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?

New user of Watch Fit 2: can swimming and cycling be automatically tracked?

I bought a Watch Fit 2 for my wife and she has a couple of problems.

She can't work out how to set it to automatically detect swimming and cycling.

Secondly, she swam yesterday and after only 3 minutes and a couple of lengths of a 15-metre-long pool, it said she had swum 150 metres! She said she told it the pool was 15 metres long, so why would this happen and how can it be corrected?

Fit 3 - Sleep Data Error

I've recently bought the fit 3 but having issues with the sleep data being recorded and not sure if I need to change something in the settings.

If I randomly wake up at 2am to go bathroom and then go back to sleep... the data will show 2am was my wake up time and then won't have any data for when I went back to sleep. The same issue happens when I have an alarm set but then turn it off and go back to sleep.

Any idea how to fix this?

Average pace interval running

Thinking of buying the huawei watch fit 2 and I saw you can do interval running with customised workouts.

My question is: can I see the average pace per interval afterwards?

Huawei Fit 3 Music Playback Error

Hi everyone,

I bought a Fit 3 as a gift to my girlfriend since she really liked how it looked and how it performed at tech store. Shes using an iP14 Pro Max and she wanted to have some songs on the watch but it isnt possible to send songs over and iOS device for some reason (probably Apple is the reason), however, when I sent a music file to the watch over my S23 Ultra the selected music file won't play displaying "Playback Failed" message, regardless of the current paired device. How to fix this?

Differences between Huawei Watch Fit 2 CN version and global?

I can get the CN version from Aliexpress, what would be the differences with the global version? Could I have any problems with it in terms of software? What about UI language?

I would pair it with Samsung phone in Canada.

Locating Huawei Watch 4

Hi, we bought a Huawei watch 4 for my demented mother in law for security. We want to be able to find her, if she gets lost, but I can't find a way to locate the watch besides letting it ring. Can anyone help?

Wrong step count

I was driving for 7 hours today, on mostly village roads and my Huawei watch GT4 shows I've made 28000 steps, which is impossible. I've walked about 1 hour today at most and that's all. It counted the movements in the wheel and I want to delete todays step count. How do I do that, any ideas?

Update: This happened again. I had another very long drive, mostly in traffic and in slow speeds because it was very rainy, from 11am till midnight on the highway and I got a notification that I had done 10000 steps from my watch when I was close to my destination while I was still driving. I only walked a little at home before I started driving and had two short breaks. I'm now very sure it's counting your steps while you drive.

GT4 has nice looks but I have another watch which I'm using for about 4 years and which is about 4 times cheaper and I didn't have an issue like this with it.

HWatch Gen 1 self-renewal

So I had some issues with my old H1 watch. Burn-in from even a small amount of SOT, small battery life even with screen off, and bad charger engagement with the back cover even after cleaning.

I was able to replace the back cover, digitizer, and battery on my own! First time I have ever done this, and it was 100% successful.

I got all my items on AliExpress. Not going to spam the links since I am not spamming referrals or promoting a listing, but I got these items (by title):

  1. "HB442528EBC battery For HUAWEI Watch 1 Watch1 HB442528EBC 300mah" (had the most recent date --2020-- on the battery I could see on screenshots that looked close to the original and not a fake battery)

  2. "For Huawei Watch 1st Gen Back Cover Smart Watch Housing Door Watch Battery Cover Repair Parts Accessories"

  3. "For Huawei Watch 1st First Generation Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly LCD Display Screen With Frame Bezel But No Button" (FYI installing the old crown button on this is a pain, probably the hardest part of this whole repair/renewal that I did, but the new assembly and digitizer were great)

#My results after repair/renewal:

  1. Rather than only a small amount of SOT or even ambient mode on, I can go 12+ hours with ambient screen on and a good amount of that in active use for notifications and such, rather than completely off like before.

  2. No more screen burn-in! Not sure how long it will last with the new screen but it has been going strong for months now. Used to burn in very quick and would ghost for quite a while after a bright screen or if I stayed on the same screen. No more!

  3. Battery life is great compared to pre-renewal. Not sure if that wasn't clear on #1. My old battery was swollen and looked like it was about to pop. New battery looked almost identical, was flat and not swollen which helped with install, and had a newer manufacture date on it. Not sure if that was legitimate but by how it has been performing, I will give it credit.

  4. Charges great, connection good with back cover.

Note this is the first time I have ever done any small electronics repair or renewal like this. Took me about 30 minutes. At least 15 minutes of it were just figuring out how to get the crown button locked in. I have a small tremor with fine motor stuff like this and I think many could get it done sooner than me.

I was debating getting a new watch over this. I probably spent about $40 for the total for replacement parts. I was comfortable spending that versus buying a new watch today for much more. I feel like I got another couple of years out of this 9-year-old watch, which I am very glad about, as I still like the style, and the functionality fits my needs fine. Not sure I will renew again after a year or two, but I was glad to hold onto this watch for longer.

Feel free to ask me questions!

Inexperienced and looking for info

First time run with the Huawei watch fit, calories burned seem inaccurate (or not) but all the other stats look accurate to my untrained eye, so since i have 0 experience with neither exercise or these smart watches i decided to just drop all the stats here in the hope for some enlightenment. I used the built in outdoor run workout from start to finish i did also walk quite a bit since i can't run for an hour straight :3.

I'm a 182cm 83kg skinny fat out of shape male. here are all the stats https://imgur.com/a/2N9wGGB

Pairing Huawei watch 1 with iPhone?

I have a Huawei watch 1 which I managed to get brand new unused, and I’ve paired it via WearOS app on my iPhone.

Do I need to keep WearOS open in the background to keep it paired? Or can I use Huawei Health app?

Or something else? Seems to drain the hell out of my iPhone battery if I keep WearOS open in the background.

(Yes I know you’ll want me to get an Android… but I won’t)

Hello i am looking for SOS emergency contact for a watch

Hello i am looking for SOS emergency contact for a watch , it is a feature for the GT 3 or 4?

There isn't any info on the website, either on the notice pdf found on the net but i have read reviews on youtube to have maybe, and a twitch saying yes for GT3, but again since there isn't any info on the website why should a trust a tweet when it is an argument that should be advised in the main website

Temporary disable HW Health app?

As I mentioned, I would like to disable it just temporarily. I'm not using my GT-4 everyday, sometimes I just use analog watches and I don't want the app to be running in the background.

Watch fit 2 screen

Just received my watch fit 2 today and the screen protectors I ordered with it were absolute trash sadly (weak adhesive, bad fit for the edges). I’m now considering simply using the watch without any protection. Any experiences with the durability of the screen of the watch fit 2 when it comes to scratches?

The protectors I had ordered were actually some of the more expensive and better-rated ones on Amazon, but it seems like there isn’t really a decent option.
