The Huawei Watch 6 Pro supports dual-band GNSS and can record routes independently of a smartphone. For our real-world test, we compared the smartwatch with the Garmin Venu 2 during a bike ride of around 9.3 kilometers. <\/p>\n
The results are convincing overall. While the Garmin recorded a distance of 9.33 kilometers, the Huawei Watch 6 Pro measured 9.38 kilometers. The difference is just 50 meters, or around 0.5%. The recorded routes also match closely over much of the ride. <\/p>\n
A closer look reveals some minor inaccuracies, however. On the paths around the lake, the two recorded routes mostly remain close together. At some intersections and around bends, the Huawei watch deviates slightly more from the actual route. Minor offsets and occasional outliers are also visible between buildings. Overall, however, route tracking remains good. <\/p>\n
More significant differences emerge in the recorded elevation gain. While the Garmin Venu 2 recorded a total ascent of 36 meters, the Huawei Watch 6 Pro reported 81 meters. Comparing both routes with Google Earth’s terrain profile reveals nearly identical elevation profiles, but also numerous minor fluctuations in elevation. Since Google Earth calculates elevations using its own terrain data, this comparison does not reliably establish which watch measures the actual total ascent more accurately. <\/p>\n
For navigation, Huawei offers offline maps and the ability to transfer routes to the watch. The Watch 6 Pro also features a dedicated outdoor expedition mode designed to make navigation easier on longer hikes, among other activities. This makes the smartwatch suitable not only for recording workouts but also for navigating without a smartphone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Huawei Watch 6 Pro supports dual-band GNSS and can record routes independently of a smartphone.
