GT 5 Pro is a giant leap

What is it? Huawei is not messing around in the wearable arena. It has forced its way into the game with what it is calling a "revolution on your wrist", and is no longer a mere wannabe among watches.

First, the obvious: the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro looks great. The 46mm version really does boast, with a titanium alloy case and sapphire glass, and the 42mm model brings in white ceramic and gold accents to make an entrance. A scratch-resistant face allows it to be both durable and lightweight at the same time.

There was a time when a 46mm version felt oversized, and it may well still be overkill on smaller wrists. The difference today is that the large amount of data and tracking one wants instantly available on one screen brings the larger face into its own.

The beauty of the device is that one can still integrate this into an elegant watch face, with the data lurking unobtrusively within the design.

The real proof of the success of this integration came with several people asking me, when I looked at the time, "Is that a smart-watch or the old kind of watch?" Which is another way of saying, this watch attracts attention, and looks like an elegant watch.

Huawei no longer needs permission to join the smartwatch game. But that is not what gives this device its edge.
