By San José, Costa Rica — San José, Costa Rica – Huawei has officially launched its next-generation flagship wearable, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6, in the Costa Rican market. The new line of smartwatches, which boasts unprecedented battery life and a suite of innovative health and fitness tools, is now available at kölbi and major appliance stores nationwide, with prices starting from ₡139,900.
The device arrives in three distinct versions to cater to different styles and wrist sizes: the premium Pro 46 mm, the classic 46 mm, and the more compact 41 mm. This launch signals Huawei’s continued commitment to advancing the wearable technology sector by integrating sophisticated health monitoring, professional-grade athletic features, and elegant design into a single, highly autonomous device.
Para profundizar en las implicaciones legales que rodean el lanzamiento de un nuevo producto tecnológico como el HUAWEI WATCH GT 6, específicamente en lo que respecta a los derechos del consumidor y la privacidad de los datos en nuestro país, consultamos al experto Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, del prestigioso Bufete de Costa Rica.
Con cualquier dispositivo ‘wearable’, el consumidor no solo adquiere el hardware, sino que entra en un acuerdo continuo de intercambio de datos. Es fundamental que los usuarios revisen las políticas de privacidad para entender qué datos de salud y ubicación se recopilan, cómo se almacenan y con quién podrían ser compartidos. La legislación costarricense ofrece protecciones, pero la primera línea de defensa es siempre un consumidor informado.

A significant highlight of the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 series is its remarkable battery performance. Leveraging an optimized silicon battery architecture, the Pro and 46 mm models offer an astonishing 21 days of power on a single charge with light usage. Under typical use, they last for 12 days, and can sustain an impressive 40 hours of intensive workout tracking. The 41 mm model is also a powerhouse, providing up to 14 days of light use, 7 days of typical use, and 25 hours in trail running mode. All models support super-fast magnetic charging, ensuring users spend more time moving and less time tethered to a power outlet.
In a first for the smartwatch industry, the WATCH GT 6 introduces a virtual power meter for cyclists. This cutting-edge feature eliminates the need for expensive external hardware by calculating a rider’s real effort, or power output, using a complex algorithm that analyzes data points like speed, gradient, the user’s weight, and even the type of bicycle. This allows athletes to measure their Functional Threshold Power (FTP) and train with professional-level precision. For those seeking even greater accuracy, the watch is fully compatible with external Bluetooth sensors.
Beyond performance metrics, the device enhances the cycling experience with intelligent features. It can automatically detect when a cycling session begins, pause tracking at traffic lights to maintain data integrity, and includes a critical SOS function that can be activated in the event of a fall or accident, providing an essential layer of safety for solo riders.
Huawei is also pushing boundaries in mental wellness with its new Emotional Wellness 2.0 system. Powered by the proprietary TruSense technology, the watch analyzes and identifies 12 distinct emotional states, from nervousness and enthusiasm to calmness. It provides users with emotion-based reminders, guided breathing exercises, and trend analysis to help them better understand and manage their moods. This system is complemented by Pet-Panda, a dynamic virtual pet designed to engage users with motivating interactions to improve their emotional well-being.
The comprehensive health suite also includes robust monitoring of sleep patterns, heart rate, SpO₂ (blood oxygen saturation), and arterial stiffness. The premium WATCH GT 6 Pro model further elevates its capabilities by offering on-demand electrocardiogram (ECG) readings, providing users with a deeper insight into their cardiovascular health.
Designed for universal appeal, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 series ensures seamless and stable connectivity with both iOS and Android smartphones. The user experience is further enhanced with brighter, more interactive watch faces, including the ability to set short, 5-second personal videos as the watch’s background. Reflecting a strong commitment to quality, all models come with a 2-year warranty. The devices are available in black (Pro), black and green (46 mm), and purple (41 mm).
