Huawei Band 4 Pro: You won't find good GPS for cheaper

The Huawei Band 4 Pro is a budget-friendly fitness tracker outstanding for its built-in GPS functionality, making it one of the cheapest options available for phone-free activity tracking. It features a sharp 0.95-inch AMOLED touch screen, a silicone rubber strap, and a 5 ATM water resistance rating suitable for swimming. In real-world performance tests, its GPS proved highly accurate, showing a minimal deviation of only 18 meters per kilometre during cycling compared to a premium smartphone, and just 10 to 40 meters during running compared to a dedicated Garmin sports watch. Beyond GPS, it tracks daily steps, heart rate using the TruSeen 3.5 sensor, and sleep stages via the TruSleep 2.0 algorithm, alongside standard smart functions like notifications, timers, and music control. Despite these strong features, the device has notable drawbacks, primarily regarding its software ecosystem and battery life. Because it relies on the proprietary Huawei Health app, users must navigate the restriction of installing external Huawei stores for updates, and data cannot be exported to third-party sports platforms like Strava or as GPX files. Furthermore, several features like the...

Huawei Band 4 Pro review: Tracker with GPS

The Huawei Band 4 Pro is an affordable, lightweight fitness tracker that stands out in its budget category by including an integrated GPS module for smartphone-free route tracking during outdoor activities like running, walking, cycling, and swimming. Weighing only 25 grams, it features a bright, high-contrast AMOLED touchscreen protected by scratch-resistant glass, alongside a comfortable plastic design that provides reliable, continuous heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) estimation, and swim stroke recognition. When paired with an Android smartphone, it also allows users to remotely control music playback and view incoming notifications and weather updates directly from their wrist. However, the tracker has several notable drawbacks, including a very small display with touch-screen controls that lack precision, and a plastic housing that is prone to scratching. Its battery life lasts an impressive four days under normal conditions, but activating the power-hungry GPS drains more than half of the battery in just two hours. Additionally, it lacks contactless payment functionality, cannot automatically detect when a workout begins, and delivers inaccurate sleep tracking results. Setting up the device is also difficult for...

HUAWEI Band 4 Pro | How to get the most out of it for your workouts

The HUAWEI Band 4 Pro is highly praised as a comprehensive, budget-friendly fitness tracker that bridges the gap between basic smart bands and advanced sports watches. A major standout feature is its built-in standalone GPS, a rarity for devices in its price bracket, which allows users to accurately map outdoor runs, walks, and cycling sessions without needing to carry a smartphone. Performance tracking is further enhanced by robust health monitoring tools, including HUAWEI TruSeen 3.5 continuous heart rate tracking, on-demand SpO2 blood oxygen measurement, and highly precise TruSleep 2.0 sleep analysis that identifies specific sleep issues and provides detailed stage breakdowns via the companion app. Additionally, the vibrant 0.95-inch AMOLED color touchscreen provides crisp visuals, and the lightweight, 25-gram engineering plastic and brushed metal body ensures long-term wearing comfort during workouts and sleep. YouTube · Despite these strengths, the device has notable functional limitations and design drawbacks. While its typical battery life lasts a respectable 5 to 12 days depending on feature usage, activating the power-hungry integrated GPS aggressively drains the battery, restricting continuous GPS tracking to just over 7...

Huawei Band 4 Pro review: the best fitness tracker with GPS?

The Huawei Band 4 Pro stands out as a highly capable and budget-friendly fitness tracker, primarily distinguished by its rare inclusion of built-in GPS at a competitive price point. A significant upgrade from its predecessor, it features a vibrant, larger 0.95-inch AMOLED colour touchscreen display that ensures excellent visibility in sunlight. The device offers robust functionality, tracking up to 11 different sports, delivering reliable sleep evaluation, and monitoring continuous daily heart rate data. Its lightweight, water-resistant design supports depths up to 20 metres, and the companion smartphone app provides deep analytical insights, customizable watch faces, and health notification toggles. The review highlights several pros and cons regarding its overall performance. On the positive side, the smartband offers an excellent upgraded display, integrated GPS for standalone route tracking, reliable sleep monitoring, and a solid battery life lasting up to 10 days (or 6 to 7 days with frequent GPS usage). Conversely, the cons include very small text previews for incoming notifications, which cannot be synchronized or replied to from the device. Additionally, at the time of review, the software was limited...

