Smartwatches have long forced South African consumers to choose between design, battery life, and advanced training features. Huawei’s new Watch GT 6 Series, now officially available nationwide, eliminates that trade-off. With a 21-day battery, first-in-class Cycling Virtual Power, and a premium titanium-ceramic build, the GT 6 Series repositions what a sub-R7 000 smartwatch can deliver.
Unveiled in Paris on 19 September and now arriving on South African shelves, the GT 6 Series blends elevated fashion with serious functionality, making it as comfortable on a boardroom wrist as it is on a steep trail run. South Africans lead active, mobile lives — from long outdoor rides to weeks disrupted by load-shedding. With up to 21 days of battery life on the Pro and 46 mm models, and 14 days on the 41 mm edition, the GT 6 Series is engineered for all-day wear without daily charging. Its high-silicon stacked special-shaped battery delivers 65 % more capacity than previous generations, ensuring uninterrupted performance on the move.

Staying true to the GT legacy while raising the bar even higher, the new HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series takes aesthetics and craftsmanship into bold new territory. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro features a sleek, raised timing bezel and boasts a screen that’s 5.5% larger than its predecessor, providing a more immersive and vibrant experience. Crafted with premium materials like sapphire glass, an aviation-grade titanium alloy body, and a nanocrystal ceramic rear cover, it ensures durability and exudes sophistication.
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 comes in 46 mm and 41 mm editions to suit different style preferences and wrist sizes. The 46 mm edition draws inspiration from cycling, with its fresh green colour option paired with a sleek three-tone gradient bezel. Meanwhile, the 41 mm edition features innovative pivoting loop lugs that ensure a snugger and more comfortable fit on your wrist, making it a perfect companion for a variety of looks and occasions.
Four advanced workout modes
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series is the first smart watch to introduce Cycling Virtual Power, a wrist-based power metric that estimates your output using speed, incline, and body data without needing a separate power meter. This feature is a result of extensive research, thousands of cycling simulations and advanced wind resistance modelling. Thanks to this rigorous testing, the watch can accurately calculate Cycling Virtual Power, making it an essential tool for serious cycling enthusiasts. You can now check your Cycling Power directly on your wrist in real-time, with precision nearly matching that of a dedicated power meter. You can fine-tune your workout intensity and adapt your training plan with greater accuracy based on this data.
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series also takes trail running, golf, and skiing modes to the next level, delivering smarter insights and more professional outdoor fitness experiences than ever before.
