The Huawei Watch 5 is the latest instalment in Huawei’s flagship smartwatch series as the Chinese company continues to swell the ranks with connected timepieces as it makes a more concerted push to innovate with all things wearable.
The Watch 5 lands nearly two years after the Watch 4 series, announced alongside the Watch Fit 4 series. It continues the trend of promising a high-grade look, strong health, fitness and smartwatch features with a battery that won’t run out after a couple of days.
A new sensor bolsters the Watch 5’s health tracking abilities, along with new display technology, all while giving you a bit more battery life to play with.
Once again, it’s sitting at a price – from £399 – that puts it in the same category as the Apple Watch Series 10, Google Pixel Watch 3 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 7.
On paper, the Watch 5 has the specs and features to make sure it’s still competing with the best, but should you buy it over those rivals? Let’s find out.
Design & Build
- Two case size options
- Available in steel or titanium
- New side-mounted sensor
The Watch 5 comes in two case size options. There’s your pick of 42- or 46mm sizes and the option of stainless steel or a lighter, yet still very tough, titanium finish.
That means, unlike its predecessor, there’s now a significantly smaller model that sits more in line with the sizing applied to Huawei’s cheaper Watch GT 5. That’s good news if you found the previous watch a bit too hefty.
Huawei uses spherical sapphire glass, giving the display a curvier look and elevating the already likeable design

Mike Sawh
That’s matched up with a strap that’s thankfully easily removable with a simple button press. I had the 46mm, grey-purple titanium case paired with a similarly coloured composite strap, which has a leather effect to give off the impression it’s more formal than it appears.
I’d say the larger version doesn’t exactly scream unisex and is a design not far removed from the Watch 4 Pro.
Down the right side of the watch case lies a rotating crown with a flatter physical button a bit further down. Sandwiched in between that lies Huawei’s new sensor technology (more on that later), which is made up of an ECG electrode, pressure and PPG sensors.
At the rear is the other PPG sensor and is where you’ll drop the proprietary charging disc cradle onto when you need to power it up again.

Mike Sawh
The Watch 5 is waterproof up to 50 metres depth, making it safe for swims and showers and also meets the EN13319 standard to make it suitable for free diving up to 30 metres.
In the pool, it disables the screen to prevent accidentally activating it and offers good screen visibility underwater.
Screen & Audio
- Now curvier LTPO display
- Built-in speaker and microphone
- eSIM support
The Watch 5 packs a bright, high-quality touchscreen display with a smaller bezel, giving you more screen to play with.
It also uses version 2.0 of the LTPO display technology Huawei started to add to its smartwatches in recent years and means the display can provide smoother visuals and can even have a positive influence on battery performance by automatically adjusting the refresh rate.

Mike Sawh
Huawei uses spherical sapphire glass, giving the display a curvier look and elevating the already likeable design, though it introduces some glare when outside.
When you want to swipe and tap, it’s pleasingly responsive and another sign that Huawei is putting a pretty impressive display technology on your wrist.
You get a microphone and speaker that, along with eSIM support, meaning you can ditch your phone when you want to handle calls or stream music via Huawei’s own music app.
I’d say the speaker setup certainly prioritises volume over giving you supreme sound quality, but it does a good enough job to make using its voice and audio-enabled features worthwhile.
Software & Features
- Latest version of HarmonyOS
- Now supports gesture controls
- AppGallery and Petal mapping offered
It’s no major surprise to discover that the Watch 5 runs on the latest version of Huawei’s HarmonyOS operating system and continues to be compatible with iPhones and Android phones.
iPhone users will once again miss out on some features, like the music player.
The user interface is clean and fills that curvy screen nicely

Mike Sawh
On the watch, the experience is strong. The user interface is clean and fills that curvy screen nicely. The notification support works well and is well optimised and it’s always useful that you have the choice of how apps are presented on the main app screen too.
For the music player, audio needs to be synced over from the Huawei Health app and is easily done if you’ve got some files on your phone to send over – if it’s not an iPhone.
Other basic smartwatch staples are covered, like letting you view your calendar, weather forecasts and there’s a good array of watch faces to pick from. Huawei Wallet offers a place for your transport passes and uses the built-in NFC and Bluetooth.
You have access to Huawei’s AppGallery app store directly from the watch, though a browse shows this still can’t rival the Apple App Store or Google Play Store in terms of offering big-name apps.

