With the Honor Watch 4 Pro, Honor wants to establish itself as a strong contender in the market of premium smartwatches. Cutting-edge features combined with top-notch build quality at relatively affordable prices will make the consumer tempted by this one. But how is it faring in practical usage? Let’s get into design, display, fitness tracking, and more in all the detailed sections below.
Design & Display
The Honor Watch 4 Pro gives off a classy, yet sporty design which comes across as premium to wear. The watch has a stainless-steel body, complemented by soft-touch materials for a stylish finish which would fit well both on casual and formal clothing. The colors available include black and silver, hence to a great extent cater for any individual’s preferences. Its characteristic feature is the 1.75-inch AMOLED display with rather sharp, vibrant, and very responsive presentation.
The display has been designed to be readable under direct sunlight due to its high brightness levels and enhanced contrast. It offers a resolution of 390 x 450 pixels, making it great for viewing notifications, fitness data, and maps with crystal-clear visuals. The display also boasts an always-on option, which lets the user glance at the time and health stats without waking up the device.
The Honor Watch 4 Pro features a rotating crown that lets one scroll or set various menus or settings without having to constantly tap at the screen. That makes the smartwatch user-friendly, especially to those who are always on-the-go. In addition, customizable watch faces let users change up the display according to what they want it to look like.
The Honor Watch 4 Pro is made with a 5 ATM water-resistant rating, which can submerge up to 50 meters deep. This means that you will have no worries regarding your swimming, shower, or doing any form of exercise while wet. Be at the pool or in the rain; it won’t have any effect on how well the watch works.
Related areas include fitness and health tracking.
The Honor Watch 4 Pro brings fitness tracking into the next level, making it an excellent choice for all health-conscious people. First and foremost, it comes packed with various health sensors so that the user can really know their heart rate and SpO2 levels alongside stress monitoring and even getting an ECG. Its overall health tracking setup lets you have a real-time detailed view of your body’s status.
The watch contains continuous heart rate monitoring, which tracks your heartbeat all day long and offers you a warning in case anything is abnormal. Its feature also includes an ECG, which can guide the diagnosis of heart complications and thus be useful in monitoring the cardiovascular health even more closely for heart patients or people who wish for this.
Besides heart rate and ECG monitoring, the Honor Watch 4 Pro also contains SpO2 monitoring that allows the user to measure the oxygen levels present in their blood. It is very useful when some person is exercising heavily or traveling to a high altitude region; it clearly provides an idea of the efficiency of the body in the utilization of oxygen.
It supports multiple workout modes from running, cycling, to swimming and even golf-while automatically tracking walk/run activities. It can give detailed analytics after exercises; pace, calories burnt and VO2 max data included.
A major plus is the feature on sleep tracking allows insights into sleep patterns, quality, and length. Tracks light, deep, and REM stages, which is information that can be utilized to improve hygiene and enhance recovery. The watch contains stress monitoring coupled with breathing exercises intended for stress reduction when the stress levels are high.
Safety Features
The Honor Watch 4 Pro features a lot more safety features, which are even more advanced than those of a fitness tracker: they can even be lifesavers at certain times. Probably, the biggest safety feature is the fall detection system. The fall detection system uses sensors installed in the watch to determine if you have experienced an untimely fall or impact, especially while you are undertaking a particular activity. If the watch detects a fall, it automatically sends an alert to your emergency contacts, ensuring that help is on the way even if you are unconscious or unable to call for help yourself.
Besides fall detection, the Honor Watch 4 Pro can send SOS alerts using emergency SOS to a set pre-contact in case an SOS signal is activated when the side button is pressed; this also sends the wearer’s location directly to that preset contact while providing comfort because the sender spends a great deal of their time alone either in wilderness or hazardous terrains while hiking, jogging, traveling, or what have you.
Another critical feature for safety is location tracking. The watch has GPS and GLONASS, so outdoor activities like running, hiking, or cycling will be tracked properly. To those who engage in outdoor sports, this feature will track where they are, ensuring that if lost, it will be easy to locate them. Moreover, using real-time tracking, it will be easy to share the location with people close to you in case of an emergency.
Safety measures included by the Honor Watch 4 Pro give far beyond being merely a health watch to being a perfect, helpful gadget in cases when unpredictable events occur.
Battery
If there’s one aspect where smartwatches fall short and prove disappointing, it would absolutely be the battery. The case with Honor Watch 4 Pro cannot be any different. So, this watch boasts when it comes to the power strength with a 530mAh, which is of considerable size as compared to all other smartwatches around. So, the performance of the battery in this Watch 4 Pro goes pretty well, even without discontinuing continuous heart rate and GPS tracking.
In normal use including regular fitness tracking, receiving notifications, and sometimes GPS working out, it operates for up to 14 days on one charge. This is much better than many competitors in the same price range who require charging after a few days.
Of course, battery life would drop to a little more if one uses features such as GPS navigation or long-period monitoring of heart rates continuously. Nonetheless, it goes up to 7 days with heavy usage. Depending on how much display the wearer uses and how much use is made of what sensors, it would even go more than 14 days with just notifications and some simple fitness tracking applications. It charges the Honor Watch 4 Pro quite quickly, too, on its magnetic charging dock. It normally takes 1.5 hours to fully charge it from 0% to 100%, so easily overnight and ready for action the next day. With regard to power saving, the Honor Watch 4 Pro boasts of an Ultra Battery Mode where some functions are disabled to further draw down the battery in the event of a low remaining charge that needs to last.
Performance & Hardware
The Honor Watch 4 Pro boasts a powerful, efficient Kirin A1 chip, which processes and powers the performance of every functionality in the device-no matter it’s about fitness tracking, notification receipt, or any other task. So whenever you change apps or check up your health data, the tasks would be performed fast, with no whiff of lags, because of optimized software.
The watch runs on Honor’s custom operating system, which is lightweight and user-friendly. This provides an intuitive interface for the user. The OS is fluid with no jerky transitions from menus and easy navigation through apps. There is ample storage in the Watch 4 Pro for music, workout data, and other apps to be stored in it.
For connectivity, the Honor Watch 4 Pro comes with Bluetooth 5.0 for strong connectivity with smartphones, and the user can receive calls, messages, emails, applications, and even respond to texts directly from the watch using the in-built microphone and speaker. One other feature that allows users to make and receive calls from the watch is convenient if one wishes to stay in touch without having to fetch their phone.
Hardware in the watch also includes several sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, and a barometer that enhances all features tracking such as step count, altitude measures outdoor activities, and many others.
Overall, the performance and hardware of the Honor Watch 4 Pro are powerful to handle everyday activities or intense exercise fitness tracking with the watch.
Should I Buy the Honor Watch 4 Pro?
This will depend on whether it’s a good buy, and this depends on your requirements from a smartwatch. If you’re that kind of person who thinks health and fitness, it has some excellent range features to track: heart rate, ECG, SpO2, and sleep. This design is sleek, modern, and functional for a watch that gives off a premium feel without looking too chunky. Additionally, the product has some battery lifespan that is a great advantage since not everyone wants to charge their smartwatch too often. Features such as fall detection, SOS alerts, and location tracking are ideal for activities done outdoors or even for people who have health issues.
However, if you are searching for a smartwatch that has many more advanced features, for example, more extensive third-party apps or even a very customizable user interface, the Honor Watch 4 Pro would be a little short of those premium options such as Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch. The operating system is more basic, and app selection is less flexible with the Honor Watch 4 Pro.
All in all, if you are looking for a strong, fit-packed smartwatch that focuses on fitness tracking, safety, and battery life, the Honor Watch 4 Pro is a good one to check out.
