Huawei Watch GT 7 vs Watch GT 6 specs comparison
The GT 7 is the one to buy new, but GT 6 owners don't have a compelling reason to upgrade. Huawei has added newer software, readiness-style insights and refinements to its sports tracking, but GT 6 already has dual-band GNSS, a 3,000-nit display and up to 21 days of battery life. If the GT 6 becomes substantially cheaper, it remains a very sensible buy.
