The 42 mm Huawei Watch 6 weighs 38 grams without its strap. Alongside this lightweight model, the range includes the Watch GT 7 and GT 7 Pro, which differ in materials, dimensions and battery life.
Huawei presented the models on 3 September 2026 at an event in Munich. The company also introduced the Watch GT 7 and GT 7 Pro globally, while the Watch 6 is due to reach the market on 23 September 2026. The range includes multiple sizes and colour variants.
Watch 6 and GT 7 Pro: lightweight or premium design
According to the stated figures, the 42 mm Huawei Watch 6 is the lightest watch in the brand's history. Its weight of 38 grams without the strap may make it comfortable for all-day wear and sport.
The Huawei Watch GT 7 Pro has a 46 mm titanium case, a ceramic bezel and sapphire glass. Compared with the smaller Watch 6, it offers a larger case and different materials. The choice depends largely on whether you prefer a lighter watch or premium materials and a larger case.
HarmonyOS 6.1 and sports features
The Watch GT 7 Pro runs HarmonyOS 6.1. The operating system supports the watch's functions and manages its resources, including the battery.
The new watches' sports features include skiing and snowboarding tracking indoors without a GPS signal. This extends activity tracking to places where satellite signals are unavailable or unreliable. The available information does not specify which models support this feature.
Battery life: up to 21 days depending on the mode
The 46 mm Huawei Watch GT 7 offers up to 21 days of battery life with light use. For the Watch GT 7 Pro, the stated figures are 12 days with typical use, up to 21 days in power-saving mode and approximately 51 hours of trail running tracking.
These figures apply to different usage patterns, so they cannot be directly compared as battery life under the same conditions. When choosing a model, consider whether you will mainly wear it day to day or also use it to record longer sports activities.
