Health, Fashion, and Fitness: 5 Features We Love About the HUAWEI Watch FIT 4

I’ve had my fair share of smartwatches but some of them have fallen short in one area or another. The soon-to-launch HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4, however? This one feels different.

I’ve been putting it through its paces for the past week, and honestly, it’s become a solid part of my daily grind. It’s not just a gadget. It’s like having a stylish and surprisingly capable little companion strapped to my wrist.

What truly impresses me is the remarkable balance it strikes between its sleek design and its comprehensive suite of health and fitness features – and believe me, there’s a lot to appreciate in both aspects.

Feature 1: Sleek and Customizable Design – Style That Doesn’t Quit

First impressions matter, and the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 nails it. It’s noticeably slimmer than its predecessors. I barely feel it on my wrist, which is a huge win for someone like me who prefers to wear a smartwatch all day and night.

The new strap options are a nice touch too, letting you switch things up depending on your mood or outfit. However, the real eye-catcher is that vibrant, larger display. It’s so much easier to read notifications and workout stats on it, even under the bright Manila sun.

What’s more, although definitely filled with features for sports, exercise, health functions, long battery life, and smart features; the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 is a great alternative to traditional watches because it isn’t just fashionable.It’s also so comfortable and light on the wrist. It’s literally perfect for everyday wear!

And get this: you can now create watch faces using AI stickers! I’ve had a blast playing around with this, making my watch truly one-of-a-kind.

Feature 2: Comprehensive Health and Wellness Tracking – Your Personal Health Guardian

This is where the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 truly shines. It’s not just about counting steps. It’s about proactive health management. The continuous 24/7 monitoring gives me a real-time snapshot of my vitals, and those daily health check-ins are a good nudge to stay on top of things.

Another cool feature is the health community feature. If you link up with your kids, for example, you can get automatic reminders about their well-being. It’s a simple yet thoughtful way to stay connected and care for each other throughout the day.

And for those of us who struggle to get enough shut-eye (that’s me!), the improved sleep tracking provides detailed insights. From the gentle nudge of the bedtime reminder to the detailed breakdown of my sleep stages, it offers a thorough understanding of my nightly rest.

It doesn’t stop there, either. Integrated suggestions for improvement, such as guided meditation sessions and a selection of calming soft music available through Huawei Health+ membership courses, provide actionable steps so I can make informed adjustments for better sleep quality. It’s like having a personal sleep lab right on my wrist!

Oh, and the cute pet-themed watch faces? Surprisingly uplifting! My little digital cat seems to know when I’m stressed and offers these little animations that genuinely make me smile. It’s a quirky but effective way to boost your mood.

Not a cat person? You can choose from other adorable pet-themed faces like dogs and pandas as well.

Feature 3: Versatile Workout Modes – Your Fitness, Your Way

Whether I’m hitting the gym, going for a run, or trying out a new dance class; this watch has me covered. The automatic workout detection is super handy. It always knows when I’ve started moving, which is perfect for those spontaneous exercise sessions. The sheer variety of workout options is impressive, catering to pretty much any activity you can think of.

As for the fellow outdoor enthusiasts, the new barometer is a game-changer, providing richer data for hikes and climbs. And the upgraded dual-band GPS? Forget getting lost – the positioning is incredibly accurate, way better than some other watches out there. Plus, the full-color sports map is a neat way to review your routes.

For runners, the Strava compatibility is a huge plus, especially with its running form analysis and suggestions that help improve running performance and avoid injuries. And if you need a little extra motivation, the HUAWEI Health app now offers free 3-month fitness classes, such as Global City Run, Breathing Exercise, and Pilates. It’s like having a personal trainer on my wrist and in my pocket.

All you have to do is choose the course you want to do and a description will instantly pop up along with the required training equipment and even predicted calories burned. The moves you will have to follow will show up as well. This allows you to gauge if you are in the right mindset and physical condition to follow the course. It’s fitness made fun and easy!

Feature 4: Smooth and Intuitive User Experience – Seamlessly Integrated into Your Life

A smartwatch is only as good as its usability, and the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 nails this. Notifications for calls and messages are clear and come through instantly. Controlling my music playlist during my commute is a breeze. And yes, GCash works like a charm for those quick payments.

Here’s another feature that really surprised me: I can actually type replies to messages directly on the watch! No more mere canned responses. I can have full-on conversations from my wrist.

Taking a quick screenshot with a flick of my wrist is surprisingly useful too. And for those moments when typing isn’t ideal, the speech-to-text input and voice memo features are lifesavers. Plus, the NFC with easier door access? Talk about convenience!

Feature 5: Long-Lasting Battery Life – Power That Keeps Up

Let’s be honest: constantly charging another device is a drag. That’s why the 10-day battery life on the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 is a major win. I can go daaaays without even thinking about plugging it in, which is fantastic for busy days and especially when traveling.

And when it does eventually need a boost, the fast charging is incredibly efficient – I’m back up and running in no time.

BONUS: A Glimpse at the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 PRO

Although I’ve been using the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4, there is actually also a HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 PRO version you might want to look into.

Crafted with durability in mind, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro incorporates aircraft-grade materials and a resilient sapphire glass display, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle.

Beyond its robust design, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro also excels in fitness tracking, even monitoring specialized activities like golf swings and detailed insights for diving adventures at depths of up to 40 meters.

Furthermore, it prioritizes your well-being with advanced health features, like ECG analysis for heart health monitoring and comprehensive women’s health tracking, including a skin temperature sensor to identify subtle body temperature fluctuations. This makes it a powerful companion for both your fitness pursuits and overall health management.

You mentioned adding skin temp but that it’s not available for base units? Hope you can clarify as I don’t quite understand. It’s not available for the regular FIT, just the PRO? And if so, should I still add it if my review is about the regular FIT?

In conclusion, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 isn’t just another smartwatch. It’s a well-rounded wearable that seamlessly blends style, comprehensive health tracking, versatile fitness features, and a user-friendly experience. From its sleek design and personalized watch faces to its in-depth health insights and impressive battery life, it’s a device that genuinely enhances your daily life. So far, I love it so much more than other smartwatches I’ve experienced in terms of features and design.

And in case you’re worried it won’t work with a non-HUAWEI phone, worry no more! While other watches may be locked up in their own ecosystems, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 is also compatible with iOS and Android. How awesome is that?

If you’re looking for a smartwatch that ticks all the boxes, mark your calendars for May 22, 2025. Trust me: this one’s worth checking out!
