[@fradesjo]

I gave my Apple Watch to my daughter and bought myself Huawei GT4. The battery life blows me away. .Also,I personally like the shape as well. Feel masculine and timeless. Other functiionalities are more or less the same with other smart watches. Also worth mentioning, it doesn't force you to use Huawei phone. You can pair it with iPhone or Android just fine

[@joem1670]

Will apple music work. Can you at least control the music on iphone with it. This is only reason I cannot jump to huawei. Please advise

[@fradesjo]

@@joem1670 Yes it can! Works with AppleMusic, Spotify, KZbin music as well. From the watch home screen, swipe to the right and you'll see Smart Assistance screen. You can control the music from there just like with Apple Watch

[@joem1670]

Nevermind. I bought the watch and yes you can control your music via bluetooth running ios!

Currently have one of Huawei's phones but not the watch itself. Great review. It gives us an honest and thorough discussion of the product itself.

[@spideyking1924]

Can this connect to an external heart rate monitor for better accuracy?

[@ByAliiTR]

what is the phone model you used in the video? thanks

[@xiuzhanie5303]

Last time auto paused features not available, need to paused manually. Does this features already available now?

[@khalisz]

Thanks for this great video. This new GT4 is such awesome. I currently own great GT2. I'll upgrade to this GT4. ;-)

[@kop1986]

I have gt2 pro but i also had the gt3 and gt3 sports edition but i had awful experience with the heartrate sensor it just would not rise above 151 on both watches and i could never find out why this was, so it would hold me back from getting the 4 unless i was certain the problem was fixed

[@tahayakit]

Will the huawei gt4 pro model come out later?

[@npi243]

Can you get your hands on the Amazfit Balance and review the watch?

Are huawei watches conpatible with Fitness Apps like Samsung Health or Google Fit?

[@glenn1964]

Huawei always make excellent products. A bit expensive, but you always get high quality. Smartphones, Watches, etc.etc.

[@yankis.]

If Huawei is expensive I don't even know what to say about Apple.

Will Huawei watch gt 4 pro be released?

[@ottogilovalle7810]

Great job with the review, Thanks.

[@TeamVRY]

I'm curious, what material is the rear panel made of?

[@e1nherjar1]

I have seen them today in person in a shop. They are very nice and I see them around me being worn more more! Bravo to Huawei!

[@Techtablets]

Yes they are!

[@hanos4082]

Looks really stylish! Does this watch have an auto pause function (that's not depending on a Huawei phone) on when tracking activities?

[@skye0613]

it does

[@Funmap66]

Thanks for the comprehensive review. I assume it is not tracking cycling automatically or does that work now?

[@Techtablets]

No you have to start it manually, but it only takes a few seconds. Otherwise i think sitting in a car or bus it will think you're cycling maybe. So can't be done automatically.

[@user-em7hp8bh3e]

How can I REMOVE the SMART ASSISTANCE window when you swipe to the right from the watch face?

[@rjaxel6853]

i got the wacth and im very happy with the watch and nice functions

[@timstoun]

Do they send the data to strava?

[@aitorglez6719]

Does it have moon phases and tide information?

[@ScientistPrepper]

Great help. Thank you.

[@AhmadHasanSux]

Very thorough review, thanks One question though, does it support music controls when paired with an Iphone?

[@Dimadawai]

yes it does

[@brucelin5842]

Does it have training load etc?

[@chanpasadopolska]

Yo I have just bought it and I want to know where is option to record voice? I cannot find it anywhere and I will be majorly disappointed if there would be no option for this

[@AA-ou2ye]

Great review and video can you compare it too the Huawei watch ultimate which is currently still their flagship. I am just unsure of some of the sensors are actually newer and better on this watch though.

[@xiondFirst]

It is newer and it uses AI tracking and is amongst the best now. It learns from you and other stuff, data collection am I right?

[@TheGconrad]

Where can you buy these?

[@Metthyn80]

Does GT 4 have lactate threshold test?

[@MI-go6yh]

Where can I get the camera option?

