Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro Intro
This is not just a marketing trick either, because the watch comes with an impressive set of features, rivaling more premium and high-end models both in Huawei’s own GT series and also among the competitors.
Along with a new tweaked design, the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro comes with deep health tracking capabilities, such as ECG, arterial stiffness detection, SpO2 measurements, sleep tracking, temperature readings, and the robust battery life Huawei’s wearables are known for.
All these goodies come at a price, as the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro now starts at £249.99. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Without further ado, let’s dive into the review.
What’s new:
- New design

- Sapphire glass
- Titanium alloy bezel
- ECG readings
- Arterial stiffness detection
- Temperature sensor
- HRV tracking

Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro Specs, Models and Prices
In terms of different variants and models, there’s only one variant of the Pro version (there’s also a non-Pro model), and it’s a Bluetooth-only device with no size options and no LTE or Wi-Fi connectivity.
Here’s a quick look at the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro specs:

| New features | New design ECG readings Arterial stiffness detection Temperature sensor NFC Wireless charging Sleep breathing awareness Gold mode 40-meter freediving mode Terrain map Trail running Offline maps HRV tracking |
There’s no word on the exact silicon used inside, nor do we have info about the RAM on board, but what we’ve observed is that after the initial boot-up, there’s a slight lag until everything is fully loaded into the watch’s RAM. After a minute, though, everything starts to run smoothly, and we haven’t experienced anything like that since.
There’s about 1.5GB of storage available for music on the watch, which lets you upload around 300 songs in MP3 format with decent quality. You can then connect Bluetooth earbuds and spice up your training sessions with some beats without the need to carry your phone with you.
Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro Design, Sizes and Bands
A rectangle…
The sides are flat, and the Watch 4 Pro now looks and feels like it has its own identity. In terms of materials, there are some surprises—along with the titanium bezel around the screen, we have a sapphire crystal glass on top of the gorgeous 1.82-inch AMOLED. It’s a great quality of life improvement, as this synthetic sapphire material is very hard and almost unscratchable.
Compared to the previous model, the Watch 4 Pro is a tad thinner (9.3 vs 9.9 mm) but also a few grams heavier at 30 grams (without the strap). It’s a comfortable watch to wear, the ceramic bottom is smooth and doesn’t irritate your skin, and the overall weight feels decent on the hand, not feather-light but not heavy by any means.
The 1.82-inch AMOLED display has been upgraded and can now output up to 3000 nits of peak brightness, which on a sunny day does wonders, and it is on par with much more expensive smartwatches. The resolution of 480×408 pixels results in around 350 PPI, which is pretty crisp. Overall, the screen is a pleasure to lay your eyes on, and there are really no downsides.
The first two options feature a proprietary mechanism to attach to the body of the watch, and the Green one comes with lugs attached to the watch via the same mechanism. You can swap the bands on that model easily with standard 20mm ones, but the first two require an adapter bought separately.
Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro Software & Features
Smart Harmony
The apps you can install are still limited, but there are some third-party ones you can use through AppGallery, such as Petal Maps, Navigation (G-Maps Viewer), Voice Recorder, camera control app, an app that syncs with your Google Calendar, Spotify controls, etc.
There’s a decent variety of watch faces, most of which are free, and you can add, arrange, and customize different widgets to show you important info with just a left swipe. Another cool thing is the QWERTY keyboard you can use to answer messages. It supports some of the popular apps, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Viber, and it’s a great step up from predefined answers.
One drawback worth mentioning is that Huawei Health can’t talk to Google Fit, so if you want the data to be synchronized with other apps through Google Fit, that’s not possible at the moment. With that out of the way, let’s go through all the features available.
Workout features
Running aficionados will be pleased, as special care has been taken to elevate their experience. There are running courses and plans you can use to get your 5k times where you want them or finally do that half-marathon. There are useful tools on tap, such as the metronome that lets you run to a beat and keep a steady tempo, a smart companion with a customizable pace you can set, and you can also listen to music while you run or work out.
There are some advanced metrics now regarding running. Along with the normal splits, average heart rate, average pace, elevation, and descent, you now get asymmetry readings between your right and left foot, vertical oscillation, and ground contact time.
You can link the Komoot app and import courses you want to run or hike, or draw your own. Huawei Health can also talk to Strava, so for serious runners, that’s a nice bonus feature. The dual-band GPS is also pretty accurate; we’ve tested it against a reference Garmin bike GPS system and a smartphone as well, and it was on par.
Sleep tracking
There’s one new feature called Sleep Breathing Awareness, aimed at tracking abnormalities tied to sleep apnea. This uses metrics such as HRV (heart rate variability) and SpO2 to recognize breathing problems during your sleep.
Sleep tracking is always an approximation when we talk about smartwatches. It uses your heart rate, blood oxygen readings, your movement during the night, and noises you make to paint a picture of what your sleep was. It’s good to get an overall picture, but you shouldn’t rely on it too much.
Health features
There’s also SpO2 tracking on board, and a couple of years into training these algorithms, it’s pretty accurate and on par with dedicated devices. You also get stress tracking and evaluation, but that’s much more subjective, and it’s based on metrics such as heart rate variability.
Finally, there’s a temperature sensor on the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, giving you wrist temperature readings, which are generally not very useful, as human temperature on that particular spot can vary a lot. But it’s there and semi-useful during sleep when it can detect abnormalities and sudden changes that can be an indicator of a problem.
Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro Battery and Charging
A carefree week
That’s a pretty decent result, and even though it falls a bit short of the advertised seven days, we used the watch with the AOD on all the time and with tracking frequency maxed out on all sensors, so that’s pretty much the minimum you can expect. If you switch to smart tracking and auto-brightness, you can easily stretch that to seven days, we reckon.
A huge quality of life improvement is the wireless charging capabilities. The previous model used a two-pin magnetic clip charger, and it was very fiddly. Now you can just place it on a Qi charger (it works with most of the big brands) or use the wireless charger included in the retail box. The watch charges to full in a tad less than one hour.
Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro Voice Calls and Haptics
The rotating crown supports haptic feedback, and you can choose the level of vibration from three settings: strong, soft, and off completely. It’s nice and tight, but not super strong. You won’t miss a notification or an alarm, though.
Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro Competitors
Now the Apple Watch SE situation is much more difficult. Huawei offers more features both in the health department and in terms of workouts. The battery life on the Watch Fit 4 Pro is much better than both the Apple Watch SE and the Galaxy Watch 7, and the screen is also brighter (at the level of the Apple Watch Ultra).
There’s a consideration regarding Huawei Health and how it communicates with other services on your phone. If you want your data shared through other services and apps, you might have troubles, but if you’re okay getting everything in the Huawei Health app, then it can absolutely be an alternative to the aforementioned models.
Should you buy it?
But if you want a comfortable, stylish, and potent all-around smartwatch that finds itself outside the usual wearable suspects, so to speak, and you’re prepared to deal with the aforementioned limitations, the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro is a great choice.
