Train smarter and ride stronger with the HUAWEI Watch GT 6 Series. Cyclists can now track real-time power data straight from their wrist. Think of a cyclist as an engine; the measure of that engine’s performance is known as cycling power. In simple terms, the more power you produce, the faster you ride and the harder you work. By tracking your cycling power, you gain valuable insight into your fitness and performance on the bike, helping you manage your energy more efficiently and train with greater precision.
Virtual Power: The HUAWEI Solution
Traditional cycling power meters can be expensive. Furthermore, setting them up or adjusting them for different bikes is often technical and complicated, which is often enough to put off many cycling enthusiasts who opt to just “go it the old way.” The HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series is the first smartwatch to put cycling virtual power directly on your wrist. This means cyclists can access real-time power data without investing in a dedicated power meter. Delivering precision data comparable to what you would expect from professional cycling gear, the watch elevates the riding experience for enthusiasts by offering a more sophisticated and expert-level approach to tracking performance.
All Your Cycling Metrics, Right On Your Wrist
Wind resistance, or air resistance, is the frictional force exerted by air that works against a cyclist’s motion.2 At higher speeds, wind resistance becomes the dominant obstacle for cyclists.3 Put simply, much of the energy expended while cycling goes into overcoming this drag. That’s why accurately measuring wind resistance is crucial for determining true power output.
To gather accurate wind resistance data, Huawei teamed up with a state-of-the-art wind tunnel lab. Together, they ran meticulously controlled tests across 1,155 different scenarios, spanning 11 body types, five popular bike categories (including road, mountain, commuter, foldable, and shared bikes), and seven wind speeds ranging from 10 to 50 km/h. The extensive data collected is the backbone of the advanced cycling power model for the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series.
Thanks to its virtual power algorithm, you simply input key details like your height, weight, and bike type, and the watch will calculate your cycling power for you. It keeps the margin of error within $\pm 15$ W, almost as precise as a dedicated power meter. Best of all, you can check your cycling power right from your wrist, with no extra equipment needed.
All-in-one Cycling Companion
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series goes far beyond expectations. Equipped with the latest TruSense system, it monitors your heart rate in real time, while the advanced Sunflower positioning technology precisely tracks speed, distance, and workout routes, covering all the essential metrics found in professional cycling gear.
Whether it’s monitoring dynamic heart rate fluctuations, showing your pace in real time, or providing complex route tracking, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series does it all, solidifying its place as your all-in-one cycling companion.
