Huawei Watch GT 4 debuts as new affordable smartwatch from €249 with skin temperature sensor and 2 weeks of battery life

Huawei has released two new smartwatches, both under the banner of the Watch GT 4 series. As always, the Watch GT series serves as a more affordable option to Huawei's Watch series, which is now on its fourth generation. While the Watch 4 and Watch 4 Pro rely on a powerful chipset at the expense of comparatively short battery life, both Watch GT 4 sizes should outlast many of their peers.

Specifically, Huawei rates the 41 mm edition for up to 7 days between charges or a mere 2 days with Always-On Display mode activated. In comparison, Huawei claims that the 46 mm option should last twice as long in all scenarios as its smaller sibling. Please see Huawei's 'specs' page for more battery life details.

Additionally, the Watch GT 4 series is water resistant to 5 ATM and packs a GPS module, an NFC chip for making mobile payments and a TruSeen 5.5+ sensor array. According to Huawei, the latter can monitor your heart rate, SpO2 levels and even your skin temperature, although it does away with the ECG capabilities of the Watch GT 3 Pro. Meanwhile, both Watch GT 4 sizes have AMOLED displays that resolve at 466 x 466 pixels, as well as a rotating crown and a secondary side button.
