HUAWEIBand 4 pro advanced fitness tracker with heart rate, 0.95 Inch Amoled screen, built-in GPS, up to 11 sports mode including professional sports guidance

I have to say I just Love this band. I originally just wanted a watch I could charge and avoid going into shops for battery replacements in my old watches. On this point it did the trick and allows you to change the faces, i'll come back to that though. Now with Covid I have changed all things so I never have to set foot in a shop again!I would normally spend upto £60 on a watch and no more as I'm likely to crack the screen at some point so most smart watches are out for me. Plus I don't want messages and notifications on a watch. I also enjoy going out and leaving the phone at home so no one can get hold of me! I can never justify the expense of some smart watches.The Huawei which I call Harry as I have no idea how to say Huawei fits in my price point but has the bonus of of tracking fitness.I am left handed so wear the watch on my right wrist and it still works and tracks everything.I liked that it came with a red strap. My fave colour is red so I have a red strap on all my watches!Set up was easy. I do not need it constantly on my phone so downloaded the app to my ipad and did the initial set up here. The app is meant for phone but still works on the ipad. I then just sync the watch to the ipad 3 times a day to see how I have done in detail.The app at first does not look much. However the more you exercise and add data the better it looks. After a tracked walk for example you can go into it and it shows the route you took on a map. You can then look at time taken, weight loss etc.If you have the true sleep part enabled it will break your sleep down into deep sleep, light sleep and REM sleep as well as show time falling asleep. However this does not show when you first go to bed to fall asleep. Also there were a few times I woke up but did not move these did not seem to be picked up as waking up. If I woke and moved around they were.If like me you are an IOS user changing the watch faces is not possible through the IOS app. I personally do not like the watch faces already on the band the silly colors behing the time and data make it look like a kiddies watch. If I could have removed the colored balloons for example and just had the time, steps etc I'd have been happy.However if you have access to an android device you can change the faces. Luckily I did try Android once, hated it, but tried it. I still had the Galaxy S5, I downloaded the app on here. For this I had to unlink the watch from the ipad and then join to the Galaxy. I couldn't make it sync to both at the same time. Once done I had extra settings one was a watch face store. I chose 4 analogue faces. With this I was happy. Once again unlinked from the Galaxy and synced back to the ipad. I did have access to a work Asus Zenpad. I tried syncing to this first before the Galaxy. It would not allow me to download the Huawei app to the Zenpad. I'd guess on Android it can only be used on phones.I do find myself liking Huawei a lot. There is a saying an enemy of my enemy is my friend. If the two worst world leaders hate the company then I love it! Who knows if they one day do their own phone OS I may use that?!Settings on the phone are easy to scroll through. I have no use for syncing my phone to is and seeing notifications, messages etc, so the menu for this can be turned off from the app, in my case on the ipad. Any other sections not needed can also be turned off.Again in the app if tracking any area is not needed these can be hidden.I do have heart tracking on all the time and even though on my right wrist it tracks well and I am told by a nurse friend, tracks well.There is another setting that tracks blood oxygen level. This is checked manually. This is good currently as one area covid will effect is oxygen in the blood.Battery for me has lasted roughly 4 days between charges. That is with the true sleep enabled, constant heart monitor always on and raise to wake the screen always on. However the novelty of having sleep fully tracked I disabled today I do not need it. I know full well my sleep is terrible and always has been. Even as a teen I never slept all through the night. Now that beds seem to be getting harder my sleep is even worse. I see no point in tracking it.Even with the true sleep turned off it still does basic sleep tracking.I have also turned off raise to wake to day to see if it makes a difference to battery life.GPS works well and tracks the route well. I can just do a 4KM speed in 31 minutes which I am happy with. Using GPS will again use up battery faster. I imagine if I just used time and steps battery would last over a week.I am good at exercising anyway however I have found this makes you do more. Even though I have seen in testing that no smart band or fitness watch is truly accurate the fact that they make you want to exercise is good. I am lucky to have gym equipment at home from a stand my mountain bike sits on so I can use it as a gym bike, weights, balance board and punch bag and boxing gloves. For the boxing, weights, balance board and just general indoor gym exercise I use the free style setting.I then use the indoor bike setting for the the gym bike.Having a built in GPS is excellent as I love going for long walks so having a GPS tracker in the watch is excellent. It is great for watching the route back later. Some devices need a phone tethered all the time to get GPS data. I often go out and leave the phone home so built in GPS is a real bonus for me.I spent £53 on this device and it was well worth the money for me. The fact I already do lots of workouts was good. This device makes me do more. I often see my step count is only a few hundred from the next 1000 so then go for a quick walk to fill that gap.I would absolutely recommend this device. I only give it bad marks on the hassle I had getting new watch faces and having to use that horrid galaxy again. However it was for only a few minutes.I Love my Harry Watch (Huawei to everyone else!) :-)

Have had this fitness tracker for a couple of weeks and so far am very pleased with it. I bought it to track my heart rate while exercising as it seemed to me there was a danger I might be overdoing things (at my age.....). It does this well, and as far as Which magazine is concerned, it is accurate. It has many other functions that you would expect from a fitness tracker (number of steps per day, Spo2, sleep tracker) which to me are not essential, but useful just the same.The app is good and onboard GPS also works well. I particularly like the display. The device is slightly larger than a Fitbit so the display is bigger, easier to read and in colour. The band is comfortable.There are a few minor negatives. The Help/Manual on the app is OK but could provide more detail and isn't straightforward to navigate. The calories burned per day feature only appears to record calories used up while you are actually moving, so it doesn't tell you how many you have burned in total over a day (if you're interested - I'm not really). Finally, after some relatively heavy exercise, it's telling me that the 'aerobic training effect' is very low, which I find a puzzle.Overall, this is a good piece of equipment and incredibly good value. One downside might be that the Chinese Government is monitoring my somewhat pathetic fitness regime. If so, they're welcome to it.

This is my first tracker, therefore I don't have any basis for comparison. So this is my view of what is a new-to-me high tech device. It's very neat, fits well on my small wrist and the supplied band is comfortable. I soon forget I'm wearing it.Its functions are impressive at the price. The Amazon review format says I have to give it a mark for accuracy. I have checked heart rate and blood oxygen against a proper oximeter and it's good, within 1 or 2. I have no way of knowing if the sleep monitor is good or not but it does record sleep times OK. I think the steps count is optimistic by up to 20%, based on a simple mental count while walking in comparison with what the tracker said. That might be because I'm in my 70's so my steps aren't typical. Maybe. I don't use the message feature so can't comment on that.The GPS kicks in when "workout" is selected and works OK, a bit slow maybe but good enough. It does eat up battery life though. Whatever the blurb says, I have to charge it every 3 or 4 days or so, with GPS in use it's 2 to 3. This is wearling the tracker 24 hours a day though. I've not worn it while swimming nor when doing a gym workout so can't comment on either of those.Overall I'm very happy with this tracker and am enjoying seeing what it thinks I'm up to during my normal day!
