Huawei WATCH GT 4 (Stainless Steel) - Brutally Honest Review - iOS Compatibility - Should you Buy?

Reviewing the newly launched Huawei Watch GT4. Priced at only £229 for a stainless steel smartwatch is quite impressive.
The Huawei Watch GT4 is 46mm in diameter, watch case is made from Stainless Steel, finished in a shiny space grey colour. There are time markings going all the way round, with a tiny bezel in between and smooth plastic finish on the back which almost looks and feels like ceramic. So no doubt super premium build quality.
Runing Hamony OS v4, the OS is light, feature packed and very user-friendly in operation.
Huawei Watch GT4 comes with a beautiful 1.43” AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 466 x 466 and 326ppi but no gorilla class protection included, it looks like we have 2.5/3D Curved Glass.
In this video I have tried and tested Huawei Watch GT4 with an iPhone 14 Pro and a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Sharing all my thoughts and experiences in detail.

[@nickfoxy]

Great, clear and very helpful review. Thanks very much, we appreciate you doing these Chigz.

[@user-cx6rg6mr7d]

Thank you!! is there anyway to adjust the brightness of the always on display(auto/maunal)? if not, the brightness of the always on display of GT4 brighter than GT3/pro? thank you!

[@pang511]

Whats the best smart watch between Garmin venu 3/GT4/GT3 Pro or even GT 4 Pro? Have you got even better option than these few with similar price range? I normally use it to workout a lot and play different sports like badminton

[@xiuzhanie5303]

Last time i move to Amazfit because Huawei cycling tracking apps not auto paused, does it improved now?

[@MohamedElsebai]

Thanks. Finally a review that makes sense!

[@SmokeyStoner]

Great review. But how long does it take to download and install watch faces and apps on the watch with no WiFi?

[@paulojorgesantos1176]

Can the watch control the music on iphone?

[@handsomewong2469]

Stunning!

[@jagfanlad4828]

thanks for these videos Chigz , please have you done a video review on the Huawei watch 3 GT PRO LIKE the look off the watch 3 Gt pro and its more affordable price. are you aware if this watch 3 Gt pro can also accept phone calls and it works ok takes and can also dial out , using the watch, via bluetooth. I believe the E- SIM function is not supported by the uk england mobile networks now or possibly vodaphone does or did support e-SIM DATA AND CALLS do you know anything mate. thanks

[@henrike22]

Can you control music apps on iPhone, like Soundcloud? Volume and next track?

[@kevbal3510]

What was the 'width' of your wrist when you shot this? Not circumference. I see how it fits on you, so I am just trying to get an idea of how large it may 'look'. Thx

[@psialt9720]

Thank you for such comprehensive review

[@thomasgreenberg9723]

Good job, well done mate. Thank You.

[@alanwalker1852]

Can you turn bluetooth off when using for sleep tracker

[@vargeszter]

Will you review the 41 mm version?

[@Finland.Travels]

Does it have nightmode to block blue light? Must have for any clock.

[@brucelin5842]

Can you listen to Spotify on the watch? If not how do u transfer the music on your phone to gt4? I’m using Samsung ..

[@coolissimo69]

Bro if I have my earbuds connected to my phone by BT , can the watch connect same time???

[@user-tr5bm6ps3v]

Very very wonderful information

[@dhirajshetty483]

Excellent 👌🏻 thank you

[@mramboj]

Great vid and very informative. Just one question, I am visually impaired and use the talkback screen reader on my old samsung watch. Does this have the talkback facility, as I am thinking of swapping

[@patrickcadette]

For the price you are getting an awesome watch..😁😁😁👍👍👍.thanks chigz

[@johan-garcia]

Thanks for the review!! What happen with music apps like spotify, you can change the music? put play/stop and all music functions?

[@guille8756]

Only on android

[@Bounisios]

Does it have flight mode?

[@carloscasanashernandez7392]

Is it necessary to have the Health application open in the background on the iPhone to make the mobile ring when you want to look for it? And one last question... does it disconnect very often from the iPhone if you move far away from the mobile phone? And if it does, does it reconnect quickly? Thank you

[@menifo4334]

As if he would know or care!

[@danezu791]

my GT3 looks stunning in that deep black case and strap. Usually I buy the newest models but It looks the case is not black, which I do not like and not going to switch over.

