Nowadays, the main healthy smart watches are divided into two categories: one is to go towards the shape design and the style of fashion items, this type of watch basically has the usual available functional equipment, taking the route of refinement and taste; the other type should be to the outdoor professional route to go, it is somewhat similar to Jiaming, Songtuo and other product-level positioning, people buy it is often because of its irreplaceable professional functions.
Both styles are good, but I prefer the latter. But the reality is that after looking at a circle of smart watches, I found that there are not many options.
In September, Honor officially released the Honor Watch GS Pro, which still has comprehensive health management functions, but it is worth mentioning that the Honor Watch GS Pro is Honor's first smart outdoor sports watch, which is a new product series. It has a tough exterior design and meets 14 military quality; it is equipped with Huawei's Kirin A1, which means it has long supported the popular blood oxygen monitoring. In terms of professionalism, it is also equipped with an altitude barometer to support mountaineering, etc.
Different from the handsome design of other watches, now smart watches have also ushered in a tough guy style.
We got this Honor watch GS Pro is carbonite black. At the first glance of the package, if you are an outdoor control, then the shape of this watch should be able to meet your preferences.
This dial is 48mm, and the design of the large dial naturally isolates female users. However, for those who love outdoor sports, this should be a very flattering design.
The overall ID design of the Honor Watch GS Pro is very rugged. Honor designed a guide bezel on the outside, the dial is etched for outdoor scenes + oil filling treatment; the stainless steel bezel is highlighted, which should be through multiple processes such as drawing and sandblasting, and if you touch the dial, you can feel the gear sense multi-dimensional cutting details. The only two buttons are designed on the right side of the dial, and also use a stainless steel design.
The main material of the front dial is plastic + metal, the back shell is mainly plastic, and the strap is made of fluoroelastomer, which is more in line with outdoor positioning.
Overall, this should be a look that all outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy.
So much so that riding Harley put on it very locomotive, take a picture of the Internet celebrity, is also so flavor -
Of course, this is not just surface work. Honor also said that the Honor watch GS Pro passed 14 military standards, and the overall level was above similar competitors. This means that users can exercise outdoors, and the watch can more calmly cope with various harsh environments, such as low temperature and low air pressure, as well as sand and dust and shock conditions, and the Honor watch GS Pro is more robust. The 14 military regulations also include impregnation, solar radiation and fluid contamination. However, we did not take it to any harsh environment, and during the test, we accidentally bumped the corner of the table several times, leaving no trace.
Honor watch GS Pro uses a 1.39-inch AMOLED HD screen, the screen display resolution reaches 454 * 454, the PPI is 326, in the test process, the 48mm dial can not see the grainy feeling. And because of the positioning of the outdoor watch itself, it is displayed well on the outside of the screen brightness under light.
Honor watch GS Pro supports the dial market function, free dials are about dozens of kinds, but it feels like the majority of paid dials, which is also an exclusive ecosystem created by Huawei, and is open to third-party design. In several dials we experienced, different dials displayed different information, like some showing heart rate and steps, while some outdoor scenes had vokebox maximum and air pressure designs.
This is the first time that the Kirin A1 has come to honor's watch products. The Kirin A1 is Huawei's first wearable chip that supports both wireless audio devices and smartwatches, and is certified to the Bluetooth 5.1 and Bluetooth Low Power 5.1 standards, integrating a Bluetooth processing unit, an audio processing unit, an ultra-low-power application processor, and a separate high-efficiency power management unit in a small size. Based on the efficient and stable connection performance and anti-interference ability of Kirin A1, audio processing capabilities, etc., smart watches equipped with Kirin A1 have realized Functions such as Bluetooth receiving calls and song playback.
In the actual experience, the sound of the song should be larger than other products, which should be due to the increase in the size of the watch equipped with a larger external playback unit.
Also because of the Kirin A1, functions similar to scenario intelligence will always appear, such as when you walk fast outdoors, it will suddenly pop up a reminder, are you exercising outdoors? Tap to quickly enter the motion screen. This should be a combination of GPS and sensor sensing data.
This is one of the features that automatically recognizes the status of the workout. When you enable automatic recognition of workout status in your workout settings, your watch will remind you to start exercising when it senses you're running an exercise. You can ignore or click into the corresponding state of motion, which currently includes walking, running, elliptical and rowing machine sports.
These scenarios intelligently connect the sports health of Huawei mobile phones, with the cooperation of Kirin mobile phone chips and Kirin A1, Huawei's innovative "one touch pass" technology in the PC field is now also adapted to the Honor GS Pro sports watch - when users use Huawei mobile phones to take photos or photos of mobile phone memory, they can be converted into watch dial backgrounds through NFC touch.
The way to activate the movement is more convenient, press the "down" button, here comes with 18 sports modes, but in addition to these 18, in the "add sports", you can also add "dynamic cycling" and "group exercises" and other up to 100 sports.
In outdoor sports, one of the more special features is trajectory animation and trajectory return.
You can see that the trajectory path is basically no jitter, and the calibration level of GPS+ Beidou is very good.
However, while honor watches GS Pro is equipped with complete health monitoring, such as blood oxygen, stress, sleep and heart rate monitoring, it even supports arrhythmia, premature beats, atrial fibrillation screening in cooperation with hospitals, providing closed-loop management services for early beat screening, report interpretation, personalized guidance and appointments.
But since it's an outdoor smartwatch, one problem is that I don't really want to sleep with it on. Therefore, the function of sleep monitoring is actually dispensable. However, it is also because of the Kirin A1, which is now actually counted as standard.
It can also be seen from this idea that this is an all-round product that standards all the functions that can be imagined, and "I want to type it all". Of course, its outerwear is still a professional outdoor watch with very obvious stylization.
As we said at the beginning, due to its positioning, there are not many relevant competitors to choose from.
Among those smart watches that we are familiar with, such as the most similar Huawei Watch GT2 and GT2e, they have not joined the military level, and the official battery life data has not been as long as 25 days (preliminary estimates, the Honor GS Pro should be an ordinary watch to see the state of time can last for 25 days); and the OPPO Watch and Xiaomi Watch Sports Mode, which are also in a price segment, are relatively few, and there is no military rule, but there is more eSIM. In this way, the outdoor level of the Honor Watch GS Pro should be compared with the outdoor products like Jiaming and Songtuo, assuming that the Jiaming Fennix 6 Pro cross-level comparison, Fennix 6 Pro supports a stronger 10ATM waterproof level and added pistes map, golf map and other functions.
Judging from the positioning of 1599 yuan, the Honor Watch GS Pro is a "small steel cannon" in outdoor watches.
