This document outlines the features and functionalities of a smartwatch, covering aspects from initial setup and daily use to health monitoring and maintenance.
The smartwatch offers straightforward power management. To power on, simply press and hold the side button, or it will automatically power on when connected to a charger. If the battery is critically low, a prompt will appear, and the device will power off after 2 seconds. Powering off involves pressing and holding the side button for 3 seconds and selecting "Power off," or navigating to Settings > System > Power off. The device will also power off automatically if the battery runs out. Restarting can be done by going to Settings > System > Restart or by pressing and holding the side button for 3 seconds and selecting "Restart."
The watch features a touchscreen interface, supporting swipes (up, down, left, right) and touch-and-hold gestures for various operations. The side button serves multiple purposes: a single press returns to the home screen (though not during workouts), a press from the home screen enters the app list, and a 1-2 second press wakes the voice assistant. Swiping left/right from the home screen switches between screens. Swiping right on other screens returns to the previous screen. Swiping up on the home screen checks messages, while swiping down accesses the settings menu for features like Do Not Disturb, Find Phone, and alarms. Touching the screen selects and confirms actions, and touching and holding the home screen allows for changing watch faces.
Charging the device is simple: connect the metal contacts of the charging cradle to the back of the watch, place it on a flat surface, and connect the cradle to a power supply. The screen will light up, displaying the battery level. It's crucial to ensure the charging dock is dry, as it's not water resistant. A full charge takes approximately 65 minutes. Battery level can be checked by swiping down on the home screen or via the Huawei Health app.
Pairing the watch with a phone is essential for full functionality. After powering on, the watch enters a discoverable state. It's compatible with Android 5.0+ or iOS 9.0+ phones, requiring Bluetooth to be enabled. For Android 6.0+, location services must also be enabled. Huawei phones running EMUI 8.1+ support HwSynergy for enhanced connection quality, which may require access to SMS, contacts, and call logs. Upon first use or after a factory reset, users select a language before pairing, which then syncs with the phone's language. The pairing process involves downloading the Huawei Health app, adding the watch as a device, touching "PAIR," and confirming the request on the watch. A successful pairing displays an icon, and important information like date and time syncs within 2 seconds. A different icon indicates failed pairing, returning to the startup screen.
Once enabled, the watch syncs notifications from the phone's status bar, including SMS, missed calls, calendar events, and messages from third-party social media apps like WeChat and QQ. To enable notifications, open the Huawei Health app, go to device settings > Notifications, enable Notifications, and turn on switches for desired apps. Phone settings may also need adjustment (e.g., Settings > Apps & notifications > Notifications management on EMUI 8.1.0). Disabling notifications follows a similar path in the Huawei Health app. The watch will not notify during workouts, Do Not Disturb mode, or sleep mode, but messages can be viewed by swiping up on the home screen. Chat app messages (e.g., WhatsApp chat screen) are not pushed. A Bluetooth disconnection reminder feature vibrates the watch if the connection is lost.
Watch faces can be changed in three ways:
Alarms can be set via the watch or the Huawei Health app. Method 1 (on watch): Enter the app list, touch "Alarm," and touch the "+" icon. Set the time and repeat cycle, then touch "OK." Alarms without a repeat cycle are one-time. Existing alarms can be modified or deleted (only event alarms can be deleted). Method 2 (Huawei Health app):
To enable weather reports, open the Huawei Health app, go to device settings > Weather reports, enable the feature, and select the preferred temperature unit. Viewing pushed weather reports:
When connected to the phone and worn correctly, the watch vibrates and lights up for incoming calls. Calls can be rejected from the watch. If not worn, the screen lights up but doesn't vibrate. For missed calls, the watch vibrates and lights up.
