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

How reliable is this indicator?

I can run a half marathon in 1:44 and honestly don’t think I’m better than 4/5ths of my peers

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?

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?

Huawei Watch GT 3 Randomly Shuts Down and Won’t Stay On

Hi everyone,

I’m having a frustrating issue with my Huawei Watch GT 3. A while ago, it randomly shut down and wouldn’t turn back on. After a few days, I tried charging it. The Huawei logo would appear, but then it would turn off again after a few seconds.

Recently, I reset my phone. When I tried to power on the watch again, it actually turned on! But once I paired it with my phone, it immediately shut down again.

Here’s what I did after that:

  • I deleted the Huawei Health app from my phone.
  • Turned off Bluetooth.
  • Put the watch back on charge, and it successfully powered on again.

I then decided to factory reset the watch. But when I tried pairing it with my phone again, the watch shut down once more.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas on what’s causing this issue? Any help would be appreciated!

Huawei Band 9 and notifications

Hi everyone. Just bought a Huawei Band 9 and testing it out…

Notifications do not respect the enabled Focus mode on my iPhone, which suppresses notifications from a specific app. My Garmin does not show the notification (as expected), but the Huawei does..

Support sent default checks to be done.

Please any ideas? Thank you.

GT5 recognizes sleep while awake

As the header said I recently bought the watch. And I noticed if I'm in bed watching Netflix or reading it might start recognising sleep earlier than I am actually sleeping. The time that I'm putting book/laptop away it recognises as awake and goes back to sleep. Any ideas how to fix this?

GT2 Notifications with no sound

I’m trying to find an option to make notifications only vibrate and not make a sound but the only option I found so far is to mess with the volume, which if turned all the way down, stops the notifications from appearing at all (turns on silent mode). Is there no such function for this version?

Sudden Drop in Calorie Count, Anyone Else?

Hello, I need your help, I don't understand anything anymore. I have a Huawei Watch Fit 3, and previously, my bike session used to burn 1400 calories according to the watch, while the bike indicated around 1200. But lately, the watch says I'm only burning 1000 calories for the same, if not more intense, session. The bike still shows 1200 or even more sometimes.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

Thank You 😁

Huawei Watch Fit 3 not adding up calories correctly.

I had the suspicion the watch does not add up calories after I finish a workout and I decided to take pictures. Any explanation for this?
