A live unboxing video of Huawei’s upcoming Watch GT 5 has leaked online ahead of its official release. The 40-second clip, circulating on Chinese video platforms, reveals the smartwatch’s complete design and new upgrades. The Watch GT 5 features a wide blue silicon strap in a woven pattern, offering a sporty feel.
It showcases a thick bezel around its dial and comes in silver, white, and graphite black colors, presenting a bold look. The watch has a silver crown with stripes on the right side and a feature button below, used to operate certain tasks or perform health-related activities. It is expected to manage the advanced TruSense system.
The octagonal casing is made of shiny metal with smooth, tough edges to withstand external damage. The back panel uses ultra-light glass technology to improve signal quality while keeping the device lightweight. The Watch GT 5 series will be available in 46mm and 42/41mm sizes.
It may come pre-installed with new software, bringing several new features. Huawei is set to launch the Watch GT 5 along with two more smartwatches and tablets in Barcelona. Leaks suggest the company might also introduce these products to Chinese consumers later this month, although not officially confirmed.
The Huawei Watch GT 5 continues the brand’s established design with an octagonal body and circular graduated bezel.
