Question about the AppGallery (Looking for an App)

I'm looking for a simple way to manually track scores during sports games. Older Fitbits and Garmin devices support third-party apps for golf, tennis, and other sports scoring. Does Huawei's AppGallery offer anything similar? I just need a reliable way to keep score without relying on my memory.

Gt2 Pro doesn't turn on anymore, but shows charging

Hello,

Went swimming with my Gt2 Pro, I did that many times before, but this time it acted weird and it shut down. When I arrived home, I couldn't turn it on anymore. I left it in rice for a couple of days, and now the only sign of life is showing when I put it on the charger. It shows the white text HUAWEI logo, and it shows the watch charging animation if I press the button. However, nothing else works, I cannot turn it on, cannot hard reset it, cannot connect to it.
Any ideas what to try before I throw it out? :(

During workouts it vibrates every 10 minutes. How to change that?

I got Huawei Watch GT4, and definitely saw that option somewhere in the app or at watch settings, but can't find it now.

Is it possible to change so it does vibrates, say, every 15 or 30 minutes during workout? I mean, it is good to track hownlong lasts your workout, but 10 mins is too often and a bit annoying.

Wristband adjustment on Watch 4 pro...?

Hi, i got the Watch 4 pro space edition for christmas. It's really nice, but i have one big problem, the metall wristband... I can't make it fit perfectly, it's either too tight or too loose. The watch costs 500€ here, i can't believe you can't adjust it on the closure like with any other metall wristband... Can anyone recommend me a nice wristband that matches perfect with the watch and can be adjusted better...?

Watch Fit 3 resting heart rate issue

I just got a watch fit 3 after using fitbits my whole life. Fitbit consistently had my RHR in the mid 70s whereas my Huawei is consistently telling me low 60s although gives very similar heart rate data to the Fitbit otherwise (tried wearing one on each wrist and were within 1bpm of each other every time I looked). Are there different calculations for RHR or something?

I can only adjust my step count goal in increments of a 1000. Is this standard for everyone or a problem in my app please?

Not being able to change to a specific number of steps doesn't suit my needs at all. I didn't have this issue with the last app I used (not huawei) so I find it really annoying. A thousand steps is impossible for me to increase at a time, but I do like to hit goals where possible.

Problems with Watch 4 pro wristband

Hi there, i got a Watch 4 pro space edition for christmas, sadly the titan wristband is either too tight or too lose for me 🥲

I don't get it, a very expensive watch and you have just one option to adjust the also very expensive wristband...

Anyone knows where i can get a wristband that suits the watch, and which maybe has better options for adjustment? All i find on Google looks really cheap and would look so wrong on that watch...

Is Huawei Watch Fit 2 still an okay purchase or should I buy Fit 3 instead?

I mean, if it will lose its software support very early, and go bad, I may as well buy fifty percent more expensive alternative (in my country). So I'm asking your guidance.

Get some games on watch fit 2?

Is there any way to get at least some (possibly sideloading) games on harmony os 2.1.0.213? I mean that the official app hase an app gallery that loads app on the watch, so why couldn't there be any way to do that? Like with mi band that you can sideload watchfaces with an app?

Huawei Watch Fit 3 default gallery image?

Hey, weird question but I recently did a firmware update to my watch after using the default gallery watch face, and now the default gallery image that was there is gone....

I can't find it online and this really annoys me, it's not a custom image that I've added or something, it was the default gallery image that arrived with the watch(so it on many other videos by people)

Anyone knows where I can get this image or how to get this default watch face back?

I refer to this image:

Huawei Band 8 Sleep Tracking issue

My Huawei band 8 tracks my sleep 1 hour ahead. For example if i go to sleep at 22:30 and wake up at 6:30 it will correctly track that i slept 8 hours but the interval shown on the watch will be 23:30 to 7:30. The sleep time on the phone app is correct and the time shown on the first page of the watch is also correct. Any fix for this ? Edit: Photos of what i'm talking about: https://imgur.com/a/7a9aTm4

I can't pair my new Huawei Band 9 - Pairing failed

I just bought the Band 9 after a long time with the band 8. I've been trying to pair for an hour now with my Samsung Galaxy A12.

To try and fix it, I have:

  • Removed the old band 8
  • Synced my data and reinstalled Huawei Health
  • Turned on and off my Bluetooth
  • Reset the new band 9, multiple times.
  • Updated the App Gallery
  • Updated HMS Core
  • Reset my phone's network settings

All to no avail. The most I got was that after reinstalling the app, my phone also acknowledges the pairing failed instead of just the watch and advises me to "restart the watch and turn the phone's Bluetooth off and on again." I would greatly appreciate help as I don't want to have to return this.

Has anyone scratched the face of their GT5 Titanium yet?

I'm curious about how good this sapphire glass screen is. I've had mine for almost a month and while I generally try to be carely, I also just wear it absolutely everywhere. I keep looking down and expecting to find at least some small scratches on the face but so far, it looks brand new.
I usually assume 'sapphire' screens are just marketing language and it'll scratch anyway butI'm really happy with it so far.
Has anyone scratched theirs yet? And do you know what caused it?

Can I swim with this?

So long story short, I purchased a watch strap and links for my Watch Fit 2 from AliExpress. I've been swimming with the original strap for over a year without any problems. I feel like the new links that I got are a bit looser than the original strap so the question is, Can I safely swim with this new strap? In other words, will these new links being a bit looser than the original affect the Watch's waterproofing?

Which to hwatch to buy

So wanted to dip my toes into the world of smartwatches but at the same time being cost effective. Ive been watching the videos of The Quantified Scientists and Huawei watches seem to be the best value but there are many options. Currently torn between 3 options. 1. Band 9 (26 USD) 2. Fit 3 (96 USD) 3. Fit 2 (37 USD but from the aftermarket so i doubt its brand new) Uses id want from the watch would be to measure my heart rate, how much ive slept and overall just be reliable and semi accurate. Therefore mainly torn between the Band 9 and Fit 3. Should i go for the cheaper Band 9 to test things out or just go with the Fit 3 to be my main driver for awhile? or are there any other fairly budget watches youd recommend? please do let me know and all thoughts and opinions are appreciated. Thanks all

Watch fit 3 disconnecting from huawei health

Is it normal for the watch to disconnect from the app? It's still connected to the phone through bluetooth but not on the app, i have to open the app for it to reconnect again. Sorry for the dumb question, i just got this watch a week ago. Oh and I'm using it on IOS, 15 plus.

Huawei Watch Fit 3 does not notify on iOS with Huawei Health app

My wife has an iPhone 13 Pro Max and Huawei Watch Fit 3 connected using Huawei Health.

The problem is that she has to open Huawei Health app frequently, otherwise, the watch will not notify for call or any other notification. After re-open the app, everything works fine for some time.

Everything works fine on my Android phone with another Huawei Watch Fit 3.

So I guess iOS prevents Huawei app from running for a long time.

How can we fix this issue?

Airplane mode on Huawei Watch GT4

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to enable Airplane Mode on my Huawei Watch GT4 and also completely disable Bluetooth, including any Bluetooth scanning. I’ve been searching through the settings but can’t seem to find the exact option for it. Does anyone know the steps to achieve this? Any help would be appreciated!

Huawei Health +

Hello, I use a Huawei GT2e and a month ago an update appeared. In Portugal, the Huawei Health + service is available for €7.99 a month or €59.99 for a year.

I've tried it and it seems to me to be a direct competitor to Apple Fitness Plus, but with a greater variety of exercises.

Has anyone else tried it?
