HUAWEI Watch 5 Review: HUAWEI has officially dropped its most high-tech smartwatch yet, the Watch 5 and it’s not just a pretty face. Think of it as your wrist-based health MOT station with style to spare. It’s rocking a slick new “X-Tap” sensor, ultra-durable design, and a battery that goes the distance. Oh, and it works across both Android and iOS because no one likes being boxed in.
HUAWEI Watch 5: The Finger-Tap Health Gadget
Unlike your average smartwatch that tells you the time and occasionally scolds you for sitting too long, the Watch 5 takes things to a new level. At the heart of this wearable is the all-new X-Tap fingerprint sensor, designed to deliver 11 health metrics in just 60 seconds including heart rate, stress levels, ECGs, respiratory feedback, blood oxygen levels, and even blood vessel health. All by just tapping your finger. It’s basically the Apple Watch’s overachieving cousin who went to med school.
Even better? The Watch 5 doesn’t just collect data, it talks back. If something looks off, it gives you tailored advice, especially around sleep and heart health. And for anyone living that high-altitude hiking life or managing a respiratory condition, real-time blood oxygen readings in under 10 seconds are a literal breath of fresh air.
The HUAWEI Watch 5 plays just as hard as you do
From calls without your phone (thanks, eSIM), to accurate GPS tracking with upgraded navigation, the Watch 5 plays just as hard as you do. It supports over 100 sports modes, yes, even the niche ones like free diving and golf swings, plus a motivational sleep score and fitness rings for your daily dose of guilt-turned-gain.
And it’s not all brains, the Watch 5’s got beauty, too. The sleek titanium or stainless-steel build comes in trendy colourways like titanium purple and “sand gold.” With sapphire glass, LTPO 2.0 screen tech (read: brighter and better outdoors), and a featherlight design, it blends boardroom polish with gym-ready toughness.
The new gesture controls let you double-tap or slide with your fingers to snooze alarms
Hands full? No problem. The new gesture controls let you double-tap or slide with your fingers to snooze alarms, change tracks, or dismiss calls. All one-handed, perfect for those moments when you’re juggling a latte and your sanity.
Battery-wise, HUAWEI’s done the unthinkable: up to 11 days on Ultra-Long mode. Standard mode still gives you a solid 3-4.5 days depending on size, and with fast charging (just 60–90 minutes to 100%), you’re never far from 100%.
The Watch 5 starts at £399.99, but there’s a cheeky deal, buy it from HUAWEI’s official site before 29 June, and you’ll bag £50 off and a free watch strap. Consider it an early treat for your wrist and your wellbeing.
