Huawei Watch 6 Pro vs. Watch GT 7 Pro: More smartwatch or more endurance?

The Huawei Watch 6 Pro Space Edition features a premium titanium case, a ceramic bezel, and gold-colored accents. The Watch GT 7 Pro also utilizes a titanium alloy but is slightly lighter, weighing 55.5 grams (excluding the strap) compared to 60 grams. Both smartwatches are equipped with AMOLED displays boasting a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels. The Watch 6 Pro’s panel is slightly larger at 1.5 inches, while the GT 7 Pro features a 1.47-inch display. In our testing, the Watch 6 Pro reached an impressive brightness of 3,637 cd/m².

The most significant difference lies in connectivity. While the Watch 6 Pro can communicate independently of the smartphone using eSIM and Wi-Fi, the GT 7 Pro does without these features. That said, the limited selection of apps available for HarmonyOS somewhat restricts the practical utility of the LTE connection.

Both models are well-equipped in terms of health features, supporting functions such as ECG, heart rate monitoring, and blood oxygen saturation measurement. The Watch 6 Pro additionally includes an "X-Tap" sensor, which enables health readings via the fingertip. Both watches also feature dual-band GNSS and a comprehensive suite of sports tracking functions.

The GT 7 Pro takes the lead when it comes to battery life: Huawei claims up to twelve days of typical use, whereas the Watch 6 Pro is rated for 4.5 days. In our testing, however, the Watch 6 Pro lasted about six days with the "always-on" display disabled, and four days and 17 hours with the display set to "always-on."

For those seeking a sports and health watch with the longest possible battery life, the Watch GT 7 Pro is an excellent choice. Conversely, the Watch 6 Pro Space Edition is better suited for users who prioritize standalone cellular connectivity, additional health features, and an exclusive design.
