The Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro offers advanced sports tracking, bright OLED display and extensive health features without the cost of an ultra-premium smartwatch, though its software remains limited.
The top end of the smartwatch market is becoming steadily more expensive, but buyers do not necessarily need to spend flagship money to get a capable sports watch. CHIP’s latest value-for-money recommendation is the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, which aims to offer much of the appeal of a premium wearable at a markedly lower price.
According to CHIP, the Watch Fit 4 Pro is particularly strong for people who train regularly and want detailed activity data without moving into the ultra-premium class. The watch supports a wide range of sports and multisport profiles, and its running metrics are especially useful. It is also equipped with GPS, a barometer and support for external Bluetooth sensors, while diving support broadens its appeal beyond standard fitness tracking. Other reviews have reached a similar conclusion: Tech Advisor highlighted the watch’s dual-band GNSS, offline maps and golf features, while Notebookcheck noted support for more than 100 sports modes and water sports tracking.
Huawei has also loaded the Watch Fit 4 Pro with a substantial set of health functions. CHIP says it includes blood oxygen measurement, ECG recording, cycle tracking and a nutrition log, alongside smart widgets and the ability to take calls through the built-in microphone and speaker. Notebookcheck similarly pointed to sleep monitoring, continuous heart rate tracking and stress measurement. The display is another strong point. CHIP describes the OLED panel as very bright and easy to read in difficult lighting, while Digital Trends also praised the brightness of the AMOLED screen.
The hardware and controls are another part of the watch’s appeal. CHIP says the rotating crown and customisable side button make the interface comfortable to use, and TechRadar likewise found the crown and shortcut button responsive. Wireless charging is included, which is uncommon in this price range. Battery life is respectable rather than class-leading: CHIP says the watch lasts just under six days in normal use and around 24 hours with GPS active, while TechRadar and Tech Advisor reported longer figures under lighter or mixed conditions. The main trade-offs are in software and convenience. CHIP points to very small text that cannot be resized, no web app for analysis, no Wi-Fi, limited storage and mobile payments that require an additional app. TechRadar and Digital Trends also noted the lack of broader app support and some software limitations, underlining that the Watch Fit 4 Pro is best seen as a well-equipped fitness watch rather than a full premium smartwatch.
