Best Looking Smartwatch Yet? | Huawei Watch 5 Review
1,309Reviewing the Huawei Watch 5 (42mm), the best looking smartwatch of 2025 so far - but is it the greatest wearable for battery life, fitness tracking etc? I've been testing the Huawei Watch 5 for two weeks now so here's my verdict!
Also available in a 46mm flavour, this smartwatch boasts a stainless steel or titanium finish (depending on which model you get). You've got many of the same health features vs the GT 5 Pro, including golf and diving tracking. Plus the Huawei Watch 5 serves up a fresh X-Tap sensor, for more accurate ECG readings and full fitness support.
As well as being the best looking smartwatch, this wrist rocket serves up a durable curved OLED screen and some slick HarmonyOS features. However, vs WearOS watches, the Huawei Watch 5 lacks contactless payment support (here in the UK). Notification support is basic and battery life isn't as good as some alternative Huawei wearables.
Check out my review of the best smartwatches in 2025 for alternative options, including that GT 5 Pro, OnePlus Watch 2 etc.
