Huawei Watch GT 5 Straps — What Fits
The Huawei Watch GT 5 and GT 5 Pro, released in 2024, use Huawei's standard quick-release lugs in one of two widths depending on case size. The 46mm GT 5 and the 46mm GT 5 Pro both take a 22mm quick-release strap, while the smaller 41mm GT 5 and 42mm GT 5 Pro take an 18mm strap instead — part of a change Huawei made across its smaller cases starting in 2023.
Every strap in this collection uses a spring-bar quick release, so no tools are needed to switch styles: a small lever on the underside of the strap retracts the bar, letting the old strap lift straight out and the new one click into the same lug holes.
Buying straps separately also means you aren't limited to the color your watch shipped with — you can match a strap to an outfit, rotate styles through the week, or keep a dedicated strap just for workouts.

Strap Styles for the Watch GT 5 and GT 5 Pro
Which styles are available depends on your case size, though every style uses the same quick-release fitting once it's on the watch.
For 46mm Cases (22mm)
The 46mm GT 5 and GT 5 Pro have the full six-style range: Mavric braided loop, Solin magnetic milanese, Véllo nylon loop, Vornis silicone sport, Rovan magnetic loop and Voren nylon loop. None of these materials stretch or crease with regular wear, so they hold their shape over months of daily use.
For 41mm/42mm Cases (18mm)
The smaller 41mm GT 5 and 42mm GT 5 Pro currently come in the Rovan magnetic loop style only at 18mm — a soft mesh strap with a magnetic closure that adjusts instantly to your wrist. It's a versatile, low-profile choice that works equally well for workouts, sleep tracking or the office.
Matching the Style to Your Day
Reach for Vornis silicone sport before a workout — it wipes clean and won't hold onto sweat. Solin magnetic milanese or Rovan magnetic loop dress the watch up for the office, while the Véllo or Voren nylon loop keeps things light enough for overnight sleep tracking. If you switch a single strap between a 46mm and 41mm GT 5 across two people in the same household, keep in mind only Rovan carries over to the smaller case.
Swapping Your GT 5 Strap
Fitting a new strap takes seconds and no tools:
- Turn the watch over and find the small lever on the underside of the current strap.
- Push the lever in to retract the spring bar, then lift the strap out of the lugs.
- Align the new strap's spring bar with the same lug holes and press until it clicks.
- Tug gently on both sides to confirm the strap is fully seated before wearing it.
Caring for Your Straps
Silicone rinses clean with water and a little mild soap. Nylon loop straps should be hand washed and air dried rather than tumble dried, which wears down the hook-and-loop closure. Wipe the magnetic milanese and magnetic loop straps dry after sweat or water exposure to keep the mesh finish looking new. Store any strap you aren't currently wearing somewhere dry and out of direct light to keep colors from fading over time.
Which Watches Don't Fit These Straps
These GT 5 straps are built for the standard quick-release lugs on the GT 5 and GT 5 Pro. A few other Huawei products, and even other GT 5 case sizes, need a different width or a different strap system entirely:
- Case size matters: the 41mm GT 5 and 42mm GT 5 Pro take 18mm straps, not 20mm, even though older Huawei watches of a similar size (like the GT 2 42mm and GT 3 42mm) use 20mm. Double-check your exact model before ordering a Huawei Watch GT 5 strap.
- The Huawei Watch Fit line — Fit, Fit SE, Fit mini, Fit 2, Fit 3, Fit 4/4 Pro and Fit 5/5 Pro — uses a proprietary connector, not quick-release lugs, so standard straps do not fit any Watch Fit model.
- Huawei Watch D and D2 use a blood-pressure airbag cuff strap, so no standard strap fits either watch.
- The Huawei Strap series and Watch GT Cyber are not compatible with standard quick-release straps.
