Quick Verdict

Winner: Huawei Watch GT 4

The Huawei Watch GT 4 edges out with a higher score, premium build quality, and the inclusion of NFC for payments.

Key Differences

  • Operating System: Amazfit GTR 4 runs on Zepp OS while Huawei Watch GT 4 uses HarmonyOS.
  • Bluetooth Version: Huawei Watch GT 4 supports Bluetooth 5.2, compared to Amazfit GTR 4's Bluetooth 5.0.
  • NFC Payments: Only the Huawei Watch GT 4 offers NFC for contactless payments.

Design & Build

Both watches feature a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with identical resolutions, encased in durable materials. The Amazfit GTR 4, at 34 grams, is significantly lighter than the 48-gram Huawei Watch GT 4, potentially offering more comfort for extended wear. Aesthetically, both models boast elegant designs, but the Huawei Watch GT 4's premium build gives it a slight edge in appearance and perceived quality.

Performance

In real-world usage, both smartwatches offer smooth navigation and responsive interfaces, thanks to their powerful processors and optimized operating systems. The Huawei Watch GT 4's newer Bluetooth 5.2 technology may provide more stable connections and longer range compared to the Amazfit GTR 4. Both watches excel in battery life, lasting up to 14 days on a single charge under typical usage scenarios.

Value Analysis

Considering the price difference, the Amazfit GTR 4 offers excellent value for its features, especially for users prioritizing fitness tracking over payment functionality. The Huawei Watch GT 4, while more expensive, justifies its higher price with a premium build and NFC payments, appealing to those who value these additions.