Mike Sawh
Huawei also offers a couple of useful gesture controls letting you slide and double tap your fingers to use for the music playback, handling calls or switching off alarms. It doesn’t take too long to master them and adds another potentially useful method of control when you can’t get to that touchscreen.
Off the watch, it feels like Huawei’s companion app has got busier somehow and seems to have picked up a lot more bloatware, which makes getting to the places you actually care about a bit overwhelming with the amount that’s crammed onto the screen.
Sometimes, less is more.
Fitness & Tracking
- New X-Tap sensor technology
- Over 100 sport modes
- Offers full colour maps
For the Watch 5 it’s clear where Huawei has sought to make huge strides and that’s through increasing its health tracking powers.
This is led by its new multi-sensing X-Tap technology

Mike Sawh
This is led by its new multi-sensing X-Tap technology, which is made up of a pressure, ECG electrode and PPG sensor that aims to boost signal quality for capturing biometric data by reducing the type of interference that can be caused from monitoring from the rear sensor where hair and different skin tones can impact on accurate readings.
What that means in feature terms is that you can use that sensor for ECG readings, on-the-spot SpO2 readings, monitor for arterial stiffness and boost Huawei’s Health Glances feature.
It gives you an increased 9 indicators to better notify you if something doesn’t seem quite right. It should be said, though, that not all of these health metrics are regulatory-approved, like the arterial stiffness detection.

Mike Sawh
One thing you need to deal with is having to agree to the individual terms for each feature to start using them, which could be solved by doing this once from the app. The placement of the sensor is an interesting one, especially if you choose to wear something alongside the watch, which can make using it a bit more awkward.
I’ve been taking measurements of blood oxygen, heart rate and metrics like skin temperature during my testing and the results look good on the whole when compared to other smartwatches and a pulse oximeter.
My main concern is that with the increase in health tracking, the communication and presentation of that data on and off the watch needs to be great and while it is in places, it can also often feel overwhelming to take everything in.
I’ve always found Huawei’s sports tracking to be solid on the whole and it’s no different with the Watch 5.

Mike Sawh
All of the good fitness and sports tracking stuff remains from the Watch 4, including over 100 sports profiles, including running, cycling, swimming (pool and open water) and there is a free diving profile as well as a triathlon mode.
You get Huawei’s latest dual-band GPS to boost outdoor tracking accuracy and the ability to view offline maps. There are training insights on hand, like letting you glance at your current training load, see VO2 Max estimates, recommended recovery time and having your running ability scored as well.
I’ve always found Huawei’s sports tracking to be solid on the whole and it’s no different with the Watch 5.
GPS performance matched up well against a Garmin and Apple Watch, while heart rate data for most activities wasn’t wildly off until upping the intensity tended to see it struggle to keep up with the sudden spikes and drops in heart rate compared to a Polar heart rate monitor chest strap.
Sleep tracking is data-rich and well presented both in the app and on the watch. You’ll be able to see sleep scores, sleep stages and enable monitoring breathing during sleep, with access to music in the app to help you drift off.
The data felt largely in line with rival sleep trackers I tested it against, with the odd tendency to overestimate overall sleep duration, though that might be a welcome placebo.
Battery Life & Charging
- Up to 4.5 days (46mm)
- Ultra-long battery life mode available
- New dual battery mode
The 46mm version of the Huawei Watch 5 I tested is capable of running up to 4.5 days or 3 days if you opt for the 42mm due to its smaller battery.
There’s also a battery saver mode that disables Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity along with some other core features to push battery to anywhere from 7-11 days depending on what size model you get.
It’s a mode that’s not as limiting as it might sound and does help to keep you tracking activity and health metrics for long enough to make it a mode worth enabling over grabbing the charger.
I started out using it without the screen set to always-on mode and managed to get four days before I was prompted to move to the battery saver mode. You can set the watch to automatically change battery modes when it drops below 15%.

Mike Sawh
When I enabled the always-on display mode, daily battery drop was around 30% a day, which works out to 3 days. It never felt like the battery was dropping in a really dramatic fashion, unless using the always-on display mode.
If you can live without that, the battery performance is more than respectable. Especially compared to most other smartwatches at this price.
When it does get low, there’s a fast charging mode that gets you from 0-100% in 90 minutes. You have to deal with a proprietary charging cradle as is often the case, but at least it’s a good quality one that does secure firmly to the Watch 5’s caseback.
Price & Availability
The Huawei Watch 5 officially goes on sale today (15 May) and prices start at £399, rising to £599.
Like the previous instalment, this is a smartwatch that’s going to be a tricky one to get hold of in the US, where Huawei is still at loggerheads with the US government.
The cheapest Watch 5 model sticks to the same launch price as the Huawei Watch 4. How much you pay depends on the size and finish you opt for.
There are four versions of the 42mm Watch 5, all with a stainless steel construction. The 46mm Watch 5 is also available in four looks, with three offered in titanium and one in stainless steel. Basically, going bigger and titanium sees you paying out the big bucks.
If you take that base price, it puts it in the same cost category as smartwatches like the Apple Watch Series 10 ($399/£399) and the Google Pixel Watch 3 ($349/£399).
See our list of the best smartwatches to see our top picks.
Should you buy the Huawei Watch 5?
The Huawei Watch 5 is a smartwatch that’s never felt more like a health watch.
As Huawei makes big breakthroughs with health monitoring, as showcased on the Huawei Watch D2, its other smartwatches like this one seek to benefit from the more concerted push to let you tap more into your health metrics.
The problem is that it feels like the shift has seen Huawei overlook some areas that help to make a great smartwatch – nailing the staples like payments, music features and app support – along with some other software quirks that still exist from previous watches.
The Huawei Watch 5 is a good all-rounder and offers improvements in various areas. As a complete package, though, Huawei has taken its flagship down a path that will make it great for some and not so appealing for others.

