Saltwater - acceptable, but rinse the watch with fresh water immediately afterwards

After using it in water:

Wipe the watch with a soft cloth to remove moisture
Let it dry completely before charging or storing it
Avoid very humid environments while drying

The watch is not compatible with saunas or high-pressure jets like steam cleaning.

Question 2

What should I do after using my Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro in water?

Accepted Answer

After using your Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro in water, here are the essential steps to take:

Cleaning and drying

Wipe the watch with a soft cloth to remove moisture and water residues (especially important after swimming in seawater)
Allow it to dry completely before storing or charging it

After swimming in seawater

Rinse the watch with fresh water to remove salt, which can damage the IP68 seals

Accepted Answer

According to the specifications of the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro, the watch can be submerged up to 1.5 meters deep for a maximum of 30 minutes.

It is not suitable for scuba diving

In practice, you can wear your watch at the pool or beach without risk, but do not submerge it beyond 1.5 m or for more than 30 consecutive minutes.

Question 4

Can I activate and use the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro without the Huawei Health app?

Accepted Answer

No, activating the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro requires the Huawei Health app.

Here’s why and how to proceed:

Mandatory activation procedure

The watch turns on by pressing and holding the Top button or by charging it (it has wireless charging)
However, pairing and initial setup must go through the Huawei Health app
You need to download Huawei Health from AppGallery (Android) or the App Store (iOS), scan the provided QR code, and then follow the pairing instructions in the Devices section of the app

Features available after activation

Once paired via Huawei Health, the watch offers many standalone features:

Heart rate monitoring (built-in sensor)
GPS and geolocation
Water resistance IP68 & 5ATM for swimming and water sports
Battery life of up to 14 days
Integrated NFC for contactless payments

The dependency on Huawei Health is limited to the initial activation and certain advanced features. The watch operates largely autonomously on a daily basis once set up.

Question 5

How to activate the always-on display function (常時オン) on the HUAWEI Band 8?

Accepted Answer

The HUAWEI Band 8 does not offer the always-on display function (常時オン) on its screen. This feature, which would allow the screen to be always on, is not integrated into this model in order to optimize battery life.

Here’s what you can do:

Use the automatic screen wake function by raising your wrist, which is available on the Band 8.
Customize the screen display duration when activated in the watch settings.

If you are looking for a device with an always-on display, you will need to consider another smartwatch model that supports this feature.
