesting feature at what is a real wallet-friendly price point. The GT6 is also compatible with iOS and Android, and to sweeten the deal, Huawei will also throw in a free EasyFit 3 Strap."

Huawei released the GT6 Pro and GT6 cycling smartwatches featuring cycling-focused specifications, long battery life up to 21 days, claimed super-accurate GPS and heart-rate tracking, and ECG analysis on the Pro model. The Pro offers a sapphire glass titanium build. A Virtual Cycling Power feature estimates power output using algorithms informed by Beijing Sport University studies, a built-in wind sensor, and rider data such as weight, age, and height. Accuracy remains unproven and likely below dedicated power meters, but it provides basic power metrics without extra hardware. The watches support iOS and Android and come with promotional bundles and accessories.
