• Period tracking:
Estimated period, ovulation and fertile window reminders ✔ Mature and styish design.
✔ Responsive and vibrant display.
✔ Solid battery life compared to Apple Watch and Wear OS watches.
✔ HarmonyOS looks and feels smooth ❌ Bulky screen.
❌ Unreliable period tracking.
❌ App functionality is bested elsewhere You favour style over substance If you’re looking for a stylish smartwatch that comes with all the basic functions you would expect, the Huawei GT 4 is a great option. The GT 4 is more than serviceable, but it lacks the functionality of Apple and Samsung alternatives, and it’s limited even further to iPhone users. I’m torn on the Huawei Watch GT 4 (41mm). The fitness and health tracking features are vast and accurate, and while I wouldn’t recommend the period tracking feature, it does offer a lot of reliable information regarding overall health. The main downside here is that it doesn’t boast the same third-party capabilities as some watches in its price bracket. The Apple Watch SE 2 for instance, while not as broad in scope where fitness tracking is concerned, features plenty of extra features like contactless payment and offline music storage for less. The 41mm option doesn’t feel quite as workout-friendly as its larger 46mm counterpart, which is why the best feature of HarmonyOS – the fitness tracking – is subdued here. If you want a great fitness smartwatch from the get-go then you’re far better off opting for the Huawei Watch GT 4 46mm, which is paired with more workout friendly watch-straps in the box.
