The two styles are good, but I personally prefer the latter. But the reality is, after looking around at smartwatches, there aren't a lot of options.
In September, Glory officially released the Glory Watch GS Pro, which still has comprehensive health management features, but it's worth mentioning: the Glory Watch GS Pro is Glory's first smart outdoor sports watch, and it's a brand-new product line. It has a tough exterior design and meets 14 military-specification qualities; it's equipped with Huawei's Kirin A1, which means it's long supported the popular blood oxygen monitoring. In terms of professionalism, it also comes with an altitude barometer to support mountaineering and more.
Unlike other watches with a showy type of design, smartwatches are now ushering in the tough guy style.
We got this Honor Watch GS Pro in Carbonite Black. At the first sight of opening the package, if you are an outdoor control, then the shape of this watch should satisfy your preference.
The dial is 48mm, and the large dial design naturally isolates female users. However, for the outdoor enthusiasts who are in good shape, this should be a very pleasing design.
The overall ID design of the GS Pro is very rugged. Glory in the external design of a guide bezel, dial for the outdoor scene etching + oil filling treatment; stainless steel bezel through the highlights, should be after brushed and sandblasted and other multi-channel process, touch the dial, you can feel the sense of the gears multi-dimensional chipping details. The only two buttons are designed on the right side of the dial, which also adopts the stainless steel design.
The main material of the front dial is plastic + metal, while the back case is mainly plastic and the strap is made of Viton, which is more in line with the outdoor positioning.
Overall, this should be a shape that outdoor enthusiasts will love.
So much so, that riding a Harley wearing it is very biker, and taking a shot of Netflix is so flavorful -
Of course, it's not just surface work. Glory also says that the Glory Watch GS Pro passes 14 military standards, and the overall level is above similar competitors. This means that users can exercise outdoors, the watch can be more comfortable with a variety of harsh environments, such as low temperatures and low air pressure, as well as sand and dust and shock state, the glory watch GS Pro more rugged. 14 military regulations also include impregnation, solar radiation, as well as fluid contamination and so on. But we didn't take it to any harsh environments, and it accidentally knocked the corner of the table a few times during the test without leaving any marks.
Honor Watch GS Pro is a 1.39-inch AMOLED HD screen, the screen display resolution of 454 * 454, PPI for 326, in the test process, 48mm under the dial can not see the grain. Because of its positioning as an outdoor watch, its screen brightness is good under the external light.
The Honor Watch GS Pro supports the Dial Market function, with roughly dozens of free dials, but it feels like the majority of paid dials, which is an exclusive ecosystem Huawei has created and opened up to third-party design. We experienced a few dials, different dials show different information, like some show heart rate and steps, while some dials for outdoor scenarios are designed with maximum oxygen uptake as well as barometric pressure design.
This is the first time that the Kirin A1 has come to Honor's watch products. Kirin A1 is the first wearable chip from Huawei that supports both wireless audio devices and smartwatches, and is certified for Bluetooth 5.1 and Bluetooth Low Power 5.1 standards. It integrates a Bluetooth processing unit, an audio processing unit, an ultra-low-power application processor, and an independent high-efficiency power management unit in a compact size. Based on Kirin A1's highly efficient and stable connectivity, anti-interference capability, and audio processing power, smartwatches equipped with Kirin A1 are able to make Bluetooth-enabled calls and playback songs.
In practice, the sound of the song playback is a bit louder than other products, thanks to the larger volume of the watch with a larger playback unit.
Also because of the Kirin A1, features like situational intelligence will always be present, for example, when you're walking fast outdoors, it will suddenly pop up a reminder that you're exercising outdoors. Click on it to quickly go to the sports screen. This should be a combination of GPS and sensor sensing data.
This is one of the features that automatically recognizes workout status. When you enable auto workout status in the workout settings, the watch will remind you to start exercising when it senses that you are running a workout. You can ignore or tap to enter the corresponding workout state, which currently includes Walk, Run, Elliptical, and Rowing.
These scenarios are intelligently connected to Huawei's own sports health, and with the Kirin mobile chip and Kirin A1, Huawei's innovative "One Touch Transfer" technology for PCs is now also available on the Honor GS Pro Sports Watch. -When you take a photo with your Huawei phone or a photo in your phone's memory, you can turn it into the background of your watch dial with an NFC touch.
It's easy to activate sports by pressing the "down" button, which comes with 18 sports modes, but in addition to those 18, you can also add "Add Sport" and "Spinning" to the list. But in addition to these 18, you can also add up to 100 sports such as cycling and group exercise in the "Add sport" section.
One of the more unusual features in outdoor sports is the track animation and track return.
You can see that the track path is basically not jittery, and the GPS+Beidou calibration level is very good.
However, although the Honor Watch GS Pro is equipped with full health monitoring, such as blood oxygen, pressure, sleep and heart rate monitoring, and even supports arrhythmia, premature beat and atrial fibrillation screening in cooperation with hospitals, providing a closed-loop management service of premature beat screening, report interpretation, personalized guidance, and appointment booking.
But since it's an outdoor smartwatch, one problem is that I don't really want to wear it to bed. So the sleep monitoring feature actually felt optional. But also, because of the Kirin A1, it's all actually considered standard now.
It's also clear from this thinking that this is an all-in-one, "I want it all" product that comes standard with every conceivable feature. Of course, it's still a highly stylized professional outdoor watch underneath.
As we said at the beginning, there aren't too many competitors to choose from because of its positioning.
We are familiar with those smartwatches, such as the most similar Huawei Watch GT2 and GT2e did not join the military level, the official endurance data is not up to 25 days (preliminary estimates, the glory of the GS Pro should be an ordinary watch to see the time of the status of the endurance of 25 days); and the same as a price range of the OPPO Watch, Xiaomi watch sports mode is relatively Less, the same no military regulations, but more eSIM. so see, glory watch GS Pro outdoor grade should be compared to the outdoor products like Giameng and Songtuo, assuming that take the Giameng Fennix 6 Pro cross-grade comparison, Fennix 6 Pro support stronger 10ATM waterproof level and joined the snow map, golf map and other functions.
At $1599, the Honor Watch GS Pro is the "small steel gun" of outdoor watches.
The Honor Watch GS Pro is an outdoor watch.
