Huawei GT vs. Samsung vs. Apple: Which Smartwatch is Worth Your Money?

When it comes to smartwatches, Huawei, Samsung, and Apple all bring their own flair and strengths to the table. I’ve had the chance to test the Huawei Watch GT, Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro, and Apple Watch, and here’s my take on how they stack up against each other in terms of design, features, and performance.

Design and Build

Huawei Watch GT



The Huawei Watch GT exudes a classic, sophisticated vibe. It has a traditional watch-like design with a durable stainless steel body and ceramic back, making it perfect for formal settings. The AMOLED display is sharp and bright, even in outdoor light. I also love how slim it is compared to the competition.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Pro screams durability and ruggedness. This watch is clearly made for outdoor adventurers, with a titanium case and sapphire crystal glass. It feels premium but bulky, so it might not be everyone’s cup of tea for daily wear. The display, though, is gorgeous, with deep blacks and vibrant colors that are a hallmark of Samsung’s AMOLED screens.

Apple Watch

The Apple Watch has the most modern and techy look of the three. Its rectangular design might not appeal to traditional watch enthusiasts, but it’s incredibly sleek. The build quality is top-notch with options like aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium. Plus, the always-on Retina display is vibrant and responsive.

Winner: This depends on your taste. Huawei wins for elegance, Samsung for durability, and Apple for a futuristic vibe.

Health and Fitness Features

Huawei Watch GT

This watch excels in fitness tracking with over 100 workout modes. It provides detailed stats for activities like hiking and running, and the TruSleep sleep tracking is impressive. However, the lack of third-party app support can be limiting.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro

Samsung takes fitness to the next level with its advanced GPS mapping features and a host of health tracking capabilities, including body composition analysis. It’s a fantastic choice for outdoor enthusiasts with route tracking and turn-by-turn navigation.



Apple Watch

The Apple Watch sets the standard in health tracking. From advanced heart rate monitoring to blood oxygen levels and even fall detection, it covers almost everything. The Apple Fitness+ integration is also a big bonus if you’re in the Apple ecosystem.

Winner: Apple Watch leads in health and ecosystem integration, Samsung excels for outdoor tracking, and Huawei is great for casual fitness enthusiasts.

Battery Life

Huawei Watch GT

This is where the Huawei Watch GT shines. With up to 14 days of battery life, you can go almost two weeks without a charge if you’re not using GPS constantly.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro

The Galaxy Watch Pro offers solid battery life, lasting about 2-3 days with moderate use. It’s good but doesn’t compete with Huawei in this department.

Apple Watch

The Apple Watch’s battery life is its Achilles' heel. You’re looking at 18-24 hours per charge, so it’s a daily charger.

Winner: Huawei Watch GT, hands down, for battery life.

Software and Ecosystem

Huawei Watch GT

Huawei’s LiteOS is straightforward but limited. It’s great for basic functionality, but the lack of app support and integration with other ecosystems is a downside.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro

Samsung’s Wear OS-powered Galaxy Watch Pro offers a lot of versatility. It works well with Android devices, and the app selection is robust. However, if you’re an iPhone user, integration isn’t as seamless.

Apple Watch

The Apple Watch is the undisputed king of ecosystem integration. If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, it’s unbeatable. Features like seamless message replies, app syncing, and Apple Pay make it incredibly convenient.

Winner: Apple Watch for ecosystem; Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro for Android users.

Price and Value




  • Huawei Watch GT: The most affordable of the three, making it a fantastic value for casual users who prioritize battery life and style.
  • Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro: Priced in the mid-range, it offers great features for outdoor enthusiasts but might be overkill for casual users.
  • Apple Watch: The most expensive but justifiable if you’re deeply entrenched in the Apple ecosystem.

Final Thoughts

  • Choose the Huawei Watch GT if you value battery life, classic design, and affordability.
  • Choose the Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro if you’re an Android user who loves outdoor activities and needs a durable, feature-packed smartwatch.
  • Choose the Apple Watch if you’re in the Apple ecosystem and want the best health and smart features, even if it means daily charging.

Each of these watches excels in its own way, and your choice depends on what matters most to you. For me, if I were hiking and needed endurance, I’d grab the Huawei. For everyday smart features, Apple wins. For rugged adventures, Samsung has my back.

Hisense 75-Inch QLED 4K Smart TV (75Q6N) – My Hands-On Review

Image
Since using the Hisense 75Q6N for a few months now, I have to mention that the 75-inch QLED 4K Smart TV is one tremendous viewing experience at this price range. Right from movies to games or enjoying your favorite shows on television, the TV is a neat visuals display with impressive colors, quite satisfying to see. Following is my hands-on review. Unboxing & First Impressions The Hisense 75Q6N came in a ginormous but well-packaged box, and I was immediately impressed with the thin, sleek design. The bezels are extremely thin, making the screen look even bigger, and overall build is heavy and premium like. Mounting it was easy enough. The TV comes with two metal stand feet but I decided to wall-mount it for a cleaner look. Mounting it was easy, and the TV's weight was still in my range for a 75-inch screen. Picture Quality – Is It Worth the Hype? Having a QLED (Quantum Dot) TV, I expected vibrant colors and added contrast—and it exceeded those expectations by far! Colors ...

Synology DS923+ NAS DiskStation — My Personal Hands-On Review

Image
 Upgrade at last my home server setup, I went with the Synology DS923+ — and I must say, one of the smartest tech buys I've recently made. I've been using it every day for media storage, backups, file access on all devices, and even some simple virtualization. Here's how it served me from installation to everyday use. Unboxing & First Impressions Source: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central  (Image credit: Source: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central) Straight from the box, the DS923+ exudes a premium, solid, and purpose-built quality. The 4-bay form factor is professional yet compact. The tool-less drive trays made installing my 4x 4TB drives easy as pie — just pop them in and slide the trays back. It also includes dual 1GbE LAN, two USB 3.2 ports, and an eSATA port, with NVMe SSD caching or expansion through the M.2 slots underneath it being supported. It's kind of clear that this thing was made both for prosumers and enthusiasts. Setup & Software (DSM 7....

PlayStation 5: The Future of Gaming Is Here

Image
  The moment I laid my hands on the PlayStation 5 , it felt like a leap into the future of gaming-from unboxing to diving deep into my favorite games, this has been a journey of both discovery and excitement. So, if you're planning to upgrade or step into the PS ecosystem for the first time, let me share with you my experience that would help you decide.   Design: A Bold Statement   The first thing that struck me about the PS5 was its design. It’s unlike any console I’ve ever owned. The sleek, curvy white panels paired with the black core and blue lighting make it look futuristic. However, it’s huge! If you’re planning to add it to your setup, be prepared to rearrange some space. Once it’s in place, though, it’s a centerpiece that grabs attention. Love it or hate it, the design's definitely not subtle.   Performance: Speed and Power   But it wasn't until I first turned it on that the revelation hit: this custom SSD is no joke. The load times are ...
