Smartwatches represent a new generation of technology: With these small, digital all-rounders, you can read your e-mails and text messages, log your health data or make phone calls. But that’ just the beginning: these watches can detect when their owner falls and call for help in an emergency. At the same time, they also look chic.
Available in a slim, minimalist round design or as an angular variant, smartwatches are a handy companion during sports, at work or during leisure time. These electronic wristwatches monitor sleep, serve as a navigation system and are capable of playing music. They are usually linked to a smartphone and must be compatible with its operating system. The performance spectrum is far greater than that of an analog watch from classic watch manufacturers.

While Huawei introduced the titanium Watch GT2 Pro last fall, they also are selling the rugged Watch GS Pro under the Honor brand. That is exactly the same technology with a larger battery (which can last up to three weeks) and a rugged case. Huawei’s watches used to cost round 370 dollars, but now you can get them for around 230 dollars, but an Honor is perhaps twenty dollars cheaper.
The Watch GS Pro is water resistant up to 50 meters and complies with the MIL-STD 810G military standard. To put it in a nutshell, that means it won’t be buffeted by salt, sand, or anything else. The operating temperature range of -40 to 70 °C is also impressive. This watch is available with a rubber or textile strap, and the price-performance ratio is very interesting.
