Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro Blue

Previously, I used the Huawei Watch 3, which unfortunately had some drawbacks such as a defective button, a scratch on the screen and a relatively short battery life. After switching to the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, I am very satisfied with the improvements offered. The watch has an elegant and modern design and is comfortable and light on the wrist.

The screen quality has improved significantly, with a brighter and sharper display. The device also has advanced functions such as an ECG measurement and the so-called arterial stiffness detection, which assesses the flexibility of the blood vessels and thus provides valuable health insights. In addition, the Watch Fit 4 Pro offers an extensive selection of sports modes, suitable for a wide range of activities.

What means the biggest improvement for me is the battery life: even with intensive use, the watch easily lasts up to ten days. One point for improvement remains the limited variety of available watch faces. Nevertheless, the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro is a convincing upgrade compared to its predecessor and is an excellent choice for those looking for a versatile and reliable smartwatch.

First use The watch feels nice and light. I have been using it for a few weeks now and no damage or glitches/bugs yet. The installation of the watch and the Huawei app and pairing with my smartphone went smoothly.

Operation The operation of the watch (with scroll button, extra button and touchscreen) works smoothly and quickly. The settings and programs are generally where you expect them to be and there are various options to adjust the menus.

Sports options In the past few weeks I have mainly used the smartwatch as a sports watch. What is striking is that the data/information is clearly and accurately displayed during exercise, both visually and audibly (this can be turned off). I have tested it with running, cycling and hiking. It is also good to mention that free maps can be downloaded, so that you can see where you are and where you need to go while exercising.

Other options In addition, this watch has the functions that you can expect from a smartwatch: synchronization of appointments, messages, calls and data such as weather. The app also shows other data that is tracked by the watch, including the number of steps, the number of hours spent moving, your sleep pattern and your mood. This data can also be analysed by the app, which results in health advice. Many different free watch faces can be downloaded via the Huawei app. Switching between these faces is easy, so you can easily adapt your watch to the situation.

Oh yes, the battery life is excellent, even with a lot of use of GPS etc.!

I really liked the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro. The watch is light, stylish and clearly designed for sporty users. The screen is bright and easy to read, even outdoors in bright light. The silicone strap is comfortable, even in warm temperatures or while sleeping. You get extensive insights into your sleep, heart rate, steps and sports activities. The watch and the accompanying app offer a clear dashboard with data on, for example, the number of calories burned, stress levels and your weekly activity. What I personally find a big plus is the automatically generated running schedule. This is tailored to your goal, weight, height and experience, and your progress is neatly tracked. In addition to running, I have also tested walking, cycling, padel and crossfit, and the measurements were fast and accurate. The battery life is also good: I only had to charge the watch again after seven days of intensive use. There are also some downsides. Huawei's software sometimes feels a bit limited: the range of watch faces is small or monotonous, and the app cannot be downloaded from the Play Store. Sometimes the watch doesn’t feel quite ‘smart’ either – for example, when I got a notification that I had missed my run, even though I had done it the day before. All in all, this is a great choice for those looking for an affordable and functional smartwatch with a clear sports focus. The price-performance ratio is good, provided you can live with the limitations of the operating system.