On the watch:
On the watch:
The "Workout status" app on the watch displays fitness status variations and training load over the last seven days, aiding in workout plan review and modification. It also shows recovery time, efficiency levels, peak status, training interruptions, and low efficiency levels. Training load is categorized as High, Low, or Optimal. The app primarily tracks training load and VO2max variations. Training load is collected from heart rate-tracking workout modes (running, walking, cycling). VO2max values are collected during outdoor running workouts. The watch needs VO2max values to display workout status. VO2max variation requires using Outdoor Run mode at least once a week (2.4 km within 20 minutes per workout) and at least two VO2max values with an interval of over a week. From the home screen, press the Up button, swipe to "Workout status," touch it, and swipe up to view workout status. Fitness status (VO2max) variation is a key indicator, displayed only if Outdoor Run mode is used weekly and two VO2max values are collected over a week.
When worn correctly, the watch automatically records daily activity data, including step count, workout distance, and calories burned. Method 1 (on watch): Enter the app list, touch "Activity records" to view step count, calories burnt, workout distance, moderate to high intensity activity, and hours of activity. Method 2 (Huawei Health app): View activity data on the home screen or device settings screen. Ensure the watch is connected to the phone via the app. Fitness data resets at midnight.
When "Auto-detect workouts" is enabled (Settings > Workout settings on the watch), the watch detects increased activity and prompts to start recording a workout. Users can choose to ignore or start recording. Currently, it detects running, elliptical, and rowing workouts.
The watch measures sleep data from 20:00 to 20:00 the next day. For example, sleep from 19:00 to 06:00 is split between the first day (before 20:00) and the second day (after 20:00). If HUAWEI TruSleep™ is not enabled, the watch uses a traditional method to track sleep stages (falling asleep, waking up, deep sleep, light sleep) and syncs data to the Huawei Health app. To enable HUAWEI TruSleep™: In the Huawei Health app, go to device settings > Health monitoring > HUAWEI TruSleep™, and enable it. This enhances sleep recognition (deep, REM sleep) and provides quality analysis and suggestions. Viewing sleep data:
On the watch, enter the app list, touch "SpO2," and start a measurement. "Retest" indicates completion. This function may not be supported in all countries. Readings are interrupted by swiping right, incoming calls, or alarms. For accuracy, wait 3-5 minutes after putting on the watch. Keep still, wear the watch snugly (avoiding contact with joints), ensure the heart rate sensor touches the skin without foreign objects, and keep the screen facing up. The watch also measures heart rate during SpO2 measurement. External factors like low temperature, arm movement, or tattoos can affect results. Results are for reference only and not for medical use.
Resting heart rate indicates cardiac health, measured in a quiet, stationary, awake state, ideally after waking up. In the Huawei Health app, go to device settings > Health monitoring > Continuous heart rate monitoring, and enable it. The watch will automatically measure resting heart rate. If continuous monitoring is disabled after checking, the displayed resting heart rate in the app remains. Resting heart rate data on the watch clears at 12 a.m. "--" indicates the watch couldn't measure it. The device may not always display the exact optimal time for checking, and readings may differ slightly from actual values.
During a workout, the watch displays real-time heart rate and heart rate zone, and alerts if the heart rate exceeds the upper limit. For optimal training, choose workouts based on heart rate zones. To set heart rate zones: In the Huawei Health app, go to Me > Settings > Heart rate limit, then set "Calculation method" under SET HEART RATE ZONES to "Maximum heart rate percentage" or "HRR percentage."
If heart rate exceeds the upper limit for over 1 minute during a workout, the watch vibrates and displays a message until the heart rate drops or the message is cleared by swiping right. To set a heart rate limit:
If resting or sleeping heart rate exceeds a limit for 10 consecutive minutes, the watch vibrates and displays a message. Swipe right or press the side button to clear. To set a high heart rate limit:
If resting or sleeping heart rate stays below a limit for 10 consecutive minutes, the watch vibrates and displays a message. Swipe right or press the side button to clear. To set a low heart rate limit:
To enable Automatic stress test: In the Huawei Health app, go to device settings > Health monitoring > Automatic stress test, and enable it. Viewing stress data: Enter the app list on the watch and touch "Stress" to view stress level and percentages for different stress levels. The automatic stress test is disabled during workouts.
When enabled, the watch monitors activity throughout the day in 1-hour increments. If no movement is detected during that period, the watch vibrates and lights up to remind you to move, promoting a balance of activity and rest. To disable: In the Huawei Health app, go to Health monitoring and disable "Activity reminder." The watch will not vibrate for notifications when Do Not Disturb is enabled or during sleep. Activity reminders are sent only between 8:00–12:00 and 14:00–22:00.
