Save £30 across the range on the Huawei Watch GT6 – it comes loaded with cycling metrics and a ‘Virtual Cycling Power’ feature, plus free headphones worth £99

Huawei has launched its latest contenders in the best cycling watch category. The Huawei GT6 Pro and GT6 watches have an eye-catching cycling specification, and to mark the launch of the GT6, Huawei has introduced deals on both the Pro and standard models, offering £30 off, plus an exclusive Outdoor Edition bundle that also includes a free pair of Huawei FreeArc headphones (worth £99).

The GT6 comes with a load of appealing cycling features that you’d expect, on par with the majority of the best cycling watches from rival brands. They include what they claim to be super-accurate GPS and heart rate tracking, a battery life of up to 21 days, and (on the Pro version) ECG analysis, and a robust sapphire glass titanium build.

Of course, without testing, we are fairly confident and suspect that this won’t be anywhere as accurate as the best power meters, but for those seeking Huawei’s version of ‘basic’ power numbers without an additional crank-based power meter purchase, it could be an interesting feature at what is a real wallet-friendly price point.

The GT6 is also compatible with iOS and Android, and to sweeten the deal, Huawei will also throw in a free EasyFit 3 Strap. To take advantage of these smartwatch deals, you need to use the code ‘A30OFFGT6’ at checkout, which is applicable across the various purchase options, including the Outdoor Edition bundle.

As a brand new Huawei smartwatch, the GT6 Pro and GT6 have some appealing features, and if you’re looking for a brand away from one of the best Garmin smartwatches or an Apple Watch, the Huawei could be worthy of a look. The battery life claims certainly blow an Apple Watch away, and the interesting “Virtual Cycling Power” without any real data from Huawei has some appeal, but we remain sceptical about the accuracy there.

It’s certainly something the Cyclingnews tech team will be looking to put to the test in the near future. In the meantime, the spec alone, and with £30 off, makes it a pretty decent smartwatch option.

This deal is currently only available in the UK, but below are all the best Huawei Watch deals in your territory.
