This version marks the first time intricate handcrafted gold-alloyed techniques are used in Huawei’s smartwatches. This meticulous process involves over 17 complex handcrafted procedures that demand the utmost precision and attention to detail. The use of refined pinstripe techniques ensures a precise, dedicated, and flawless execution, resulting in a timepiece that reflects elevated sophistication and superior craftsmanship.

Except for the more exciting designs, everything else about these premium smartwatches remains the same as the other WATCH GT 4 versions. So you get all the great features you love about the watch, including the exceptional battery life of up to 14 days on the 46mm and up to 7 days on the 41mm.
