Huawei Band 4 Pro Features

We ran, lifted weights, slept, and examined with Huawei’s new smart bracelet, Band 4 Pro. Here’s the detailed Huawei Band 4 Pro review and what you need to know before buying.

We have been using Huawei’s new smart bracelet Band 4 Pro for a while and in this review, we will talk about all the features of this device and the impressions I have had. This device is a very new product, it went on sale last month and is in demand with its affordable price. The Band 4 Pro is currently available for $99.99 and it differs from many other models of this category with its features. So, what are these? Let’s take a closer look at Huawei’s new smart bracelet.

However, let’s first say that Huawei introduced its new devices last week and these include WATCH GT 2 Pro and WATCH FIT smart watches. While both watches look good with their looks, they will probably come to our hands soon, and we can give you detailed information about the new watches after use.

Features of Huawei Band 4 Pro

First of all, this smart bracelet has GPS support. Thanks to the built-in GPS, it follows wherever you go and marks it on the map. So much so that during the time we used it, we saw that it really did a correct route tracking. You can use this feature for outdoor runs, walks and cycling as well as swimming since the Band 4 Pro is water resistant up to 50 meters. This smart bracelet is also suitable for water sports.

Huawei Band 4 Pro Smart Bracelet Oxygen Measurement

Another important feature of Band 4 Pro is that it can measure oxygen. With this feature, which has been used in Huawei smart watches and wristbands a while ago, you can measure blood oxygen saturation. Thanks to the SpO2 measurement, you can have an idea about your general health status.

More Than Fitness, Life Coach Features

Although the main function of fitness devices is like counting steps, keeping the heart rhythm while exercising, calculating the calories you burn, these devices do much more than that. The oxygen level we just mentioned is an example. However, Band 4 Pro also acts as a life assistant and offers us many features from smart watches in the form of a wristband.

With this device, you can play music over Bluetooth, instantly see notifications from your social media applications, and have many other functions. To check all this, you need to download the Huawei Health app on your phone. Thus, you can make many settings here, and you can choose which platform notifications from your phone should reach you via the bracelet.

In fact, it would be more correct to say that almost everything related to the watch can be controlled through this application. Because you also adjust the watch design here, and the wristband warns you when your heart rate is low or high. You can even adjust how your heart rhythm should be measured for exercises.

Able to Make Detailed Analysis Reports

We have mentioned before; Different calculation methods are used when measuring heart rhythm. While one of them is the Percentage of Maximum Heart Rate, the other is the Percentage of HRR. The Percent Maximum Heart Rate is determined based on your maximum heart rate and age. HRR Percentage is based on the Percentage of Maximum Heart Rate and the Resting Heart Rate. You need to make this distinction well in order to get the best training result.

Huawei Band 4 Pro Smart Wristband Training Analysis

While you are training, of course, you don’t need to app. You use the application mostly for the analysis report afterwards. Moreover, you should know that this analysis is also quite detailed.

A wristband is all you need when starting exercising. You choose the exercise you will do from the interface and then you start working. It warns you at certain times during the training and sends you your exercise report with a small notification screen after the training. For more detailed analysis, as we said, you use the Huawei Health application on the phone.

Huawei Band 4 Pro Smart Bracelet Sleep Tracker

By the way, speaking of detailed analysis, let’s say that the TruSleep 2.0 feature, which we saw in Huawei’s previous watches, is also included in this bracelet. This feature is really successful and especially satisfying those who want to analyze a good sleep at night.

Huawei Health App

It is necessary to open a parenthesis about the Huawei Health application. Previously, you could easily download and use the Huawei Health application from Google Play on devices with Android operating systems. However, as it is known, due to the friction between Huawei and Google, the threads broke, and this application was also affected.

The Huawei Health application is still in the Google Play Store and you can easily download it to another Android phone. However, to use this application, you need to download Huawei Mobile Services on your phone, which obviously makes it difficult to access the application. Although it is probably not directly related to the bracelet, since the application is an important part of this device, this is the most important deficiency.

Huawei Band 4 Pro Battery Life

Yes, we talked about many features of the watch. So how long does the battery last for this device?

The Huawei Band 4 Pro has a tiny battery with a capacity of 100 mAh. Although the battery is tiny, the clock and the screen on it are also small, so this battery lasts for 12 days. By the way, there are those who do not find the screen very bright, but we can say that it is quite bright enough. There was not much of a situation like we could not see the screen in outdoor use. Let’s also say that you can switch the screen brightness to night mode on the clock. Thus, the brightness is automatically optimized.

Yes, we were saying up to 12 days of battery life. Of course, this period varies in different usage scenarios. In the 12-day scenario, you should disable the TruSleep, continuous heart rate, wake up the screen with wrist movement, while you can use all the remaining functions of the watch by briefly checking the screen 30 times a day. In this scenario, it is possible to get up to 12 days of performance, which is an impressive period of time.

When we turn on these canceled features, the battery life decreases to 5 days, but in this scenario, you use the watch effectively. By the way, let’s also say that the wristband offers 7 hours of training time with GPS enabled.

When the bracelet’s battery is low, it is very practical to charge it. You can charge it via USB with the clip-on charger that comes out of the box. However, it may take a few tries each time to fit the bracelet into this clip-on slot. After connecting, it can be charged to full capacity in about 1.5 hours.

In Conclusion

As a result, this new smart watch from Huawei, Band 4 Pro, is a nice and appropriate option for this category. Band 4 Pro is an affordable model that differs from its competitors with its built-in GPS support. It is a good alternative with its long battery life, exercise options, water resistant structure, good night tracking and other features we mentioned. The price, as we said, is $99.99. Although we have Graphite black, you can also find it in Ginger Red and Rose Gold colors.
