The HUAWEI Watch Fit 4 Pro is an impressive addition to the smartwatch market, particularly for Android users drawn to a design reminiscent of the Apple Watch.
At first glance, it evokes a strong sense of déjà vu for anyone familiar with Apple’s smartwatches. The minimalist, rounded-square design closely mirrors the Apple Watch, with its flat sapphire crystal display and the prominent digital crown. The 1.82-inch AMOLED screen impresses with its brightness and clarity, achieving peak brightness up to 3,000 nits, making it easily readable in various lighting conditions.
The sleek profile and pronounced titanium alloy bezel of the Fit 4 Pro enhance its attractive appearance. Despite its slightly asymmetrical design, the 9.3mm thick body sits comfortably flat on the wrist. Although the Pro model is a bit heavier than the standard version (30.4g vs.
27g), it remains lightweight due to its thin aluminum construction. However, the colorful accents on the digital crown—available in lime green, blue, or red—can detract from the otherwise clean aesthetic. Much like its hardware, the software of the Watch Fit 4 Pro draws inspiration from Apple.
HUAWEI’s interface is intuitive, sporting a modern UI with straightforward controls. A variety of watch faces are available, albeit some feel overly branded. The UI is responsive, with seamless navigation through workout modes, health metrics, and settings.
The watch is remarkably compatible with both iOS and Android phones, although certain features may be less consistent for iPhone users. Basic smart features include Bluetooth calling, notifications, texts, emails, and third-party apps. However, there’s no NFC support for contactless payments in many regions, which is a downside compared to some competitors.
One minor but appreciated feature is the app library’s interface, where turning the digital crown shrinks the icons to show app titles—a helpful tool for users with numerous apps. One of the most significant strengths of the Watch Fit 4 Pro is its battery life. HUAWEI claims up to 10 days on a single charge, though the always-on display reduces this.
In real-world usage, the watch lasted nearly four days before needing a recharge, offering a substantial improvement over the daily charging required by some other smartwatches. Charging the watch takes about an hour using its wireless charger. The HUAWEI Watch Fit 4 Pro excels in health and fitness tracking.
It includes comprehensive health sensors for continuous heart rate and SpO2 monitoring, sleep stage tracking, stress analysis, heart rate variability (HRV), and ECG functionality. Additionally, it offers skin temperature and respiratory rate monitoring, aligning closely with other high-end wearables in its price range. The watch supports over 100 sports modes, with the Pro model adding features like free diving support (up to 40 meters), apnea training, and safety features.

Golfers benefit from swing tracking, driving range mode, and maps for over 15,000 global courses. During activities, the digital crown allows for easy mid-workout input: a quick tap pauses the clock, while a long hold ends the workout.
While the voice announcements for workouts can be loud, they provide useful real-time feedback on pace, heart rate zones, and more. Regarding accuracy, the TruSeen 6.0 heart rate sensor performed well, with readings closely matching those of a dedicated chest strap during high-intensity workouts. The GPS also proved accurate, with tracked routes nearly identical to those recorded by an Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Overall, the HUAWEI Watch Fit 4 Pro is a robust competitor in the smartwatch arena, especially for Android users seeking a stylish, functional wearable with excellent health and fitness features. Though some iOS functionalities and everyday conveniences like NFC payments are lacking, the Pro model’s design, battery life, and comprehensive tracking capabilities make it a worthy contender. I’ve been running for a while now, mostly for fun and to stay active.
I even set some ambitious goals in the past, like completing a marathon last year—but honestly, I never really paid much attention to my running form or technique. Well, not until now. As part of my renewed commitment to running, I dived deeper into Huawei’s Watch Fit 4 Pro’s running plan, and I’m genuinely surprised by the results so far.
Huawei’s latest all-around smartwatch is designed to be an advanced fitness tool. One of its core features is an AI-driven training algorithm tailored for sports like running, cycling, and even golf. Given my running journey since 2023, I naturally opted to test the running plan.
The Fit 4 Pro feels like having a personal running coach right on your wrist, specifically designed to help runners achieve milestones—like completing a 5K in under 30 minutes, which is my current goal. The watch combines structured training schedules with real-time, voice-assisted guidance, making each session feel technically accurate and tailored specifically to my fitness level. When you select a running plan (I chose the 5K option), the Huawei Health app generates a structured, multi-week training schedule.
Huawei says the method is based on sports science principles of periodization—starting off gently, gradually increasing intensity, consolidating improvements, and tapering down to optimize your final run. Each week’s program is thoughtfully diversified, featuring easy-paced runs, interval sessions, and tempo workouts. For instance, during one session, a metronome pinpointed the pace directly in my ear.
It was incredibly helpful, giving me a clear sense of rhythm and pacing. For me, this structured guidance is a game-changer. I’ve always wanted to improve my running form but realistically, I’m not disciplined enough to research and create such precise training schedules by myself.
What’s particularly impressive about the Watch Fit 4 Pro is how adaptive and interactive it is. The AI-powered coaching continuously analyzes my performance and adjusts subsequent workouts accordingly. If I push too hard one week, the watch dials back the intensity the next; if I’m cruising through workouts, it raises the difficulty.
This ensures I consistently train at the right intensity. In my experience, setting clear goals, having a detailed plan, and analyzing progress are crucial elements of effective training. The Watch Fit 4 Pro incorporates all these aspects seamlessly through its voice-assisted virtual coaching.
This real-time feature is like having a trainer beside you, communicating via your earbuds or the watch speaker. During runs, it offers timely updates about pace, heart rate, and distance, along with actionable cues—telling me when to speed up or slow down. This keeps my attention on the run and ensures I stay on track.
My main goal is improving my 5K personal record, aiming for around 30 minutes. The training plan is straightforward: by the end, I should comfortably hit that target. The watch provides tangible milestones and detailed performance data like the Running Ability Index (RAI), calculated from my heart rate and running pace.
But beyond metrics, what really stood out for me was how easy it became to recognize and address issues with my running form. I have a significant Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) issue in my left knee from adolescence, causing me to shift my weight disproportionately to my right leg. The Huawei Health app visually highlighted this imbalance using movement sensors in the watch.
Seeing it clearly represented in data charts prompted me to consciously correct it. In my last session, I actively adjusted my running posture, immediately noticing activation in different muscle groups and improved balance during recovery. I can’t speak for every training course Huawei offers, but the science and technology behind the running plan are genuinely making me a better runner.
The Watch Fit 4 Pro delivers a smart, evidence-based approach to training, combining AI-driven insights with real-time coaching to provide a comprehensive training experience. For anyone looking to up their running game, this smartwatch might just be the perfect running companion.
