This New Smartwatch Shows Us that Intelligent Design Can be Stylish and Durable Too
It’s unsurprising that smartwatches have been a dominant force in the industry, even beginning to surpass the traditional watch in terms of popularity among younger age groups. In fact, more smartwatch makers are taking visual cues from traditional watches, launching smartwatch designs that make it less possible to tell them apart from traditional watches at first sight.
When Huawei first launched its GT Series smartwatch, it became one of the earliest smartwatch makers to accomplish such a vision. Combining style and performance, each edition launched under the HUAWEI WATCH GT Series has led the way by striking the perfect balance between design and technology.
Its most recent update, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series, continues to set an impression with its aesthetic appeal. Launching under the design philosophy of “Fashion Edge”, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series combines visual appeal and smart functionality in all aspects such as material, mechanism, and colourway.
Ultra Durable Exterior for Everyday Performance
No matter the lifestyle you lead, every smartwatch user needs a watch that can endure accidental scuffs, splashes, sweaty fitness sessions, and varying environmental conditions. Made of aerospace-grade titanium alloy and nanocrystal ceramic, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Pro edition was built with a complex and thorough machining process to achieve top-notch durability. The watch is therefore prepared to deal with such possibilities through the premium material’s assurance of abrasion resistance, water resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Additionally, with the watch’s freediving capabilities, the watch is even able to withstand undersea environments – HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Pro has 40-meter diving-level water resistance and has attained an EN13319 certification in diving equipment standard tests.
Not only does this ruggedness make perfect sense for fitness activities and everyday wear, but it also introduces higher quality craftmanship to the smartwatch. Tough yet stylish, the watch’s material design makes the smartwatch versatile enough as a companion to intensive sports competitions or a fashionable accessory for social events uptown.
Trendy and Timeless Aesthetics for the Modern User
With vintage timepieces coming back in vogue, some traditional watch craftsmanship techniques are now being revived in new smartwatches. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series, for instance, comes in two main looks which adopt a “sharp-edged design” concept: an octagonal bezel and a jewellery-inspired bezel – two different designs inspired by timeless watchmaking techniques that were refined over the generations.
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Pro 46mm and WATCH GT 5 46mm features the ocatgonal geometric design with distinct contours and sleek edges. This creates a diamond-shaped metallic look that flares brilliantly at every angle that light hits. On the other hand, HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Pro 42mm and WATCH GT 5 41mm adopt a svelte bracelet-like look with a gold/silver toned bezel ring, on which delicate leaf patterns are carefully etched for an added dimension of craftsmanship.
Modular Watch Straps Featuring Convenient EasyFit 3.0 Mechanism
With a variety of watchstraps to choose from, users can mix and match their HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series smartwatch case and strap to achieve any look. Additinally, the Pro edition smartwatches come with exclusive sleek ceramic and titanium-based straps as well as sweat-friendly Fluoroelastomer straps, designed to match the look and feel of the premium watch case material. On the other hand, the standard edition HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 comes with an assortment of watchstraps; from the Brown Composite Leather Strap to the Gold Milanese Strap, users can choose how they want to make an impression.
All models also come with their own Fluoroelastomer straps, perfect during workouts. To make it easier and more convenient for users to switch the strap to their preferences and usage scenarios, Huawei created EasyFit 3.0. With just one push, users can quickly release their watch strap and swap it out. HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Pro 42mm’s ceramic watch strap is also the smartwatch industry’s first ceramic-based strap to achieve quick-release links, ridding users of the hassle of disassembling the watch strap links one by one.
Whether it’s dressy attire or athleisure wear, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series is made to be modular, fitting a variety of fashion genres and personalities.
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series is available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at a starting price 999 SAR through Huawei online store and several authorized retailers.
