As far as fashion-forward, tech-powered timepieces go, the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 has fought tooth and nail against the competition, and always come up smelling like roses. From practically emanating style and class as a casual daily driver, to garnering compliments as the perfect travel companion, it’s transcended the expected function of being a more than capable smart device.
One could even liken it to a close friend who always has your best interest at heart. Whether it be around the metro, or across the sea–if you haven’t completed your daily 16,000 steps, best believe the Watch GT 4 will make sure you do. As it can manage to go more than a week just with one charge, there’s no doubt that any extended holiday in a foreign land would be the least of your concerns when it comes to running out of juice.

We’ve been able to go through the specs, done a few of our own tests, and brought along the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 as a bonafide daily driver in the past couple of months. With no hints of slowing down, we decided to transition into some less technical territory. We delve into the classier, more cultured, and more stylish areas of fashion in which–as recall, the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 is a superstar in its own right.
Customizability is Key
The HUAWEI Watch GT 4 contains a slew of features, both for casual tinkerers and health aficionados alike. It’s not just a smart timepiece. It has the potential to be the extension of one’s self. While this may seem like hyperbolic lip service, simply scrolling through the watch’s home screen and delving deep into the very beefy HUAWEI Health would confirm our statements.
As such with creating extensions of yourself, expression comes into play. What better way to strut your stuff than with a customizable, swappable function that allows your watch face to seamlessly incorporate itself into your already stylish ensemble. All you need to do is open the HUAWEI Health app, select your device, go into your “watch faces” and select the very first one marked with an easy-to-spot “DIY.” Now, all you need to do is point and click on your desired set of swag for the day, and choose among a variety of generated patterns that would suit your style.
While the green wristband already boasts a premium feel of its own, having a bit of your own personality shine through the watch face is an additional stylish touch. Make no mistake, as the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 already has a generous selection of face designs already baked into the device itself, but that added customizability is just a feature you can’t help but play around with. I mean, who doesn’t want a complete stylish ensemble?
Navigate with Class
Now, you’re all stylishly set up for your holiday, and just stepped out the door. When we mentioned that the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 was a capable travel buddy, we didn’t mean it in a superficial sense. Sure, the idea of walking up to the locals and flaunting your drip might be tempting–an idea which would not recommend, but we meant something a bit more substantial, and not to mention helpful.
WATCH: AppGallery showcase at Thailand Game Show
Powered by most apps available in the HUAWEI ecosystem, it’s no surprise that the AppGallery’s Petal Maps syncs effortlessly with the HUAWEI Watch GT 4. Once both apps are installed on your watch and phone, navigating through just about any town and locale is but a breeze. You can choose to have Petal Maps on loudspeaker, if you’re so bold to do so–or have it play through your connected audio device. Either way, directions come out clear, pinpointing is precise, and there’s a guarantee that getting lost will be completely due to human error. So, listen well and keep your ears peeled, and eyes on the road.
In our recent trips to Japan and Thailand, where walking and public transportation were highly encouraged, the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 was able to hold its own in pointing our direction-impaired selves toward the right destination. Whether it was the nearby convenience store or a convention center two cities away, we always managed to arrive safe, sweaty, and sound.
Fashionable Travels
As a smartwatch, health monitor, travel buddy, and fashion statement all rolled up in one, the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 has so much to offer anyone who even glances its way. Truth be told, we’ve only scratched the surface. We look forward to going on more work-related trips, coverage abroad, and happy-go-lucky holidays with this stylish beast.
Knowing for a fact that we’ll be able to improve our sleep patterns, keep our heart rate in check, make it to the local restaurant in one piece, and not to mention–look good while we’re at it, any other smartwatch will have a hard time convincing us to unclasp the HUAWEI Watch GT 4 from our very stylish wrists.
