Sleek, Ultra-Thin Design
The Watch Fit 4 Pro features a rectangular 1.82-inch AMOLED display with a titanium frame, aluminium front, and sapphire glass for scratch resistance. The Fit 4 uses an aluminium case with a slightly less rectangular design and 2,000 nits brightness (vs. 3,000 nits for Pro). Both resemble the Apple Watch but offer unique style for UK users. Explore Fit 4 straps.
Two side buttons—a rotating crown (home button) and a sport button (starts/stops workouts)—are customizable for user convenience.
Sports Features
Both models support over 100 sports modes (running, swimming, cycling, yoga) with dual-band five-system GNSS for precise GPS tracking. The Pro adds offline maps and checkpoint navigation for outdoor enthusiasts. Activity goals are displayed via rings (standing, exercise, calories) and the Health Clovers app, which includes sleep quality and steps.
Health Features
Both watches monitor heart rate, stress, SpO2, sleep, and menstrual cycles. The Pro exclusively offers ECG (30-second heart rhythm check) and skin temperature sensors for fever or ovulation tracking, using advanced sensors for greater accuracy during sports. Explore Fit 4 Pro straps.
Note: Not a medical device; measurements are for reference only.
Battery Life
Both models share a 400mAh battery: up to 10 days (standby), 7 days (normal), or 4 days (AOD). Real-world use yields 5-7 days, outpacing many competitors. Charging takes 75 minutes (Fit 4) or 60 minutes (Pro) via a magnetic wireless dock, with 10 minutes providing a day’s use.
HarmonyOS
Due to sanctions, Huawei uses HarmonyOS and AppGallery, lacking Google services like Gmail or Maps. AppGallery offers fewer apps than WearOS or watchOS but supports Huawei Health, AI-driven coaching, notifications, and seamless Huawei device integration. It’s compatible with Android and iOS, though less optimized for Apple’s ecosystem.
Price and Availability
Watch Fit 4: From £149 (Black, Silver). Limited-time offer (until 30 June 2025): £17 off, reducing to ~£132.
Watch Fit 4 Pro: From £249 (Black, Silver/Green, Silver/Blue). Limited-time offer (until 20 June 2025): £34 off, reducing to ~£215.
These prices offer excellent value compared to competitors. Expect further reductions over time, making the series even more attractive for UK buyers. Explore Huawei chargers.
