Huawei Watch 4 Pro Review | The Ultimate £500 Smartwatch?

Рет қаралды 122,417

Күн бұрын

Reviewing the Huawei Watch 4 Pro, the latest premium smartwatch to rival Samsung and Apple with a slick design, long(ish) battery life and bonus air horn action. The Huawei Watch 4 Pro costs from £499 here in the UK so it ain't cheap, but while Wear OS smartwatches boast better Android support, I've still enjoyed having it strapped to my wrist.
Fancy your own Huawei Watch 4 Pro, or regular Watch 4? Click here and use the code A10WTechSpurt to save 10% (valid until end of July): clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=...
This 48mm chunkster boasts a pin-sharp 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED screen, which is bright and crisp enough for easy visibility outdoors. The Harmony OS interface is sleek and intuitive, with new features including updated widgets and watch faces. Unfortunately the Huawei Watch 4 Pro does still use Celia for its AI 'smarts', so there's that.
But did I mention the awesome air horn app?
You've got a built-in mic and speaker, and upgraded notification support (so you can actually reply to WhatsApp messages). Performance is tippity top, although it's the battery life that really appeals, with around four days of play on a single charge.
Fitness features? Yeah, the Huawei Watch 4 Pro packs in plenty of exercising smarts and health checks. You've also got a sleep tracker if that's your bag.
So are you tempted by the Huawei Watch 4 Pro? Let us know in the comments below and check out my unboxing and review videos on the latest smartwatches here on Tech Spurt!

Hey, thanks for having a watch of my Watch 4 Pro review. I'm still wearing it, still enjoying it despite the lack of contactless payments and proper notification support. Oh, and me and Celia aren't talking much these days...

I got watch 4 pro to replace my GT3 Pro, it's an amazing looking watch, i love the fact the LTPO display allows proper AOD watch faces. It seems to run two OS on two processors, if you enable low power mode it turns into a GT3, it takes a while to re boot into normal mode when you change it. Ive found some watch faces need to be installed twice, if u want to use them in normal mode and low power mode. Its easily the best looking smartwatch at the moment.

Is anybody else experiencing terrible battery life since the last upgrade? I used to get a solid 14 days per charge. This had dropped to about 7 days per charge and I haven't added or activated any additional sensors? I was hoping to downgrade the firmware but that's not an option.

the problem arises when you need to connect an e sim card so that it works on a single number , by no means allows via huawei healt to connect an e sim card that has already been activated on the phone always writes that the provider does not support this option and I see that this is generally a problem in all countries

Dear Chris My problem with Huawei GT3 Pro and the GT Runner was, that the media control always disappear when not used for a short time (30 sec - 1 min) or when the display turns off. When I was operated my media player on the phone from the watch, this was so annoying with Huawei Watch. Every time when I wanted to switch the track, I had to go to the menu and select the media control menu, each time I like to use it, because after short time when I raised my hand the dial was coming back at the display. No other Smartwatch here (Apple Watch, TicWatch Pro or Oppo Watch) have the same weird behavior, only the Huawei. Is the behavior the same with the media control on the new Huawei Watch 4 Pro? Thank you in advance and best regards, Michael.

Doesn't support send or receive phone calls over Wi-Fi which is quite a handy feature when you are at home as you can leave your mobile phone anywhere in the house and of course no Google pay. Compatibility issues as usual with Apple but at least it's somewhat usable unlike Samsung watch. Unfortunately the smart phone space has been captured by Samsung and Apple and they don't want to play with anybody else. Huawei Mobile in our country is basically useless because of their Google play exit. I had the Huawei pro 2 certainly the nicest real looking Smart watch I've ever had, excellent battery life but limited function. I've had an Apple Watch and now currently Samsung5 pro.

I noticed the speaker on the watch had an intermittent fault after buying, then the battery started to drain within one day. I sent it back for repair twice internationally at my expense, both times had the watch back with the exact same fault. Try calling customer service in the UK before you buy because it doesn't exist. Will never ever spend a single penny on devices from this company again. They make specifications look good on paper but reality is very different.
