On this path of exploring the possibilities of wearable smart devices, Huawei has always been at the forefront. Relying on deep technology accumulation and strong investment, Huawei's smartwatches and bracelets always manage to be the first to support new health features, such as the new WATCH 4 Pro that we are going to review today, which is a new flagship smartwatch that creates another breakthrough in their wisdom and health features.
A new body with upgraded texture
Huawei has always been more focused on round dial design than other smartwatches' love of rectangular dials, and naturally this pursuit is not absent in the WATCH 4 Pro, which still features a round design. But this time Huawei has given an additional layer of curved surfaces on top of the round, the entire sapphire glass is still spherical in design, and I can be affected by the subtlety of this curvature every time I look at the dial.
On the side of the watch is the more familiar combination of buttons, above which is the iconic oil-filled red ring crown, which, like the watch body, has an inverted trapezoidal design, forming a corresponding echo. The case itself is also made of titanium TC4, which is a combination of texture, style, and ruggedness that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
Huawei WATCH 4 Pro also comes with a new titanium H-band, which is more integral than the traditional three-strap band, with a fully brushed finish and titanium luster that looks just as good, and each section in the middle supports increases and decreases for different wrist sizes.
More intelligent health monitoring
One of the main points of the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro upgrade is the health monitoring thing. It is equipped with Huawei TruSeen TM5.0+ monitoring technology and high-performance sensors that can cover heart rate, blood oxygen, body temperature and ECG analysis, and other items of monitoring, so as to achieve a comprehensive assessment of health.
Let's put further health research into the next session to evaluate, in which I still want to talk more about the health monitoring experience of Huawei WATCH 4 Pro this time. Entering the default application menu of the watch, we can see quite a number of subdivided health function applications, containing items such as blood oxygen saturation, sleep, ECG analysis, plateau care, stress, breathing, body temperature, daily activity and innovation research.
Some of you may start to have a headache when you see this, so many subdivision of health research, the project is more, but one item to measure up is also very troublesome ah. This is the time to mention the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro's "micro-check" function.
Although Huawei is not the first manufacturer to integrate multiple data for simultaneous measurement, but thanks to Huawei WATCH 4 Pro's extremely powerful monitoring capabilities, its micro-check function supports an extraordinarily large number of items. In addition to the usual blood oxygen, heart rate and pressure, it also combines ECG analysis and respiratory health testing, which allows you to test basically all the items supported by the watch in just a minute or so, and bring them together in the same analysis report, which really feels like you've had a mini medical checkup, which is interesting.
More in-depth health research
After talking about the above excellent health monitoring experience, the next step is to enter the "deeper" area of wearable devices. We have also seen a lot of health monitoring functions and health research on Huawei's previous generation of watches, and with the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro, the items it supports can be divided into three major categories, namely endocrine, cardiovascular and respiratory.
The most important concern is the new endocrine project - blood sugar health research. Unfortunately, I have not completed the 7 to 14 day evaluation at the time of writing this review, so I do not have the actual evaluation data and cannot comment on its actual performance.
Of course, it should also be explained that Huawei WATCH 4 Pro's hyperglycemia risk assessment is not actually based on blood sugar data monitoring, but rather on the analysis of daytime and nighttime physical data to assess the user's hyperglycemia risk and thus help the user make timely adjustments.
In other words, it can't directly measure blood glucose in an invasive or non-invasive way for the time being, but I think with this current high blood glucose risk assessment capability, it will also drive the progress of the development of a real smartwatch's non-invasive blood glucose data measurement capability, giving us more to look forward to in the Huawei smartwatch.
If Huawei WATCH 4 Pro's blood glucose health research is still a new feature in the initial stage, then its cardiovascular and respiratory research is very mature. The aforementioned "micro-check function" will also combine these two research functions, and the "medical report" will also gather this part of information and present it in the micro-check report, such as whether there are abnormalities in the ECG, whether the lung function is good, whether there is a risk of slow This is already a very useful feature.
Exercise monitoring and some other experience highlights
Obviously, the re-evolution in health is a major highlight of the Huawei WATCH 4 series, but that doesn't mean it's not good enough in other areas. For example, when it comes to exercise, it offers the new Vitality 3 Ring, which presents the day's activity data in a more intuitive and scientific way.
It also offers a more professional sports mode and track return function, a part that also made an appearance on the previous Huawei smartwatch. What impressed me more is also its dial that can still be customized during exercise and track record after exercise, details that also make it more unique and useful.
As for the battery life, Huawei WATCH 4 series is said to have some upgrades, including the Pro version in all-round mode is said to be able to reach 4.5 days, but after the actual opening of the rest screen display such as the "energy-consuming", its actual battery life will be slightly discounted, will come to about 4 days level. But considering that it is not picky about the charger and can be "recharged" by wireless charging, I think this battery life is still commendable.
Conclusion
Even without the blood glucose health research-related features that are currently unavailable, the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro is still an excellent smartwatch. It inherits many of Huawei's past efforts in sports and health, and provides more convenient health monitoring functions and more in-depth health research projects from a more thoughtful user perspective, many of which we didn't think were achievable on a watch in the past.
Combined with the highly textured design, I think the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro is still a rare and good choice among smartwatches, and it's even the "only solution" for those who have special health monitoring needs. Will they really be able to launch a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring watch in the future? I'm looking forward to it.
