Performance in cycling isn’t just about watts, cadence or how fast you crest the next climb – it’s about understanding your effort and recovery on a deeper level. That’s exactly where the new Huawei GT 6 Pro comes in.

Recently unveiled in Paris and now available in South Africa, Huawei’s latest performance smart watch features elite-level training intelligence, endurance-focused design and impressive battery life – up to 21 days on a single charge. For cyclists chasing gains on the road, trail or trainer, it’s a compelling all-in-one training partner.

Train with Purpose

The standout feature is Cycling Virtual Power – a world-first feature that estimates your power output using speed, gradient and rider data. Through extensive simulations and wind-resistance modelling, it delivers results comparable to professional power meters, giving riders meaningful power insight without having to buy or install the extra hardware.

The watch also supports FTP (Functional Threshold Power) measurement and virtual cadence tracking, putting advanced performance metrics directly on your wrist. Whether you’re dialling in your threshold efforts or keeping an eye on your pacing during a long ride, the GT 6 Pro gives you real-time, actionable data.

Add dual-band GPS accuracy, reliable tracking (even in mountainous terrain) and the ability to sync routes from your phone, and the watch quickly becomes a capable cycling computer alternative, especially for those who value simplicity.

Smarter Recovery, Better Riding

Cyclists know that progress doesn’t just happen on the bike; it’s what you do between rides that counts. The GT 6’s new TruSense health management system uses multi-sensor data and AI modelling to analyse recovery.

With enhanced sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring and stress analysis, the watch goes beyond measuring effort to help you manage fatigue and maintain consistency. Over time, that insight translates into smarter training decisions and better on-bike performance.

Designed for Life

The GT 6 Pro features a 1.47-inch AMOLED display (5.5% bigger than before), sapphire glass for scratch resistance, and an aviation-grade titanium body. Visibility is excellent, even in full sun.

The 46 mm model comes in three finishes – with a black elastomer strap for sporty rides; with a woven brown strap for classic everyday wear; or with a silver titanium bracelet for that ultra-refined look. Lighter, smaller 41 mm versions are also available, offering the same performance in a sleeker package.

Endurance to Match Your Training

Battery life remains one of Huawei’s strongest draw cards. The GT 6 Pro lasts up to 21 days with light use; or up to 40 hours of continuous operation in dual-band GPS mode – plenty of juice for an ultra-distance ride or a weekend adventure.

For cyclists training across multiple sports, there’s plenty of crossover value, too. The GT 6 Pro supports more than 100 workout modes, including trail running, golf, and skiing, each with its own intelligent tracking and data analysis.

Connected, Intuitive, Ready to Go

The GT 6 Pro integrates seamlessly with Huawei, iOS and Android devices through the HUAWEI Health app. You can review ride data, analyse trends and manage training goals via a single, clean interface. Notifications, calls and music control are easily handled mid-ride.

The Takeaway

The Huawei  GT 6 Pro delivers an impressive blend of accuracy, endurance and design. It’s a great choice for riders who want data-driven training without the complexity or constant charging demands of traditional cycling computers or other smart watches.