[@paulotrindade163]

Hello! Thanks for this review! Is it possible to install apps on watch and is it possible synchronize app callendar with Google calendar? Thank you!

[@KarimLikes2Play]

No EKG? May be for the gt4 pro?

[@ivanaldoariesandy979]

How about the the petals maps on ios? Does it work fine?

[@nopants3560]

My Apple Watch battery lasts about 6 hours , it’s the original so I’m holding on to it ( I have mint box etc) but I need something clear and good for the gym. Is it waterproof??

[@MrDefeater94]

When you receive any notification with an emoji, can the watch display emojis?

[@domino5711]

Can you skip tracks and see the currently playing title on it while it’s connected to iPhone?

[@Francesco-bb5uk]

what is the name of the dial in the video (the yellow one with the writing Huawei), it was the default then it was accidentally deleted and I can't find it anymore, thanks

[@moonahmedaf]

Should i buy apple series 9 or this gt4 I do like the style of gt4

[@fengcarlos]

Can I change the units to Lbs and Miles?

[@petarmiloradovic5374]

What if I configure the gt4 with an Android device(i own a samsung tablet) so i can transfer the music i need, set the quick replies and then use them with the iPhone? Im 100% sure that i can play the music but what about quick replies? Can i use them if i have set them previously using the android device??? (My english sucks sry i apolagise for that, dont hate me for that, im trying to learn)

[@AhmadHasanSux]

Thanks for the review I have one question though, when paired with an iphone, does watch support controlling music playback? Like Spotify? Can I play/pause? Skip tracks?

[@joem1670]

I would like to know this as well. If i cannot control music this might be a deal breaker. I dont care to add music to the watch.

[@guille8756]

Android yes, iphone nope. It's all in the watch description at Huawei site

[@manuelight]

that really sucks... apple needs to build round smart watches that are more durable than their current ones, otherwise im switching to android@@guille8756

[@karolsendrei3152]

Waw, very nice review of this watch. I'm really impressed. This is how review should look like. Well done for you work, keep it up....I'm using currently Huawei watch Fit 2 and soon I will definitely buy these GT4... My worry is, will they work with Pixel 8 Pro?... I had a problem to enable notifications when I paired my Watch fit with Pixel 6 Pro 🤷

[@xiondFirst]

Yeah they will work, it just won't be as well integrated as Pixel Watch. Not only that the health tracking on this is better than every Wear OS watches including Samsung Galaxy watches. It's insane how good this watch is.

[@shameeralivp5315]

Masha allah nice review specially i like background music so nice feel.. please don't change this music because of your identity ❤️❤️❤️

[@mark5169]

how come my apps gallery is missing from the GT4 or phone

[@giannigda]

Io ho acquistato il GT4 nero ed era perfetto ,soprattutto con il sensore battiti. Ma aveva un problema , se lo tenevo fuori al terrazzo esposto al sole , dopo 6 7 minuti ,mi dava il messaggio di surriscaldmento. Peccato perché mi piaceva tanto. Ora ho preso il GT3 pro sperando non accada di nuovo il problema

[@althafmohamedali8453]

Thank you for the great review. Appreciate your advice since some of the Huwawei Health App features shown on your video on the iPhone 14 Pro are not visible on the iPhone 13 Pro I’m using paired with the Huwawei GT4

[@alessandrofrikis561]

Does it have sapphire crystal?

[@milosstanojevic7322]

Does this clock have the ability to track the track?

[@lokwilliam8352]

Beautiful watch 🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍

[@juddharajrai441]

It has no system of checking blood pressure and blood sugar level?

Does the watch have built-in storage ?

At the end , found my favourite smartwatch..

Blood pressure from a watch is impossible 😂

Do you use It with an iPhone?

[@GiPe313]

Great video, and good watch, I recently bought it. Even if you show it is possible, it seems there is no way (from iPhone) of getting WhatsApp, or any message notification on the watch. Ok for calls, great for sensors, training stats. If someone had the same issue and solved it, feel free to share.

[@Tehral]

Sadly same issue

[@havencat9337]

awesome watch!

[@kyuuyu00]

Can you sync with strava?

Huwaei GT4 prices £199 and Garmin instinct 2 standard for £185 .Among these 2 watches which is compatible for i phone and for health monitoring

[@smokeyliver5736]

Why does my Watch count steps when i just move my hand?

