A review of the Huawei Watch 4 Pro in a nutshell the Watch 4 Pro is cumbersome and packed with a lot of features. If you don’t mind using Huawei’s operating system and are looking for a fashionable and capable smartwatch, this one should surely be on your short list of options to consider. To say that there are a lot of options available would be an understatement if you’re trying to put one of the top smartwatches on your wrist.
One of the various kinds of Apple Watch that are currently available on the market is possibly the most well-liked option; nevertheless, those watches are only compatible with iPhones. Other choices on the market are solely compatible with Android phones, and there are only a few that are compatible with both iOS and Android devices. This holds true for the Huawei Watch 4 Pro.

Huawei Watch 4 Pro Review: Design

In this edition of the Watch, Huawei has maintained the classic look of a watch by including a wide circular face that is reminiscent of a traditional wristwatch. For controls and navigation, it utilizes the same 3D rotating crown and corresponding button on the right-hand side of the device. On the Huawei Watch 4 Pro, you have the choice between three different colors for the band: a titanium strap in silver, a composite strap in blue, or a leather strap in a dark brown color.
If you go with the more affordable version of the Watch 4, all you will get is a black rubber band. I tried out the leather model, which features a silver titanium housing. It’s a nice combination. The straps have a fast release buckle, allowing you to replace them with any other 22mm strap that is compatible with your preference. Huawei offers its own line of products for sale, and customers may choose from a variety of styles, colors, and materials.
Huawei Watch 4 Pro Review: Display & audio
Despite the fact that the bulky design is an irritation, the fact that the screen is so big, bright, and amazing is a direct result of it. It has a sapphire glass-protected 1.5-inch AMOLED display that has a resolution of 466 by 466 pixels and 310 pixels per inch (ppi). Although the display is susceptible to occasional fingerprint marks, I’ve been able to use it even when the sun is directly overhead without any problems. When sliding between different screens and applications, there is no noticeable lag in the responsiveness of the navigation. There is a further choice to make, which is to activate a fundamental always-on display that shows the time and date. However, doing so can reduce the battery life by up to fifty percent.
A ‘raise to wake’ feature is also included in the watch, which means that when you bring your wrist up to your eye level, the display will instantly light up. The brightness is initially set to change automatically, and it does a good job of adapting to the conditions around it. The Apple Watch 4 Pro includes a speaker that is built right into the device. Following a workout, the watch will, as a matter of course, report your various stats. You can turn it off in the settings menu if, like me, you find yourself experiencing second-hand shame about this when you are participating in an exercise class. The voice on the wearable is quite loud.
Huawei Watch 4 Pro Review: Software

The Harmony OS 3.0 comes preinstalled on the Huawei Watch 4 series. The Apple Watch 4 Pro has been updated with a few additional functions, making it a far more enticing piece of technology to wear on your wrist. Watchfaces have the ability to bring more details, there are more than one hundred widgets, and basic multitasking is available.
Because in actuality, the number of widgets you can utilize is constrained by the number of cards that can be revealed when you swipe to the right, the number displayed can be rather deceiving. Only when we add third-party apps from AppGallery will the number of widgets increase; you can have as many as seven unique “universal cards,” each of which can be configured with a different combination of data that is displayed.
Performance
The Watch 4 Pro is an outstanding piece of technology. The functionality of tracking one’s health is extremely user-friendly and provides extensive insights. The “Health Glance” function is one of my favorites, in particular. It makes it extremely simple to obtain a cursory overview of your state of health. In addition to that, there is a vast selection of different exercises available on board. This covers common ones like as walking and running, in addition to a few that are a little bit more out of the ordinary. There are configurations available, for instance, that can be used for driving ranges and triathlons.
In addition to that, the exercises area includes a segment for a variety of running courses. They focus on achieving different kinds of benefits, including as burning fat and increasing aerobic endurance. There’s even a setting for an AI running coach that can adapt to your routine by analyzing your previous runs and coming up with a strategy specifically for you. This watch has a really stunning display for a timepiece. It has a variable refresh rate and an AMOLED panel of 1.5 inches in size. It is quite clear and detailed, and the action is very fluid. This is made possible by the sapphire crystal, which has a slight dome to it.
Battery life & charging
When Huawei stopped using Wear OS, it was able to really improve the way its watches used their batteries. The Huawei Watch 3, on the other hand, felt like a step back because it could only be used as a smartwatch for two to three days. This time, Huawei said that this mode would last longer on a single charge, and it has kept its word.
It now takes 4.5 days to do what it used to do in two or three days. I was able to use this mode for up to five days, but 4.5 to 5 days seems about right. It will also be less if you set the screen to always be on. There’s also a mode that lets the battery last as long as possible, but turns off mobile and Wi-Fi links. Depending on how much energy you have left, that will last you anywhere from 12 to 21 days.
Price & availability
The brown leather strap and blue models of the Huawei Watch 4 Pro cost £499/€549, while the silver titanium version costs £549/€649. You can buy it straight from Huawei or from Amazon UK. Like other Huawei devices, the Watch 4 series is not sold in the United States.
You can get the standard Watch 4 for £100/€100 less. Even though the Watch 4 is cheaper than the Watch 4 Pro, there aren’t many big changes between the two models other than the materials used to make them and how long the batteries last.
FInal Words
The Huawei Watch 4 Pro is a good smartwatch, that much is clear. It has a lot of great health and exercise tracking, which is what a device like this is all about. Add to that a beautiful dial and a really nice band, and it’s safe to say that this is a good product.
There are, of course, a few things to consider. The lack of familiar software is the most noticeable. Some people will be able to ignore it, but others might find it annoying. We have to say that it was really easy to use, but I don’t use any third-party apps very often. If you do, it might be a little harder for you.

Questions and Answers
A great show of clever things. Using eSIM technology, HUAWEI WATCH 3 works as a contact device that doesn’t need to be connected to a phone. You can still use your phone number to make calls, play music, and download apps without being tied to your phone.
When the watch is linked to your phone through Bluetooth, you can use your phone number to make or take calls from the watch. If the Bluetooth connection drops and the eSIM service is turned on for the watch, you can use the eSIM number to make or take calls if the Bluetooth connection drops.
