Huawei Watch Fit 4 Review: Calls, Waterproof & Price

Few fitness trackers manage to combine long battery life, a bright display, and water resistance at a price that doesn’t make you wince. The Huawei Watch Fit 4 does exactly that — and Irish shoppers are starting to take notice.

Battery Life: Up to 10 days ·
Water Resistance: IP6X / 40m dive depth ·
Peak Brightness: Up to 3,000 nits (Pro) ·
Weight: Approx. 21 g (without strap)

Seven key specs — with one standout: the Watch Fit 4 packs both ECG and a bright AMOLED display at a price that challenges the mid‑range.

Is the Huawei Watch Fit 4 good for fitness and daily use?

Key fitness tracking features

• ECG and arterial stiffness tracking (T3 (tech review site))
• Built‑in GPS with 30% more accurate positioning than previous systems (Digital Reviews (consumer electronics publication))
• Compatible with both iPhone and Android (T3 (tech review site))

Battery life and display quality

The Watch Fit 4 Pro’s 1.82-inch AMOLED panel (T3 (tech review site)) reaches 3,000 nits — bright enough for outdoor runs. Battery life is rated at up to 10 days, and a full charge takes about 60 minutes (T3 (tech review site)). The standard Watch Fit 4 likely offers similar endurance, though Huawei hasn’t published separate figures.

The implication: the Watch Fit 4 series redefines expectations for what a sub-€200 fitness tracker can deliver, especially in battery endurance.

Can Huawei Watch Fit 4 make a call or answer calls?

Calling capability via Bluetooth

Yes — the Watch Fit 4 can make and receive calls, but only when paired to a phone via Bluetooth. The watch has a built‑in speaker and microphone (T3 (tech review site)). Once connected, you can dial out from the watch’s contacts list or answer an incoming call without pulling out your phone.

Microphone and speaker specifications

Both the standard and Pro models include the same audio hardware. Digital Reviews (consumer electronics publication) notes the call quality is clear enough for short conversations, though it’s not a substitute for a phone handset.

The pattern: the calling feature is a convenience add-on, not a standalone solution, which keeps the device slim and affordable.

Is Huawei Watch Fit 4 waterproof and does it have a SIM card slot?

Water resistance rating

The Watch Fit 4 Pro carries an IP6X dust rating and is certified for diving up to 40 metres (T3 (tech review site)). That makes it safe for swimming, showering, and snorkelling. The standard Watch Fit 4 is expected to share the same rating, though Huawei hasn’t confirmed separately.

SIM card slot and standalone connectivity

Neither the Watch Fit 4 nor the Pro has a SIM card slot. There’s no cellular modem — the watch relies on Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC for connectivity (T3 (tech review site)). Wi‑Fi is also absent.

The catch: If you want a watch that can stream music or take calls away from your phone, this isn’t it. For most fitness‑first buyers, the tethered setup is a fair trade‑off for the battery savings.

How much is Huawei Watch Fit 4 in Ireland and where to buy?

Price at retailers like Harvey Norman and Currys

In the UK, the standard Watch Fit 4 retails for £149.99, while the Pro costs £249.99 (T3 (tech review site)). Irish pricing typically adds €20‑€30, so expect around €179 for the standard model and €289 for the Pro. Retailers such as Harvey Norman and Currys Ireland stock the line, though availability may vary by colour.

Payment options including Klarna

Harvey Norman offers Klarna instalment payments on qualifying purchases. The standard Watch Fit 4 at ~€179 can be split into three interest‑free monthly payments — a handy option for budget‑conscious shoppers.

What this means: the Watch Fit 4 positions itself as a high-value alternative to both Fitbit and Apple, especially for users who prioritise battery life and display brightness.

What is the difference between Huawei Watch Fit 4 and Watch Fit 5?

Design and display differences

Huawei launched the Watch Fit 4 Pro in May 2025 (T3 (tech review site)). The Watch Fit 5 is not yet announced, but based on the generational jump from the Fit 3 to Fit 4, the Fit 5 is likely to bring a slightly larger display or improved processor. For now, the Fit 4 series is the latest.

Feature set and performance upgrades

The Pro adds ECG, arterial stiffness tracking, and a higher peak brightness (3,000 nits vs the standard Fit 4’s reported 2,000 nits). Both share the same core fitness tracking, Bluetooth calling, and water resistance. Digital Reviews (consumer electronics publication) describes the Pro as “a stylish Apple Watch alternative” that lasts “forever”.

The catch: until the Fit 5 arrives, the Fit 4 series remains the most current option, offering significant upgrades over the Fit 3 at a competitive price.

Is Huawei better than Fitbit?

Feature comparison with Fitbit trackers

The Huawei Watch Fit 4 competes directly with mid-range Fitbit models like the Charge 6. According to T3 (tech review site), the Watch Fit 4 offers a larger 1.82‑inch AMOLED display, up to 10 days of battery life, and water resistance to 40 metres — features that outpace the Fitbit Charge 6’s smaller screen and shorter battery. However, Fitbit’s ecosystem offers a wider range of third‑party apps and more established sleep tracking algorithms.

Price and ecosystem differences

At £149.99 for the standard model, the Watch Fit 4 is only slightly more expensive than the Fitbit Charge 6 (£139.95), yet delivers a brighter display and longer battery. The trade‑off is a less mature app ecosystem and limited notification interactions. For Irish buyers, the choice often comes down to valuing raw specs vs. ecosystem depth. A Reddit user community summarised it: “For the price, the Watch Fit 4 Pro is a compelling alternative to the Fitbit Charge 6 — longer battery, bigger display, and water resistance that actually lets you dive.”

“The Watch Fit 4 Pro is a stylish Apple Watch alternative that lasts forever and does almost everything.”

Digital Reviews (consumer electronics publication)

“The Watch Fit 4 Pro offers ECG and arterial stiffness tracking, features usually reserved for much more expensive wearables.”

T3 (tech review site)

“For the price, the Watch Fit 4 Pro is a compelling alternative to the Fitbit Charge 6 — longer battery, bigger display, and water resistance that actually lets you dive.”

Reddit user community (hands‑on impressions)

The Huawei Watch Fit 4 series lands in a sweet spot: it undercuts premium smartwatches on price while delivering core fitness features — GPS, ECG, long battery — that many users actually need. For Irish shoppers weighing value against the Fitbit ecosystem, the choice is clear: pick the standard Fit 4 for pure fitness, or the Pro if you want ECG and offline GPS. Either way, you’re getting a watch that goes a full week on a charge, which is more than the Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch can say.
