Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro owners, get ready for a handy upgrade! The latest HarmonyOS 6 update (version 6.0.0.20) introduces a game-changing feature: tap-to-pay. This means you can now make payments with a simple tap of your smartwatch, no need to fumble for your phone or wallet.
But wait, there's more to this update than meets the eye. The Huawei Watch GT 5 series, launched in September 2024, offers a standard and Pro model, both with eye-catching colors like Titanium Silver and Obsidian Black. These watches are built to last with an impressive 14-day battery life, ensuring you stay connected and stylish.
And here's where it gets even more exciting for Pro users: the new HarmonyOS beta build brings a host of additional features. You can now customize your watch face with fun stickers, choosing from three layouts and displaying up to five images at once. Plus, the 'Module 2025' watch face lets you mix and match widgets of different sizes and easily change theme colors to suit your style.
But the real star of the show is the Alipay integration. With the tap-to-pay feature, you can effortlessly complete payments by raising your wrist and tapping the screen, even when the watch is off. However, security is paramount, so if you have a lock screen password, you'll need to enter it to authorize payments.
This innovative feature, though, is currently exclusive to Chinese users. Huawei has not yet announced plans to release it globally, leaving international fans eager for their turn.
Tech enthusiast Deng Li, a long-time Huawei user, is no doubt thrilled with this update. His journey with Huawei began with the Ascend Mate 2 (4G), and he continues to explore the brand's ecosystem, always on the lookout for the next big thing. When he's not diving into the latest tech, you'll find him tending to his garden, a peaceful contrast to the digital world.
