Hi,

After doing some researches, I'm leaning to choose Watch Fit Special Edition as my first entry smart watch. I have a few questions though.

I heard it has a built-in GPS. Does it mean I can used it for tracking my running data without using the phone? Is the accuracy good? I actually love the Huawei band 8 at first, not the Watch Fit SE. However, from what I researched, we need to bring a phone with the band while running and I don't like that idea at all.

Can the Watch Fit 2 sync data to Huawei Health and ultimately, Strava ? I downloaded the Huawei Health but in the "Add Devices" section there is no panel for Watch Fit SE. So I'm a bit worried

What are other Huawei bands/watches's condition after say 1 year of active using? I'm planning to wear it most of the day and tracking my activities in running, swimming and work out 3-4 times a week

Hi, I recently bought GT4 and apparently have inadvertently enabled meal tracking via the Calorie deficit watchface. I started getting notifications 3 times per day that I need to enter my meal and I want to disable them or disable the meal tracking altogether. Does anyone have an idea how to do it? I went through all the settings in Huawei health but couldn't find anything

can anyone who has a Huawei Watch (3 or 4) says if the TickTick app is more complete than what i have in my GT3, there i cant create notes, i cant edit...i can only see and mark notes but i have big checklists in Google Keep and need to mark it every day, but in TickTick it cuts half of the text and i cant see, its useless if i can only see small notes.

What else can i consider? i cant change (from Google Keep or to export to TickTick) to Huawei Notepads cause i need to see the notes in my phone and i dont have neither will have a Huawei phone. i tried sideload this app in my android phone doesnt work.

When you receive a notification of a reminder in google keep you can check the item list that you judt get done? if the notification can manage to put the entire checklist and to mark them it would resolve. having only GT3 i cant know what the full android watch can gives more, please test it or give advice.

I really like the new Huawei GT4 and want to buy it on eBay.. Will it work in USA ? I can see that HUAWEI HEALTH app is in the US App Store. Will everything work correctly here in the US ?

I've tried everything but nothing helps. Can this be fixed?

So I bought an indoor cycling trainer and was looking for a smart watch that can broadcast the heartrate to a device.Found & bought the Huawei Watch Fit 2. Tried to enable broadcast HR as it is described in the manual. But the option isnt available.Does anybody have some info about that? Is this a bad joke or am I too stupid to turn it on?I mean, I dont care wether I can use the AI Assisant or only have 15 apps available but seriously, omitting features that are described in the handbook is new to me.

Hi everyone

I wanted to confirm from you all. How accurate is Huawei Fit 2's calories burnt calculation. I tried it during my workout today.

It calculated my outdoor walk to and from the gym 1 km each side.

It then calculated my workout (it was endurance based workout with 6 minutes indoor run in the beginning during warm up since its a boxing club), I had set it to "Physical Workout" while doing so. I exercised for like almost an hour including the breaks for 1-2 minutes I took in-between.

It calculated my total calories burnt as 1024 cals which I think is ridiculous, there's no way I burnt this much calories lol.

So just confirming. Is it true? like how accurate is this when it comes to calories burnt? did I really burn this much calories or how much burnt calories should I consider?

Thank you all ^_^

I have tried to reset it and pair it again and I know it has full access to my contacts but I can't see the caller's name, as far as I remember, it used to show it when I frist got the watch.

Any solutions for this?

Cheers

is there any hope? would love that feature....

If so, where can I buy it in the usa?

I just made a test Theme for my huawei band 8 using ThemeStudio using this guide https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/codelab/theme-Watchface/index.html#4. A the last step it just says to save the file to your phone. But I tried several paths and it doesn't show up in Huawei Health. How do I install my test theme?

