"Huawei says the Watch GT 6 series can estimate cycling power from the wrist, cutting out £800 hardware and bringing structured training to more riders. The company pairs that promise with dual-frequency GPS, titanium and sapphire materials on the Pro, and battery life rated up to 21 days. Real-world accuracy for power, heart rate, and positioning will need independent testing before any verdict."
"Huawei says it is the first smartwatch with built-in wrist-based cycling power estimation (claims require verification against Garmin, COROS, and Polar offerings). The technology aims to lower the cost barrier for power-based training. Where traditional power meters require expensive crank arms, pedals, or hub installations, the GT 6's virtual power system operates exclusively through wrist-worn sensors and intelligent data processing."
"Built for the Demands of Serious Training The GT 6 series targets athletes who demand reliability in challenging conditions. Huawei addresses this through materials engineering on the Pro model: sapphire crystal protects the 1.47-inch AMOLED display from scratches that would render lesser screens unreadable, while aviation-grade titanium construction resists the impacts and temperature extremes that destroy plastic fitness trackers. The nano crystal ceramic rear housing promises comfort during extended wear without the skin irritation common to metal backs."
The Watch GT 6 series estimates cycling power from the wrist using wrist-worn sensors and intelligent data processing, removing the need for expensive crank, pedal, or hub power meters. Dual-frequency GPS is incorporated to improve positioning accuracy. The GT 6 Pro features a 1.47-inch AMOLED protected by sapphire crystal, aviation-grade titanium construction, and a nano crystal ceramic rear housing for scratch resistance, impact tolerance, temperature resilience, and skin comfort. Battery life is rated up to 21 days on the Pro and 12–14 days on standard models, while peak display brightness enhances outdoor readability. Real-world accuracy for power, heart rate, and positioning awaits independent verification.
