Huawei Watch GT 6 (41mm): A Wife's Transition from Apple Watch

This video details the reasons behind the reviewer's wife's switch from an Apple Watch to a Huawei Watch, specifically focusing on the Huawei Watch GT 6 (41mm) model. The reviewer purchased this watch for his wife, not as a sponsored product. The transition has been positive, leading to an upgrade to the GT 6 after over a year of using Huawei smartwatches. The video aims to guide viewers considering smartwatches as gifts for women, especially with the upcoming 20/10 (Vietnamese Women's Day) and year-end gifting seasons.

Sponsorship and Promotions

The video is supported by Cellphones, which is running a 20/10 promotion offering attractive discounts and deals on various tech products, including the Huawei Watch GT 6. These promotions extend to phones, tablets, home appliances, accessories, audio devices, and laptops. Viewers are encouraged to visit the Cellphones website for more information, particularly for 20/10 gift ideas.

The Shift from Apple Watch to Huawei

The reviewer's wife previously used Apple Watches for a long time, starting from Series 2 or 3 and most recently the Series 9. The initial interest in Huawei watches was sparked by the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro (round face model) that Huawei sent for review. The wife was drawn to its white variant and decided to try it. After experiencing the GT 5 Pro, she was so impressed that she purchased it officially. This year, she traded in her GT 5 Pro at Cellphones to upgrade to the new GT 6.

Huawei Watch GT 6 (41mm): Design and Value

The 41mm Huawei Watch GT 6 is highlighted for its specific appeal. While maintaining a round face, its design is slimmer and more delicate, making it particularly suitable for individuals with smaller wrists and, notably, for women. The seamless integration of the strap with the watch case is praised for its aesthetic appeal. Crucially, the price of the Huawei Watch GT 6 is considered very competitive, making it an attractive option for women seeking a stylish smartwatch.

It's important to note that Huawei has not released a 41mm or 42mm Pro version of the GT 6 this year; only the 46mm Pro model is available. For those who prefer a round face in a smaller size, the standard GT 6 is the only option, and the reviewer believes it is perfectly adequate.

The reviewer purchased his wife's GT 6 (41mm) at Cellphones for approximately 4.1 million VND after discounts, down from the listed price of around 4.9 million VND. This specific model was the purple strap version, though other color options are available. The purchase involved a 500,000 VND discount for a trade-in and additional payment-related discounts.

Trade-in Experience at Cellphones

The wife traded in her Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro through Cellphones' trade-in program. The store offered 2.5 million VND for the GT 5 Pro. While acknowledging this is not the highest price achievable if selling privately, the reviewer and his wife opted for the convenience due to time constraints. The total cost for the upgrade, after all discounts and trade-in value, was around 2.5 million VND, which the reviewer found to be a very reasonable price for upgrading a smartwatch. Even without a trade-in, the GT 6 (41mm) is considered a good value proposition.

Battery Life: A Major Advantage

A significant factor in the wife's decision to switch from Apple Watch to Huawei is battery life. While the GT 5 Pro already offered good battery performance, the Huawei Watch GT 6 series features an upgraded silicon-carbon battery. This, combined with increased battery capacity, leads to improved real-world usage. The 41mm GT 6 typically lasts over 7 days on a single charge, even with continuous wear, including during sleep. This is a substantial improvement over Apple Watches, which often require daily charging. The reviewer's own 46mm GT 6 can last 1.5 to 2 weeks. This extended battery life makes it ideal for travel and eliminates the need to carry a charger for short trips.

iPhone Compatibility and Functionality

A critical requirement for the reviewer's wife, who uses an iPhone, was seamless compatibility. The Huawei Watch GT 6 meets this need effectively.

• Sports Tracking: All Huawei watches, including the GT 6, offer robust sports tracking capabilities.
• Notifications: Notification display is now excellent. A previous issue where app icons were not displayed on iPhone notifications has been resolved. Icons for commonly used apps like banking apps, Zalo, and Threads are now shown, making the experience much better.
• Call Answering: The ability to directly answer calls from the watch, including calls from chat applications, is a highly appreciated feature. This is particularly useful when hands are occupied, such as when carrying items.
• NFC Card Emulation: A standout feature is the ability to add NFC cards (e.g., elevator, parking) to the watch. This allows for quick access by simply tapping the watch, eliminating the need to retrieve a physical card. Both the 41mm and 46mm GT 6 models support NFC card addition.

Important Note on NFC:

1. Some encrypted cards may not be compatible. The reviewer successfully added his elevator and parking cards.
2. To add NFC cards, the Huawei watch must initially be paired with an Android phone. After adding the cards, it can be re-paired with an iPhone without losing data, as long as the watch is not reset.

Drawbacks Compared to Apple Watch

Despite its strengths, the Huawei Watch GT 6 has one notable drawback compared to Apple Watch:

• Lack of Voice-to-Text Messaging: The Huawei Watch GT 6 does not support replying to messages using voice dictation in Vietnamese. Apple Watches excel at this, instantly transcribing spoken Vietnamese into text for message replies. While some Huawei Fit models offer this feature, it's limited to Android. This is a feature both the reviewer and his wife miss.

However, the reviewer emphasizes that this missing feature is not a deal-breaker and that the advantages of the Huawei Watch GT 6 significantly outweigh this disadvantage, leading to his wife's continued satisfaction.

Conclusion and Recommendation

The reviewer concludes that the Huawei Watch GT 6 (41mm) is an excellent smartwatch for women, offering a compelling blend of design, functionality, and battery life at a competitive price. He recommends it for women looking for a smartwatch and suggests it as a great gift option for loved ones, especially with the upcoming 20/10 and year-end holidays. Viewers interested in purchasing the Huawei Watch GT 6 are encouraged to visit Cellphones during their 20/10 promotion.