GR8 Tech brings Champions Club to ICE 2026 – Casino & games
GR8 Tech is stepping into ICE 2026, booth 1C50, with Champions Club – an ecosystem built to shape, create and bring together iGaming champions.
Built on the Heavyweight Club legacy, it moves beyond boxing to celebrate champions across sport, business and technology – for operators who perform under pressure and refuse all things average.
“Last year, Heavyweight Club really landed because it was honest. Performance is earned,” said Sergey Ghazaryan, CRO at GR8 Tech. “For ICE 2026, Champions Club is the next step. It’s bigger than boxing. It’s about what makes champions in this industry: strong teams, smart execution and the platform that helps you win consistently.”
What’s on show: Live demos across the platform for champions portfolio
GR8 Tech will bring Champions Club to life with hands-on, live demos built for operators who want to see performance in practice. Visitors at booth 1C50 will be able to explore how GR8 Tech’s solutions connect across sportsbook, casino, affiliate operations and turnkey delivery, with product specialists walking through real scenarios and operator-relevant use cases.
The full Platform for Champions portfolio will be on show, including Hyper Turnkey, ULTIM8 Sportsbook, Infinite Casino Aggregation, Aff.Tech and more – giving teams a clear view of how to launch faster, scale smarter and run with more control in competitive markets. Visitors will also get a first look at a new solution GR8 Tech is presenting for the first time at ICE 2026.
Acceler8 Lab: A space built for learning and execution
At ICE 2026, GR8 Tech is setting up Acceler8 Lab – an educational space within the Champions Club where expertise meets execution. The company’s in-house experts and partners will share exclusive, practical know-how designed to shape how operators think, perform and scale. In collaboration with Gaming Operations Academy, the Lab will deliver sessions focused on operational challenges and performance drivers, giving visitors insights they can apply immediately. More details will be available as registration for the sessions opens on 13 January.
Lee McFarland brings the champion mindset to the floor
The Champions Club will also see the return of Lee McFarland, a British military veteran, iGaming consultant and founder of the Behind the Gloves initiative. He will run short, pad-based boxing sessions at the stand, bringing training energy into the experience, reminding the attendees that champions are built by showing up, putting in the work and performing under pressure – exactly the mindset GR8 Tech builds in its tech and partnerships. The activity will be held each day:
- 11:00am – 12:30pm – Sparring & Pads
- 1:00pm – 2:30pm – Pads
- 3:00pm – 3:30pm – Sparring