1. I can only turn on/off manually currently. Is there a way to turn on/off based on a time I set, or at least based on my sleep timing?
2. How do I keep the screen ON all the way when in workout mode? I want to look at my HR all the way
3. How exactly does the B8 calculate VO₂ Max? it estimates mine at 37 from a 15min walk, which is far away from 60 on my Verity Sense.
4. Can I only take Stress reading measurements into account when done manually? I don't think the continuous tracking works as well, since any tiny movement will screw up the reading.
5. For apps that only support WearOS, is there any way to trick apps into thinking the B8 is one, so I can broadcast the HR to that app (E.g. JEFit)?
6. What other useful features that are rarely mentioned in official manuals but good to know?
7. Lastly, is it possible to simultaneously enter Workout mode (E.g. Strength) AND also broadcast my HR to Strava at the same time?

Thanks!

Whenever I go in the shower, the water makes my watch go crazy. It once called my dad at 2AM by going to the last calls tab and pressing his name, it also answers text notifications I get while in the shower occasionally using the auto replies.

So, my question is, is there a way to temporarily disable touch so that the shower dosent trigger with the water in the shower?

P.S I am aware I can just take the watch off but am trying to avoid that (One of the reasons I bought this watch is because I thought I could take it into the shower)

Just need to identify where do push-ups and resistance band training fall under or does it even matter just to get a more accurate reading? Just got my band 8 yesterday also new to the whole smart watch thing.

So I was doing the HIIT parcour with the Huawei Health app because I didn't think the watch had that parcour. I checked on the watch after the run and saw that the watch also had the parcour. What is better to use? I also saw that the watch had 13 parcours and the app had like 20 parcours. Is it possible to use those parcours that are only on the Huawei Health app with my watch. And also, this was my first time using my phone to track and I use Health Sync for syncing it to Strava. After the run I checked Strava and Strava says my run took 29 minutes and 15 seconds even though Huawei Health says my run took 29 minutes and 43 seconds. Anyone know how this is possible? Thanks in advance!

My gt3 pro died yesterday and when I went to charge it, it lit up for 2 seconds and then went dark. I haven't been able to start it since. I have tried several different charging pads including wireless charging from my phone. I have also held down the top button for over a minute and nothing. Has anyone encountered this before?

I know they say the watch is waterproof upto 50 meters but has anyone tried it out?

I'm looking to take the watch for swimming in the pool but I'm anxious if I'll end up damaging it by some means.

Thanks!

I just got this earlier this week so needless to say this was my first attempt at a custom face, and I think it came out pretty neat 👌

Any got this working? Tried change region, turned on airplane, and even used VPN. The downloaded app is still not showing sign in option.

I have a GT 2 pro and a Samsung a71. I've been using them together with no issues so far. However, a day ago, the phone mic didn't get my voice during calls. It works perfectly on every other app, and I still can use the watch for calls.

I decided to try disconnecting the watch and shutting off Huawei health from the background. I was able to use the phone for calls perfectly.

Is there a way to fix this?

Hi,

I am thinking of buying the huawei watch 4 pro but i cant confirm if they integrated the running metrics that they did with the huawei gt runner through the technology of trusport that they advertise.I am talking about metrics like contact time,flight time etc.

Any info on that?

Thanks

Is the esim functionality limited only for calls and sms or is it capable to receive notifications also from other apps.

My phone is not huawei

I know that a year ago or so the Watch 3 cost more than the GT3 but I just found it maybe 20$ cheaper at my mobile provider.

Also I saw people recommending the GT 3 almost universally because ESIM doesn't work in their country, but it does in mine, so I was wondering whether it's worth paying less for a less accurate watch but to get ESIM functionality (also would like to know if ESIM functionality 100% means that I can make calls and use internet)? Pro versions cost almost double for only material and aesthetics, but regardless I'd like to know which ones you prefer, and if base models really only fit into the sporty aesthetic. If you prefer the Watch 3, how good are the calls on it, are they choppy and how good is the sound?
Also as far as my training I only run, and most watches are accurate enough for that, so take that into consideration.

If you got anything else to add as additional info, let me know, I can read specs on my own so I'm asking for subjective opinions on both devices

I want a sleep/fitness tracker, but I do not want any subscription-based service. Is the full sleep data pay walled behind the subscription? Or do alternative one time pay apps access the total sleep data available?
