A lot to like with the Huawei Watch 4

I've been a fan of the Huawei watch series ever since they launched their first one and I've seen the constant innovation and added features as they released new ones. Now we've reached the 4th series of the Huawei Watch and this one comes with lots of improvements in sports, lifestyle and health-tracking features.

Considered a groundbreaking smartwatch device this one goes into the eSim territory and can operate independently even without being tethered to a phone.

Setting up

It wasn't difficult to set up the watch upon starting it actually. You unbox it and admire it. Download the Huawei Health app and follow the instructions in adding the device via scan or searching from the devices. Make sure you sign up for a Huawei account if you don't have one yet or log in if tyou already have an existing account. 

Design

So you got it set up already, what's next? Well, play around with it! There's a bunch of things to appreciate in this device. First, the Design. Like some say, don't fix it if it ain't broke, improve. Yoda said that. (not sure about that last one) but seriously, one of the things I liked about the Huawei watches is the subtle class and simplicity of its design. Only if you look closely and use it for a while then you'd fully appreciate it. There have been some significant improvements in the past series. The Huawei Watch 4. 

The Huawei Watch 4 is durable and can take the daily beating whatever that may be. It comes with a Black Stainless Steel Case design with 3D curved glass that brings that aesthetics for a modern style. It has two buttons on the side, one is a rotatable crown giving you an interactive experience. With that crown, you can easily navigate the Huawei Watch apps and functions with ease. 

It's slim on the wrist and it's so lightweight that sometimes I forget that I'm wearing a watch already. It's that comfortable!

Customization

Taking your style to the next level, the HUAWEI WATCH 4 gives you limitless style. Here you can get a variety of themed watch faces fit for any situation.  You can easily remove the strap and replace it with your own then

Better Tracking

Now how do I start with this. there's a lot to unpack and this might be a lot to discuss in one post but let me try. 

ECG, heart rate, SpO2, arterial stiffness, stress levels, skin temperature, and respiratory check. You'd think that this takes a while but it just takes around 60 seconds to generate a micro-physical examination report for users. The Huawei Watch 4 has a One-Click Health Glance that makes it easy to understand health reports and gives you a better understanding and ability to measure different health data. 

One of the features that has been very useful for me is the sleep duration. May it be overnight or short naps, it tracks and this gives me the ability to track medium and long-term changes which have effects on a person's health. 

The reminders to keep moving enable us to develop a healthier lifestyle. There's a community function where you can also connect with your family and friends to share updates and alerts regarding abnormal readings. 

Here are more features:

    TruSeen™ 5.0+ - 8-channel optical heart rate sensor

    HUAWEI TruSleep™ 3.0 - Advanced sleep monitoring which detects the user's duration of sleep and presents the comprehensive sleep structure of sleep and naps, it can accurately report sleep and wake patterns that can go with your alarm. The feature also includes analysis of light sleep, deep sleep, REM sleep, and awake hours. 

Firsts & Only

The HUAWEI WATCH 4 also introduces the first-ever Respiratory Spectrum Analysis algorithm. What is this exactly? How can a smartwatch even connect to your lungs? This innovative feature detects early signs of lung function impairment by monitoring the user's cough patterns. Cool right?

ECG sensor module is something that HUAWEI can be proud of, as the only smartwatch that is equipped with high-performance ECG keeping track of timely alerts connected to major heart health-related risks.

It is the only smartwatch equipped with a high-performance ECG sensor module, keeping track of cardiac rhythm, atrial fibrillation, and premature atrial contractions, providing users with timely alerts of major heart health-related risks. Additionally, the watch features arterial stiffness detection, enabling pro-level screening for arteriosclerosis and offering tips to improve cardiovascular health.

Get fit!

Now, if you're really deep into sports then, HUAWEI has improved this fitness watch even more. The HUAWEI Watch for has more than 100 sports modes which include running, cycling, swimming and golf. It helps users better understand the exercise by providing assessments and suggestions, this definitely helps improve user's fitness performance.

Here's what I liked about the Huawei Watch 4:

1. Style - It's elegant and durable. Black stainless steel case design, 3D curved glass, aesthetic on the wrist, and perfect for wearing daily. It's slim and lightweight.
2. Ease of use - The touchscreen with a rotatable crown makes it so convenient and allows seamless navigation. Also, it can last up to 14 days of battery life in Ultra-Long Battery Life mode so charge less even on long trips. The eSim is something quite new for the Philippine market but is definitely worth noting making the Huawei Watch 4 more designed for the future.
3. Customizable - Show your personality and make it yours depending on your mood, vibe and occasion. From watch faces to straps!
4. Smart & Health features - Keeping you on top of your health, the Huawei Watch 4 gives you a better understanding of your habits and current health situation by giving you insights in tracking your ECG, heart rate, SpO2, arterial stiffness, stress levels, skin temperature, and respiratory check.
5. Sports mode - I don't use this that much aside from the running feature which gives me distance information, pace, and heart rate. Golf is also a feature that is interesting to explore more. But for other athletes, there have more that 100+ sports tracking