ROG Zephyrus laptops: immersive, AI-powered, and ultraportable
Designed for those who need performance on the go, the Zephyrus line-up delivers all-day power and stunning visuals in a sleek, ultraportable chassis. With smart AI features and efficient cooling, it keeps creators and gamers productive and immersed wherever they are.
ROG Zephyrus G14 and G16
This generation’s ROG Zephyrus G14 (GU405/GA403) and ROG Zephyrus G16 (GU606) redefine what compact performance can deliver, featuring next-gen processing power and a new HDR-class display that delivers higher brightness and visual depth for gamers who want more capabilities in the same sleek footprint.
The Zephyrus G14 (GU405) and G16 (GU606) feature Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processors, delivering flexible performance and up to 50 TOPS of NPU power for local AI tasks and in-game AI workflows. The G14 GU405 supports up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 Laptop GPU, and the G16 GU606 up to GeForce RTX 5090, with NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, DLSS 4, and Frame Generation. Max GPU TGP has been increased by up to 23% in manual mode, from 120W to 130W on the G14 and 130W to 160W on the G16.
With 50 TOPS of NPU performance and Copilot+, these laptops bring AI-powered acceleration directly to the device for gaming, creating, and multitasking — without relying on the cloud. ROG Intelligent Cooling keeps both models quiet and efficient under load, with a redesigned bottom panel, optimized exhaust vents, and liquid metal on the CPU.
In terms of display, they now feature a new 1100-nit Nebula HDR display with Nebula HDR engine tuning, delivering richer highlights, deeper contrast, and more lifelike HDR visuals, while providing 100% DCI-P3 coverage and Delta E < 1 color accuracy for cinema-grade quality. Extended battery life ensures productivity throughout the day. The laptop also adds a full-size SD card reader for easy media transfer. Powerful as it is, the G14 features a CNC-milled aluminum chassis with a redesigned Slash lighting and glass-mirror finish, combining performance, portability, and style.
ROG Zephyrus Duo 16
The dual-screen ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 (GX651) takes versatility to the next level. Its dual 3K ROG Nebula HDR OLED touchscreens run at 120Hz with a 0.2ms response time, providing smooth, tear-free visuals while supporting multitasking for gaming, streaming, or creative workflows, and the main panel supports NVIDIA G-SYNC®. Powered by the latest Intel processor and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, it handles demanding games, content creation, and AI workloads with ease. ROG Zephyrus Duo enable five operating modes to suit any scenario, while ROG Intelligent Cooling — featuring a vapor chamber, dual fans, and a dedicated graphite sheet — all combine together to provide the best possible performance, providing ultimate flexibility for work, play, and creation.
ROG x Kojima Productions: a visionary gaming collaboration
ROG has partnered with Kojima Productions to merge high-performance gaming technology with visionary storytelling and artistry. The collaboration celebrates creativity, exploration, and immersive experiences, bringing gamers, creators, and dreamers a collection of devices and peripherals that are as functional as they are collectible.
The ROG Flow Z13-KJP stands at the center of this collaboration, merging two decades of ROG’s gaming innovation with Kojima Productions’ visionary storytelling. Designed to reflect and reimagine the studio’s core values, the device draws deep inspiration from its iconic mascot, Ludens. It is a flexible 2-in-1 powerhouse that transforms into a gaming console, a creator tablet, a workstation, or an ultraportable laptop. Powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with Radeon™ 8060S graphics and a 50 TOPS NPU, it delivers desktop-class performance and on-device AI acceleration in a tablet-sized form factor. Its 13.4-inch 2.5K Nebula HDR touchscreen with a 180Hz refresh rate and a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut offers cinematic visuals and ultra-responsive motion, while the detachable keyboard and slim chassis make play and creation possible anywhere. Designed by Yoji Shinkawa, the chassis blends art and engineering into a collectible piece, enhanced with exclusive Kojima Productions packaging, custom Armoury Crate themes, and Ludens-inspired wallpapers.
Complementing the Flow Z13-KJP are specially crafted peripherals. The ROG Delta II-KJP headset delivers lifelike audio with 50mm titanium-plated drivers, clear communication with a 10mm super-wideband microphone, DualFlow Audio for seamless dual-device connectivity, ROG SpeedNova wireless technology and up to 100 hours of battery life. The ROG Keris II Origin-KJP mouse offers lightweight 63-gram ergonomics, three-zone RGB lighting, a 42,000dpi ROG AimPoint Pro optical sensor, and SpeedNova wireless technology for precise, lag-free gameplay. Finally, the ROG Scabbard II XXL-KJP mouse pad, featuring a hand-drawn Ludens motif by Yoji Shinkawa, combines collector-worthy design with water-, oil-, and dust-repellent durability.
Together, the Flow Z13-KJP and Kojima Productions peripherals deliver a fully integrated gaming ecosystem that merges performance, creativity, and artistry — turning every gaming session into an immersive, co-creative experience.
ROG G1000: a gaming desktop with holographic innovation
The ROG G1000 redefines what a gaming desktop can be, combining extreme performance with show-stopping innovation. At its core, the built-in AniMe Holo fan is the world’s first holographic fan system in a prebuilt gaming PC that can project customizable holographic visuals, transforming the environment into a medium of personal expression. The AniMe Holo module is housed in an independent chamber that incorporates the hinge-door design, ensuring airflow does not interfere with the main components’ thermal path and helping reduce overall system noise by limiting vibration from the Holo system. The ROG Thermal Atrium, dedicated for CPU cooling, channels fresh air through 420 mm AIO liquid cooler with three fans and isolated airflow paths, ensuring critical components remain cool and stable during extended gaming sessions. Equipped with up to the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 / 5080, ROG Strix GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, or AMD Radeon 9070XT GPUs, up to 128GB DDR5 memory, and up to a 2TB PCIe® 4.0 SSD, the G1000 is tuned and ready for peak performance from day one. The 104L ATX ultra tower chassis enhances airflow, accommodates larger cooling hardware, and supports easy maintenance, while the Fan Key provides instant one-touch thermal boost. Customization is extensive with Armoury Crate and Aura Sync, letting users control RGB lighting across GPU, cooling fans, water-cooling blocks, and the AniMe Holo, delivering a system that is as visually striking as it is powerful. With every unit validated for stability and backed by comprehensive ROG service, the G1000 gives gamers and creators the confidence to push limits without compromise.
