Throughout the race, the MPT DriveHub team used the Huawei WATCH GT 5 Series, which provided real-time data on heart rate, cadence, calories, and speed—key factors in managing performance across stages.
With GPS tracking, fitness tracking via the TruSense System, and a long-lasting battery (up to 14 days), the smartwatch supported the team throughout the multi-day race.
Huawei’s involvement in the Tour of Luzon aligns with its broader goal of promoting health and wellness through technology. The company plans to continue supporting similar initiatives across the Philippines.
