This reliability lets me track every part of my workout, from distance and pace to elevation and heart rate. Afterwards, I can analyze the entire session to see where I can improve. For an endurance athlete like me, having this level of data makes a huge difference — it gives me the confidence that every step I take is counted and every effort truly matters.

b) Analyzing Route Import & Simulation:
Running on new roads feels less intimidating when I’ve already previewed the route with my watch

One afternoon after training, I was casually scrolling through my outdoor run history on the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro. I like reviewing my stats — the distance, the pace, the heart rate. But that day, I started exploring the menus out of curiosity, just tapping around to see what else the watch could do.

That’s when I noticed something called “Export Route File.” I tapped it, not really knowing what to expect — and suddenly realized that I could save my entire outdoor route and use it again later. I was honestly surprised. I didn’t think my watch could do that!

A few days later, I decided to test it out. I imported one of my favorite training routes from the HUAWEI Health app back into the watch. When I went for my next run, the route appeared right on the screen — showing every turn and elevation change. It even gave me real-time guidance, so I could follow the same path without checking my phone or worrying about getting lost.

Now, I use this feature all the time. It’s especially useful before a race in a new location. I can preview and practice the entire course virtually — I already know where the climbs, descents, and sharp corners are. When race day comes, nothing feels unfamiliar.

Discovering this by accident turned out to be one of the most practical features I’ve ever used. It’s like the watch quietly became my personal route planner and coach, helping me train smarter and race with confidence.

c) Checkpoint Estimation

Training in Pangalengan offers many routes: tea gardens with soft grass that reduces impact, asphalt roads for speed work, and hilly terrain for building strength. Here the Checkpoint Estimation feature of the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro is extremely useful. I can mark hydration points, elevation changes, or key turns in the HUAWEI Health app and sync them to the watch. During training, the watch reminds me when I’m approaching these checkpoints, just like in a real race. For marathon runners, this mirrors the official race maps with water stations, helping us train with the same level of planning we’ll need on competition day.

d) Pace Calibration

One of the most common challenges in training is keeping a steady pace. Often, my first kilometer is either too fast or too slow, forcing me to adjust later. Trying to calculate the difference in seconds while running is distracting and takes focus away from my form. The Pace Calibration feature of the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro, also shown as Time Ahead/Behind, solves this problem. The watch automatically tracks my splits and shows me exactly how far I am off my target pace. This keeps me consistent in intervals, tempo runs, or long sessions.

Additionally, when we train as endurance athletes, performance is not just about speed or heart rate. Running form including balance between legs and vertical oscillation is just as important, because it directly affects efficiency, and long-term sustainability. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro even tells you what the results mean and gives you insights. Monitoring running form metrics like leg balance and vertical oscillation is key for both performance and injury prevention. Even small imbalances between legs can create muscle overload and long-term strain, while excessive bounce wastes energy that should be used to move forward.

By measuring these details, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro helps me become more efficient, economical, and consistent. It turns subtle biomechanics into clear data, showing whether your stride is smooth, balanced, and energy-saving.

e) Heart Rate & Battery Performance

The heart rate monitoring on the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro has also improved significantly. Readings are now more accurate and responsive, helping me combine workout intensity with my body’s real-time condition. The need for chest straps or extra accessories is reduced; the watch delivers all the necessary insights I need. And despite this higher precision, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro has an up to 21 days battery life battery life, which is much higher than previous versions. For long training camps in the highlands or marathon preparation, this reliability is essential.