From the watch's home screen, press the side button, touch "Cycle Calendar," and touch the edit icon. Edit or confirm the start and end of your period to improve accuracy. After input, the watch predicts the next period. This function may not be supported in all countries.
Unread notifications are stored on the watch. View them by swiping up on the home screen or touching "Notifications" in the app list. To delete a single notification, swipe right on its content display screen. To delete all unread notifications, touch "Clear All" at the bottom of the list. A maximum of 10 unread notifications can be saved; older ones are overwritten if more than 10 accumulate. If full content isn't visible on the watch, use the phone. Notifications are automatically deleted from the watch when read or deleted on the phone.
When the watch enters standby, the Always On Display is shown. It's disabled by default. To enable: From the watch's home screen, go to Settings > Display > Always On Display, swipe left or right, and touch the checkmark. Currently, only preinstalled watch faces can be used for Always On Display.
On the watch, enter the app list, touch "Stopwatch," then touch the play icon to start, the pause icon to stop, and the reset icon to reset. Swipe right or press the side button to move it to the background. The stopwatch counts up to "99:59:59" and stops automatically when this maximum is reached.
On the watch, enter the app list and touch "Timer." Select from eight presets (1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 min, 1, 2 h) or touch "Custom" to set a specific time. Touch the play icon to start, the pause icon to pause, and the "X" icon to exit. Swipe right or press the side button to move it to the background. The watch vibrates when the time is up. Touch the restart icon to restart the countdown and the "X" icon to exit.
Enter the app list, touch "Flashlight." The screen lights up. Touch the screen to turn it off, then touch again to turn it back on. Swipe right or press the side button to exit.
Swipe up or down on the watch's home screen and touch the speaker icon, or enter the app list and touch "Find Phone." If the phone is within Bluetooth range, it will play a ringtone (even in Silent mode). Touch the "Find Phone" screen on the watch to disable. Ensure the watch and phone are connected, the phone is powered on, and the Huawei Health app is running in the background. The phone rings for 10 seconds; if no operation, the watch prompts "Stopped ringing" and its screen turns off after 30 seconds.
Controlling music playback is only supported on Android 5.0+ phones. The watch can control third-party music apps like NetEase Music.
Swipe down on the watch's home screen and touch the moon icon to enable Do Not Disturb mode. Alternatively, on the watch, go to Settings > Do Not Disturb. It can be set for all day or a scheduled period. When enabled, messages and notifications are not displayed, and "Raise to wake" is disabled. Alarms still vibrate and ring normally.
On the watch, go to Settings > Strength, and select "Strong," "Soft," or "None." The watch returns to the previous screen.
Upon first power-on or after a factory reset, a language selection prompt appears before pairing. Once paired, the watch's language syncs with the phone's. Changes to language, region, time, or time format on the phone automatically sync to the watch when connected.
Method 1: On the watch, go to Settings > System > Reset. All data will be cleared. Method 2: In the Huawei Health app, go to device settings and select "Restore factory settings."
In the Huawei Health app, go to device settings and touch "Firmware update." The phone searches for updates. Follow on-screen instructions.
The watch has a 5ATM water resistance rating, but this protection is not permanent and may deteriorate over time. It can be worn while washing hands, in the rain, or swimming in shallow water. Do not wear it while showering, diving, scuba diving, or surfing. Factors that may affect water resistance: dropping the watch or other impacts, exposure to alkaline substances (soap, body wash, perfume, emulsion, oil), and use in humid, high-temperature conditions (hot shower, sauna).
For accurate activity, sleep tracking, and heart rate monitoring, wear the watch correctly as shown in the provided figure. The strap uses a U-shaped buckle design to prevent it from falling off. Insert one end of the strap through the buckle, then fasten. The end of the strap is intentionally bent for enhanced wearability. If skin discomfort occurs, stop using the watch and consult a doctor. Wear the watch properly for maximum comfort. The figure is for reference only.
