HONOR Watch GS Pro | Review and Features - Adventure Ready By Michael Elsegood

So, what's up guys, Michael here, and today we are looking at the newly announced honor watch gs pro now, for the last year on his main flagship watch has been the magic watch 2, which I think is a perfect all-rounder. It has lots of nice features for sports and activity monitoring. However, it wasn't designed with the outside in mind. Now, however, honor have introduced the gs pro, which is designed to be an adventure watch for serious outdoor activities, where the conditions may get a little rough. So this is a device that you won't have to worry about getting beaten up so easily when your bounty hunting through a jungle and wading through mud and water and accidentally smashing it on rocks and using it to chop up firewood. It's designed to be hardcore, so you can really see how the design is geared towards the outside world when you put it side by side next to the magic watch too.

The gs pro is a lot beefier and aggressive. Looking its main. Shell is much thicker, and it has a nice rugged, solid, feel to it. The stainless steel buttons on the side are more flush to the body, ready for any kind of impact or hit, and if you turn the watch around, you can see that the main body design has left no room for gaps, allowing the straps to connect in a much more secure manner. The strap itself is thicker than the magic watch 2, and the buckle is also larger and weightier thanks to it being made out of stainless steel.

Now on a claim, this has been built and tested to a certain standard. It's a test and process that the United States military used to test all of their equipment before they give them to their super soldiers, super soldiers or something like that. Now all this testing includes low pressure, high altitude scenarios, low and high temperature scenarios and temperature shock. So basically, temperature shock is where you go from one extreme temperature to another very quickly and that can have a awful effect on a lot of electronics. Most electronics will not be happy with that kind of situation.

However, if you have uh the gs pro on, and you're out, skiing on the alps- and you come back into your log cabin, and you get into the sauna everybody's rubbing oil on each other and the watch is fine. The gs pro is also designed to withstand other scenarios. You might find yourself in rain, humidity, sand and dust immersion for some of that desert adventure. If you're gonna look for some tombs or something, naturally, it can also survive underwater, maybe if you're in some swamp lands with the greenery growing on top or a small pond or something. So it's tough science.

Now, of course, when I did, that there were a few scratches and links on the casing, but overall none of the measuring equipment or sensors were out of sync at all. Everything works perfectly fine and the screen's good too. So if you are enjoying this video, it would be fantastic if you could drop me a like down below and smash that subscribe button for future videos now back to Indiana honor here, this watch gives you an impressive 25 days, battery life on a full single charge and up to 48 hours of battery life, if you're using the GPS the entire time. So you can literally survive up a mountain for an entire month, or at least the watch could at least you'll be frozen like a statue or something, and they'll find you like 20 years later, or something now talking of GPS. The gs pro has a few tricks up its sleeve to help guide you through any tricky situations you may be in when out and about with the watch.

The pro uses high precision, dual satellite systems, which allows it to record roots and provide breadcrumb navigation. This means that if you get lost up a mountain or take the wrong turn in a dark forest, the watch will be able to guide you back to safety using precise GPS guidance. The gs pro also has a built-in barometer that can measure your altitude and I recently tested this feature by gearing up and walking all the way to the lift for you guys work like a charm. So now imagine you're back up the mountain again got a little fire going on roasting, some marshmallows, a few selfies for the gram everything's going well but unknown to you. There is a blizzard rolling in, and you don't know, you're just there.

Looking up at the night sky. Oh, look at the stars. It's nice you're going to die and nothing's going to save you! Well one thing's going to save you weather alerts, so this will give you a little vibrate, maybe a big vibrate actually to alert you of incoming severe weather conditions, and on top of that it will also remind you of sunrise and sunset times as well as moon and tidal phases. The tide is super important guys. I don't know if you know so.

On top of this, you have all your monitoring equipment. You have an inbuilt heart rate, monitor you have your spo2 system to track all of your blood oxygen levels. You have an inbuilt stress, monitor to monitor all your stress, which I assure you works very well and then finally, a sleep monitor that will give you assessments on how terrible your sleeping pattern is. I mean this whole thing just criticizes every aspect of your life now. Joking aside, I have actually found the health functionalities on this watch very useful, especially the health part of the app, because you get a lot of graphs and information, some of it, which you might not understand.

So it gives you a nice breakdown of what each function does and tells you how you can improve. So there's a little information tag under each graph and under each piece of information that allows you to understand what you're, seeing and all the data in better context. It also gives you tips to improve. So if you're uh, looking at your own heartbeat, which is weirdly interesting to look at, I don't do it daily. So for the first few days I was in the app staring at my heart rate, the whole time I was obsessed with it.

It was nice to have a little breakdown of information. Giving me context to what each part of the data meant and how I can improve my heartbeat improve my heartbeat, never thought I would be saying that now. Obviously, the last big thing to talk about is the amount of workout modes available on this device. Each of these modes gives a nice balance of on-screen information, whilst you're working out, alerting you of any milestones you've got to and giving you a kick up the ass if you're not pushing hard enough and then the level of analytics you get after you finish, your workout is also incredibly detailed. I went for a swim, a very meandering swim where I casually floated up and down the pool, but after the swim the analytics I received were actually fascinating to look at.

It was especially cool to see that it had detected the particular stroke I was using. It also provided a ton of other data that was fascinating to read, even though it was just a casual swim. So if you're genuinely someone that works out outdoors- and you have particular goals that you want to meet all this information won't just be interesting to you but valuable. You can also customize the watch to how you want it to look with a range of specially designed watch faces for you to choose from plus many more you can download on the app outdoor watch faces, animated watch faces, and you can even make your own watch faces if you're into that, you can have your own face as a watch face. Your own watch face using your face amazing.

So actually my favorite little feature on this watch is a really simple one. It's the Allah in the morning, so the alarm alert will just give you a little vibration on your wrist, which is so much more pleasant than some sound where you have to. You know, hit your alarm or phone or something and flip it over. You just have a little vibration, and it's like somebody giving you a little nudge, like a gentle, massage nudge, to get you up much better than a much better than an annoying sound where you have to smack your phone. So if you are an outdoors person, if you like playing sports, if you like to go out and explore and go on adventures, and you're, looking for a watch to accompany you in that lifestyle, then the gs pro, I would say, is a pretty good option.

You're, getting that rugged outdoor design, you're getting that top of the range 25 days battery life, you're, getting precise GPS tracking you're, getting useful outdoor features with the barometer and weather alerts, as well as the health monitoring features such as the heart rate, oxygen and stress, monitor all the workout modes and a ton of other features for how much money I don't know they didn't tell me at the time of recording. I don't know how much the price is, but in post-production when I find out- and they tell me, and they release the product to the world- then I'll, just kind of put it right. There subscribe.
