Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Watch Fit 4

  • Vibrant 1.82-inch AMOLED display with 2000-nit peak brightness for easy outdoor viewing.
  • Exceptional battery life lasting between 7 to 10 days on a single charge.
  • Lightweight and slim design (9.5mm) that users find comfortable for all-day wear and sleep tracking.
  • Highly accurate GPS and heart rate monitoring, often compared favourably to more expensive models.
  • Fast charging capabilities, providing a full day of power with just 10-15 minutes of charging.
  • Seamless integration and reliable Bluetooth connectivity with both Android and iOS devices.

What we don't like about Huawei Watch Fit 4

  • Limited support for third-party apps and a lack of popular services like Spotify or Google Maps natively.
  • NFC payment support is restricted or unavailable in several regions outside of China.
  • The Huawei Health companion app can feel cluttered, disorganized, or contain unnecessary bloatware.
  • iOS users experience restricted features, such as the inability to reply to notifications or access the remote camera shutter.
  • Frequent permission requests and EULA prompts for individual micro-apps can be annoying for new users.
  • Some users noted the screen does not sit perfectly flush with the case, which can be felt when swiping.

Verdict

The Huawei Watch Fit 4 is a lightweight smartwatch featuring a 1.82-inch AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 2,000 nits and a sharp 480 x 408 resolution. Housed in a slim 9.5mm aluminum alloy case, it offers robust health and fitness tracking through the TruSense system, including heart rate, SpO2, and sleep monitoring, alongside over 100 sports modes and dual-band GPS. Main advantages include an impressive battery life of up to 10 days, a highly responsive touchscreen, and comprehensive compatibility with both Android and iOS devices. However, notable drawbacks include a limited selection of third-party apps in the AppGallery, the absence of an ECG sensor found in the Pro model, and restricted NFC payment support depending on the specific color variant or region.
