HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro review – A stylish and robust companion for everything from golf to diving

The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro just hit South African shelves, and we spent a few days putting it to the test.

We found that it offers everything you need for daily life – from a stylish design and comfortable strap, to a phenomenal battery life and intuitive interface.

Beyond daily life, its powerful Golf Mode, 40 metre diving capabilities, and extensive health, fitness, and mood tracking make the WATCH FIT 4 Pro one of the best smartwatches on the market.

All of this is available at an exceptional price starting from just R4,999.

Watch our review of the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro below.

Potent display and powerful battery

With the WATCH FIT 4 Pro, the first thing that stands out is its bright AMOLED display.

At 3,000 nits, this 1.82-inch screen is Huawei’s brightest smartwatch display ever, and ensures you can easily read and navigate it even in bright sunlight.

Its 480×408 resolution also ensures that everything looks crisp and clear.

This panel is housed by an incredibly stylish chassis that is super durable, thanks to premium materials like an aluminium body and a titanium alloy bezel.

The body provided a reassuringly robust feel while maintaining a refined, slim form factor. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT4 Pro measures just 9.3mm thick and weighs an unobtrusive 30.4 grams.

Its strap perfectly fits into this design aesthetic, too, offering a refined and comfortable feel thanks to its soft nylon material.

Behind the WATCH FIT 4 Pro’s exquisite design is a powerful battery that delivers exceptional battery life.

This is one of the biggest pain points of most smartwatches, with many barely lasting a full day, but the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro gave me seemingly endless use without hustling for a charger.

It offers the following:

  • Maximum charge – up to 10 days
  • Typical use – up to 7 days
  • AOD (Always On Display) – up to 4 days

When the battery was running low, it was easy to power up again thanks to the integration of wireless charging and the included wireless charging puck. It also reached a full charge within just 60 minutes.

Having a watch that doesn’t need daily charging completely changes how you use it.

I could track my sleep, workouts, and daily activities without worrying about battery life or constantly looking for a charger.

Extensive features, easy navigation

The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro focuses on delivering genuinely useful tools that are easy to use.

Navigation is smooth and responsive, with swiping through widgets, glancing at health stats, and selecting workout modes all working flawlessly.

This is because the HarmonyOS interface is clean and straightforward, allowing me to focus on what I needed without unnecessary distractions.

Huawei’s new TruSense System really impressed me with its depth and accuracy. It continuously monitored my heart rate, blood oxygen levels, respiratory rate, and even sleep breathing.

It also includes ECG functionality, arterial stiffness detection, and temperature monitoring – ensuring I could easily track my health.

There is also a brand-new air pressure sensor for weather prediction, giving you access to key metrics like altitude, maximum altitude, cumulative ascent, cumulative descent, and air pressure data, which can be crucial.

Menstrual and ovulation tracking are great for women, using temperature-based data processed directly on the device for extra privacy and accuracy.

Whatever metric you’re monitoring, all of your data can sync with the Huawei Health app, which makes it easy to review trends and spot any changes.

Workout modes for just about everything

Whether you’re a casual walker or an active athlete, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro has you covered, ranging from running and cycling to more specialised activities like diving and even golf.

If you’re trail running or hiking, Huawei’s Sunflower Positioning System accurately tracks your routes and gives you feedback on your distance covered and pace.

Golfers will appreciate features like accurate tracking for over 15,000 golf courses with dynamic club distance readings, while divers can track freediving sessions up to 40 metres deep with real-time depth data.

I also enjoyed the new Emotional Wellbeing Assistant, which monitors stress and mood using physiological signals.

Throughout my workday, it subtly updated its reading and adjusted my watch face animations based on my current stress levels.

Verdict

The watch handled everything I needed – instant notifications, clear Bluetooth calls, onboard music for workouts, and smooth, reliable performance throughout.

It also works with both Android and iOS, making it perfect for any ecosystem.

Overall, it delivers where it counts. The premium design feels great on the wrist, the display is stunningly bright, the battery life is outstanding, and the health and fitness tracking are genuinely useful.
