Huawei GT Runner ( all black ): purchased in November 2022. I use it for running, hiking and biking. HR sensor is very good ( I also have Polar H10 for comparison ) and the GPS is also decent ( been tested many times while hiking and trail running in the mountains, also running and biking ). It's very light, comfortable, performance is way better than you would get in many devices that are 2-3 times the price. I don't use it for talking on it, media, notifications, music, etc. - it's strictly for looking at the time, sleep tracking ( it's by far the most accurate, but it can be used as an indicator of sleep quality after a while, when you get the "hang" of it ), heart rate and for tracking sports. Battery time is around 6 days for me - almost everything is turned on ( HR monitoring is real-time ), except stress. I run 5-6 times a week, averaging around 70-75 km / 44-47 miles. I paid 620 RON or 124 EUR or 134 USD ( back in Nov. 2022 ). Should Huawei stick to this formula and release a v.2, with improved sensors, GPS, sleep tracking, at least the same battery life performance, I would buy it, even if the price were to be x2. Cheers!

Waiting for in-depth reviews to see how accurate heart and sleep tracking are but you've certainly wetted my appetite! I just watched a long review of the heart tracking on the Huawei Band 9 which, unfortunately, fell well short of the Band 8 that I have. At the moment, I wear a Huawei Band 8 for heart tracking and a Fitbit Inspire 3 for sleep tracking, both being best in class at their price point at those particular things - that is, if you can't stretch to the accuracy king of the Apple Watch, which was you say, is expensive and irritating that you have to charge it every 24hrs! It's a bit of a nuisance wearing two devices, so I was thinking about the entry level Apple watch. Hmm. I will dig deeper. Intrigued! Really interested in how helpful the software features sound. Helpful review, thanks!

Biggest issue with this watch is, does not have hiking mode (no altitude meter). And if you get multiple messages from one person, example viber, you will be able to see only last one.
