Honor Watch GS Pro Review, Features Various Mediocre Designs | Droidcops

Honor Watch GS Pro is here to close the end of 2020 and expands the series of Honor’s smartwatch products. This cheap smartwatch has a myriad of features that can be used in daily activities well.

So, how is the original performance of the Honor Watch GS Pro? Here are the results of a Droidcops review that has tried to use the GS Pro as a daily smartwatch.

Design

The design of the Honor Watch GS Pro looks very sturdy with materials that are guaranteed to be water-resistant, impact-resistant, and scratched. It has a minimalist impression as a smartwatch with a relatively thin outer bezel.

It has large physical curves, it even looks very large for a 48mm size when compared to the Samsung Galaxy Watch. It’s 15mm thick and weighs 45.5g, to be honest, when you use it, your hands feel tight and full.

The Honor GS Pro itself has passed the military-grade IL-STD-810G test, is water resistant to 50 meters, and has a stainless steel bezel.

This Honor smartwatch is very promising when it comes to sturdiness, we didn’t even think about it when we tried to submerge it in a pool of water for a few hours.

Around the screen there is an elevated stainless steel bezel, it’s not very big, but it can protect the screen from impact to some extent.

Screen

Equipped with a 1.39-inch AMOLED touch screen with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels and a maximum brightness of 800 nits.

This makes the Honor Watch GS Pro appear to resemble the Magic Watch 2, as it looks similar, although there are a few tweaks.

Performance

The Honor Watch GS Pro still runs Huawei LiteOS, not much has changed here from the software of previous Honor watch products. However, this model has many new health and wellness features added.

The watch face is arranged in such a way to focus heavily on health and wellness. Shifting from the home screen display, you will find the heart rate counter, weather, music player, and sleep features.

Navigation feels smooth and intuitive, apps and menus are also responsive, opening or closing very quickly.

Features such as the music player are able to automatically detect every music application on the cellphone such as Spotify, JOOX, to Youtube Music. The weather app also always provides accurate predictions.

The remote shutter feature allows you to take pictures on your phone without having to touch your smartphone, perfect for wefies and selfies. Works well on the Android phones we’ve used, though not Honor phones or Huawei phones.

Unfortunately, you can only read notifications on your watch, but you can’t view images you send or reply to messages directly from the smartwatch.

Also, unlike previous Honor watches, the GS Pro has built-in GPS, so you don’t need to have your phone paired with Bluetooth to get accurate location data.

Using the Honor Watch GS Pro is quite easy, this is what made us less fussy. No need to download and install a lot of linked applications, just use the Huawei Health application as the user interface for setting up all the functions on the Honor smartwatch.

There are about 100 fitness tracking modes inside the GS Pro, we conclude that the original function of this smartwatch is to help users maintain fitness.

Various forms of sports tracking features are embedded in this cellphone, ranging from running, cycling to special things such as belly dancing, to kendo.

Each one gives you multiple metrics, from distance, duration, and calories burned to speed.

It even records your cadence, changes in altitude, how well you’ve improved from your previous workout, and the recommended time until you should do your next workout.

Honor Watch GS Pro also provides a series of virtual courses like Watch 2. Very informative, with this feature you can choose a workout program model and it will automatically provide you with guidance during your workout.

We weren’t too keen on using this smartwatch to monitor sleep, its size made it inconvenient to wear at night.

Battery

The Honor Watch GS Pro has a very impressive battery life. Especially for those of you who are used to the Apple Watch, you might be surprised because Apple smartwatches tend to only last about a day.

The battery life is probably the best part about other smartwatches. It lasts longer than all the smartwatches we’ve tried.

The battery of this Honor smartwatch can last up to 7 days with normal use, even still 12% left when we did the charging.

As for users who are diligent in exercising, GS Pro is able to accompany you within 4 days with the active use of all features, in this case fitness.

Honor states that the Watch GS Pro lasts 28 days on a full battery, and that’s true. After we did an experiment, without using this smartwatch, the battery was able to last 30 days, meaning 2 days longer than Honor claims.

Conclusion

Despite having a simple design, the Honor Watch GS Pro is able to provide user comfort very well.

Starting from a sturdy design, a steel bezel with good quality scratch-resistant that protects the screen, to complete features for a cheap smartwatch price.

If you decide to have a smartwatch with long-lasting and durable quality, the GS Pro can be a worthy recommendation to have.