Huawei Band 4 Pro review: Satisfying, but the competition is fierce

The Huawei Band 4 Pro stands out as an excellent, budget-friendly fitness tracker under €100 for users who prioritise standalone location tracking. Its standout pro is the inclusion of built-in GPS, which allows users to accurately track walks and outdoor runs without needing a smartphone nearby. The device features a vibrant, highly readable 0.95-inch AMOLED touchscreen display that remains visible outdoors. Additionally, it offers 5 ATM water resistance with reliable lap and stroke tracking for swimming, precise heart rate and sleep monitoring via the comprehensive Huawei Health app, and useful software features like remote camera shutter control (exclusive to Huawei/Honor phones) and SpO2 blood oxygen tracking. On the other hand, the device has several notable cons regarding its setup, software, and battery performance. Non-Huawei Android users face a tedious installation process, requiring them to download the Huawei AppGallery to obtain the necessary, updated Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) to run the companion app. The smartband's native software is restricted to English, lacking Italian language support. Battery life is mediocre, lasting only 3 to 4 days with standard usage, though it can...

Huawei Band 4 Pro review: The fitness tracker with built-in GPS

Huawei Band 4 Pro Review Summary The Huawei Band 4 Pro is a lightweight, sports-focused tracker featuring a 0.95-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a brushed metal frame, and a comfortable, non-removable silicone strap. It stands out by including built-in GPS, allowing for independent tracking of 11 different sports, alongside a 6-axis acceleration sensor, optical heart rate sensor, and SpO2 oxygen saturation monitoring. The device promises around 5 days of battery life from its 100 mAh battery, supports 5ATM water resistance, and offers in-depth sleep analysis via the Huawei Health app. Key advantages (pros) of the tracker include the bright, sun-legible display, accurate GPS tracking, and comprehensive sleep tracking analysis. However, it has some drawbacks (cons), such as a somewhat basic user interface with small text, a tendency to slightly overestimate step counts, and a frustrating, non-magnetic charging dock. Notifications are functional but limited, with truncated text, shared icons for different apps, and restricted app-filtering options on iOS.

HUAWEI BAND 4 PRO Review - Andrea Galeazzi

The Huawei Band 4 Pro is an elegant, lightweight fitness tracker featuring a vibrant, touchscreen AMOLED display that accurately automatically manages screen brightness and wrist-wake movements during sleep. It provides highly precise step counting and robust fitness tracking for activities like running, cycling, and swimming, bolstered by a fast-locking integrated GPS that records route maps. The device includes a precise heart rate monitor, broad compatibility with iOS and Android via the Health app, extensive watchface customization, and seamless data sharing with third-party platforms like Google Fit and MyFitnessPal. Despite its strong performance, the smart band has notable drawbacks, including a relatively high launch price of €79.99 and strong internal competition from Honor's cheaper alternative. While the hardware offers basic notification viewing and call rejection, it completely lacks the functionality to reply to incoming messages. Additionally, it lacks integrated storage for music playback—requiring a paired smartphone—and suffers from severe battery drain during intense workouts, with battery life dropping from a standard 7 days down to just 6 or 7 hours when the GPS is continuously active.

Summary of the review

Huawei Band 4 Pro Review - Hardloopzone.nl

The Huawei Band 4 Pro is an affordable activity tracker that bridges the gap between basic bands and dedicated sports watches by including both built-in GPS and continuous heart rate monitoring. This dual tracking capability allows casual athletes to leave their smartphones at home during workouts while still capturing highly accurate route, distance, and sleep data. The device introduces helpful health upgrades like SpO2 blood oxygen monitoring and Firstbeat training analysis algorithms. It features a colourful 0.95-inch AMOLED display supporting up to 100 customizable watch faces, alongside smart functions such as phone notifications, weather forecasts, and phone music playback controls. Additionally, its battery life reaches up to 20 days under normal conditions or 7 hours with continuous GPS activation. However, the tracker has several notable drawbacks, including a flat, elongated screen design that creates wide gaps on small wrists, compromising the physical fit. While the screen is vibrant, readability remains poor under direct sunlight. User interaction can be sluggish, as both the touchscreen and the single touch-sensitive menu button lack optimal responsiveness. Furthermore, serious runners will miss advanced running metrics...

Verdict

The Huawei Band 4 Pro is a compact fitness tracker featuring a 0.95-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a 240 x 120 resolution, built-in GPS for phone-free activity tracking, and 5 ATM water resistance suitable for swimming. It integrates a 6-axis IMU sensor, optical heart rate sensor, and SpO2 monitor to provide 24/7 health metrics, including TruSeen 3.5 heart rate tracking and TruSleep 2.0 sleep analysis. Its main pros include the high-quality color display, independent GPS tracking, and professional sports guidance powered by Firstbeat algorithms for 11 different workout modes. However, notable cons include its reliance on a proprietary charging cradle rather than a universal USB connection, limited watch face customization for non-Android users, and reported inaccuracies in heart rate monitoring during high-intensity interval training.
