It relies primarily on magnets to stay put, but there are also some mechanical parts that lock together.
There are three shell versions - Urban, Sports, and Fashion. All of them have a 1.32” circular AMOLED with a 466 x 466 resolution and 352 PPI. The first and third designs have a nano-crystal ceramic body and 316L fine steel, while the sportsy one is made of composite fiber materials.
Weight is respectively 77 grams, 59 grams, and 58 grams, and this includes both the watch and its strap.
The Huawei Watch GT Cyber is a familiar affair on the inside - a well-known HarmonyOS-based user interface, over 100 sports modes, the latest and greatest Huawei tech for sleep tracking, SpO2 tracking, and heart rate measurements. It has its own GPS, supports NFC and connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth.
Huawei equipped the watch with a coil for wireless charging on any Qi charger. It claims it can last for 4 days of heavy usage, while more moderate users will go about 7 days on a single charge.