Хочу перейти с apple watch8. Так и не смог привыкнуть каждый день заряжать… был бы еще huawei такого же форм фактора как apple

[@leswells27]

I have the gt2 which I love when I tried to connect it to my new pixel 6pro it won't allow notifications it says for my security

[@kop1986]

Iv just got my GT4 (green) for Christmas and I'm having the same issue with it as I Did with the GT3 and GT3 SE and it's the heart-rate it just will not rise above 151bpm no matter how hard I work it,it reaches 151 then just stays there then drops to normal bpm when I stop...I never had this problem with the GT2 but it's happening on all there other watches,it's too much of a coincidence for it to be a fault in the watch so is it something in the watches default settings I need to change ... Please help me someone?? 😅

[@guille8756]

Sometimes the Huawei app caps it play around there. Fixed mine

[@kop1986]

​@@guille8756Really?? Iv completely reset the app a number of times and went through every possible setting but no luck...What problem did you have??

[@KasKade7]

You should compare it with the Huawei Watch GT3Pro. They're about the same price. You will discover they have about the same features, but the GT3pro is made from titanium and has sapphire crystal glass. Much better materials. Also a even better battery than GT4. Sometimes it's better to stick to older models.

[@user-qd4gf8hg8f]

the new GT4 is lighter, has new sensor, the thing that shows sleeping schedule and the thing that counts calories difference for ur food and exercises

[@Kpap82]

Gt 4 has a new sensor 5.5 instead of 5.0 ,

[@snajperSLO]

@@Kpap82 the GT 4 HR performance is a bit worse than the GT 3 Pro's... Not much but it is less accurate and reliable, not something to worry about but as said before the GT 3 Pro is just made from better materials for almost the same price. Sleep tracking is bad on both of them...

[@DeneF]

​@@snajperSLOHow could anybody sleep with Big Ben on their wrist anyway? Lol.

[@tothemoon22]

I wonder if the watch support card payments through NFC

[@sopheaklam1206]

Hello all friends, does this watch support any map app?

[@b-tale]

why doesnt mine has remote shutters? anyone has same issue?

[@ijazzy2011]

Why didn't you do a review of the Huawei Watch 4 Pro?

[@77BLAZER77]

I had the GT2 pro with so many free watch faces but i recently got the GT4 watch and now this option is gone, when i go to the app on my phone and check the watch faces nothing comes up, I can only see the paid faces and there isnt an option for free, why is this? how can it be fixed?

[@user-qo8pl8fd4w]

There should be a free version on the app

[@builditontutorial]

hello friend does the watch support huawei wallet

[@user-nr2xh3oq2d]

Thanks for the decent review! Will GT4 work properly and flawlessly with samsung galaxy s22 ultra?

[@thelinkx2022]

I think I'm Huawei watches the premium design is watch GT2 pro 😊

[@Tehral]

But you cant reply to messages on iphone at all :(

[@kennyzraht5804]

75g for a fitness tracker, is a bit too heavy..methinks. Amazing looking watch, but way too heavy.

[@jefferygeorgy5491]

Hey Chigz!!! how are you??

[@ChigzTech]

I'm good thanks for asking.

[@WillingTan]

Would you say that Watch 4 Pro is more premium than Watch GT 4?

[@ChigzTech]

Defo not, the Watch 4 Pro is super premium, titanium and sapphire glass, therefore double the price.

[@gr33nway]

Black one looks so like ultimate model.. a cheap version

Still no smart watch on the market that can measure blood pressure accurately?

[@guille8756]

Lol, even the cuffs don't really give accurate readings

[@Ahmed-jh6qf]

is it plastic ??!!! 1:58

[@kop1986]

So after more inspection with the problem I have with the GT4 heart-rate sensor during a workout the accuracy is actually perfect no problem at all,the problem is the HR sensor during normal day to day use when there is no exercise mode on it goes to 151 bpm which is fine but then just stays there and won't go above it no matter what .Would anyone have a reason why this would be?

[@jameshunter2993]

How did you do it in the days before smartwatches...seems to make you paranoid.

[@kop1986]

Held my figures to my wrist counted the beats for 15 seconds then multiplied that number by 4

Does it have BP monitoring????
