Recently, the 14th FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) were held in full swing in Hangzhou. Swimming stars such as Sun Yang, Fu Yuanhui, and Wang Jianjiahe gathered at the competition, drawing massive attention. Currently, swimming has become one of the most-watched sports in China, and it has also attracted many fitness enthusiasts to take up the sport. Swimming not only helps shape muscle lines and enhance muscle strength, but also burns significantly more calories in water than in air at the same temperature.
However, some beginners often fail to achieve optimal results due to incorrect swimming techniques. Recently, Huawei launched a smart sports watch—the HUAWEI WATCH GT—which not only offers great waterproofing for swimming but also helps users analyze their strokes and training data. Even Malaysian diver Pandelela Rinong wears it in her daily life and workouts.

The watch offers 5ATM waterproofing, keeping you company even in the pool
Pandelela Rinong is the first Malaysian athlete in history to win a medal in Olympic diving. Like other athletes, she trains extremely hard to achieve top performance. A recent short video she posted on Instagram shows that even on Christmas Eve, Pandelela didn’t take a break.
Attentive netizens also noticed that Pandelela wears a black sports smartwatch during her daily runs and swims. Judging by its appearance, it’s the newly launched HUAWEI WATCH GT. As a result, many commented that while they already knew the watch had outstanding battery life, they didn’t expect its waterproofing and sports features to be so impressive as well.
Waterproof watches are generally divided into regular waterproof and professional waterproof types. Regular waterproof watches usually only protect against splashes, while professional waterproof watches can withstand immersion at various depths. The industry has specific standards for determining whether a watch is regular or professionally waterproof. These can be classified into 30m, 50m, 100m, 300m, and 500m ratings. The stated depth refers not to actual underwater depth but to water pressure. For example, when a product is labeled as 3ATM, it means it's waterproof up to 30 meters—suitable for everyday scenarios but not for swimming.
The HUAWEI WATCH GT offers 50-meter waterproofing. It’s perfectly fine to wear during daily workouts, outdoor runs in the rain, or while swimming.
Mountain, sea, and beyond—unlock your urban exploration mode
In addition to its strong waterproofing, the professional sports capabilities of the HUAWEI WATCH GT are also reflected in its support for multiple activity modes and a scientific training system. You can find modes for mountain climbing, trail running, outdoor cycling, pool swimming, outdoor walking, and outdoor running on the watch. In different scenarios, it provides detailed data such as time, distance, cadence, steps, pace, calories, and training status.

When swimming in pools or open water, the HUAWEI WATCH GT offers dedicated swimming functions, supporting automatic stroke recognition, stroke count tracking, and automatic calculation of the SWOLF efficiency index. It also tracks data such as distance, time, calories, stroke frequency, and pace. Just like Malaysia’s swimming queen, you can effortlessly record every detail of your aquatic performance. Moreover, through deep technical collaboration with FirstBeat, a globally authoritative sports algorithm company, the Huawei WATCH GT can also provide users with intelligent assessments of their athletic ability. By comprehensively tracking sports data, the watch builds a science-based training guidance method centered around heart rate. If you’re new to exercise, you can try Huawei WATCH GT’s running courses before starting any workout routine to improve your cardiovascular function, endurance, and burn fat.

In fact, besides professional athletes, several well-known influencers have also fallen for the Huawei WATCH GT after trying it out. @C科技 said: “The Huawei WATCH GT has professional sports modes—for example, marathon runners use the Huawei WATCH GT for pacing.” @全球工业设计 added: “The Watch GT lasts two weeks on a single charge and provides accurate GPS tracking on land and sea. Its built-in coach gives real-time guidance for your activities to help maximize your performance.”
