[ Gearbest Technology News]According to “Xinsheng Community”, as of June 2025, Huawei's global shipment volume has exceeded 200 million. Among them, the WATCH GT series has shipped more than 52 million units, becoming one of the most representative product lines in the field of smart wearables.
Dai Xiaofeng, director of Huawei's Smart Wearing Product Management Department, revealed that the success of Huawei's GT series begins with an accurate grasp of user needs. When the first generation of WATCH GT was released in 2018, the team took “ultra-long battery life” as the core selling point, breaking the industry bottleneck of smartwatches that generally had only one day battery life at that time. Through innovative battery layout and hardware architecture design, it has achieved a two-week use time and quickly won market attention. Since then, Huawei GT 2 has introduced Bluetooth calling function and created a dial market ecosystem, which has greatly improved user experience and product stickiness, and achieved explosive growth in sales.
During the Huawei GT 3 stage, the team was once caught in the “message misunderstanding”, over-pursuing technical parameters and ignoring the actual needs of mass consumers. This lesson prompted the product strategy to return to its essence, refocusing on the upgrade of appearance and material on Huawei GT 3 Pro, launching a ceramic version, successfully attracting users who focus on fashion and quality.
The Huawei GT 4 series has achieved major breakthroughs in design language, adopting octagonal geometric aesthetics, breaking the aesthetic formula of traditional circular dials and reshaping product recognition. With its differentiated design and multi-scenario adaptability, Huawei GT 4's sales almost doubled compared to the previous generation and won the first quality award in Huawei's wearable field.
Entering the sixth-generation technology accumulation period, Huawei has equipped the newly upgraded “Xuanji” perception system for the first time in the GT 5 series, bringing a faster, more accurate and more comprehensive sports and health monitoring experience. The system is built on the sixth-generation PPG sensor module, and for the first time, the ultra-light insulation glass technology is applied in the entire series of products, promoting the industrial chain to achieve a leap from zero to million-level production capacity. In addition, Huawei GT 5 has also innovatively introduced emotional health assistants and cute pet dials to visualize their mental state and enhance user interaction fun.