[@jensschreiner5351]

Is there an app on the phone you can input the meals or food stuff or do you need to add it on the watch itself? Is it generic (so I input I've had 650kcal for breakfast) or is there an actual database like in the app Yazio?

[@Dimadawai]

Yes, you can use for your case huaweis health app to track your meals. It works really good

[@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

[@Techtablets]

No just connected via Bluetooth. And you rub the app to sync the info from the watch.

[@carloscasanashernandez7392]

@@Techtablets So you recommend an Apple Watch better than this GT4 to use it with an iPhone, right?

Thanks for the review. I wish you'd spent more time on the calendar app which is the first time Huawei integrates one on their watch and advise if it was compatible with other android phones or iOS though....

[@Techtablets]

When I showed the app I mentioned apple and Android compatible. Sorry there was a lot to cover so just a short time on the calendar app.

[@karinapaviotti6348]

I've bought this watch and I don't have some features, for example app store and calories. Is it because I am using Iphone, or because I am based in Netherlands?

What about WhatsApp calls, is the watch capable of answering them?

ive had it for a few days - I love the love and quality materials - but why I cant I type a response for text msges?? or whatsapp? And no wallet payment support in Canada .These are borderline gamebreakers (coming off the pixel watch 2 which was too small but actually could use a lot of features ie respond and type to notifications)....This lack of responses is a big miss for the GT4!

[@Techtablets]

Yes but not working with banking apps at least with the ones I use and here I Spain I can make payments with it. Not yet.

[@melvinwarmpf1264]

@@Techtablets So the "No NFC" is a bit misleading. In Germany it works, but only through a service called Bluecode. It is sadly not available for a lot of stores. Only 3 store in a 15km radius around where I live support it (I live a bit rural though). Luckily my banking app has its own phone payment app, so I can at least use it on my non GMS phone. By the way: Is side loading apks still possible?

[@Cassadin1410]

10hgps with aod on or off? Thats the pretties SW on market and if that get payments than could be just number one. Thats. Why i m looking to TW5P,venu 3 and probably my next watch amazfit balance. I like venu 3 but high price and cheap plastic look .

[@Agnaangga]

Where?

[@saraakerblom1549]

I had the GT2 and I would want to see an upgraded app with the pace on a map so you can see where you ran faster or/and slower with colours (like Garmin has). I bought a Garmin Forerunner but I want my Huawei back 😅 Garmin feels so plastic and old-fashioned..

I have the GT3 and it's working great, so I'll probably keep it until the GT5.

[@MickPayton]

Can I ask, did you notice at any time that the heart rate reading suddenly dropped very low, for example 37bpm?

[@Techtablets]

No the lowest was 48 when I was sleeping but normally mid 50s which is normal for me since I have been riding a lot. The accuracy is within 5 heart beats they clam.

[@MickPayton]

​@@Techtablets Okay, thanks for your reply. I've had 2 GT3 Pro's and both have sudden drops to lower than 40bpm at least 6 times a day, I've tried different wrists and positions and still the same.

[@martinangelomooney1010]

Im still rocking the GT3 Classic and I love the design. I have an iphone but I prefer the GT3 because of the battery life and it is a beauty compared to an apple watch that only last a day or 50/50 2 days and I hate square watches. I'll be checking that GT4 soon.

Yet you cannot change watch settings. Going to 24 hr format from 12 hr format independently.

[@kennyzraht5804]

This is nuts, I just ditched my Apple Watch 6 and picked up again my "old" GT2 Pro, because I got sick of paying 3rd party apps on top of the nearly 500 Euros I paid for that phone on my wrist. Apple basically outsourced all the decent health features to 3rd party developers, and they charge you annual fees. So I gave up and went with Huawei. Maybe at some point I will get the newer one, but even the GT2 Pro is still doing well!

[@Techtablets]

Yes and not to mention the trash battery life Apple watches have. I'm glad some people see the value ion these watches I think they are great for anyway that doesn't need WearOS or NFC Payments in a watch. I certainly don't, calls and all the health tracking. I have my phone for Apps and Gpay etc.
