Our verdict
HUAWEI suits anyone who wants a watch, a tracker and a ring from one maker and cares more about battery life than about warranty length or live chat. Its watch runs 21 days between charges, which puts the brand at 4 of 23 brands here on battery days.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Battery life of 21 days runs well past the smartwatch and tracker median of 11.5, and HUAWEI ranks 4 of 23 brands on that measure.
- One maker covers smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring, where Oukitel's range is smartwatch alone.
- The watches pair with iOS and Android, so the handset you own does not narrow your choice of device.
- Sensors cover heart rate, ecg and skin temperature, including ECG and skin temperature, and the watch is water resistant to 50 m.
- The line-up is sold across a broad market list, AE, AR and AT, from the UK and the US through Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
Cons
- The warranty runs 1 year, while brands in this comparison reach 2 on the same measure, so cover is the weak spot on an otherwise long-lived device.
- Live chat sits outside email, phone and help centre, which leaves phone, email, a help centre and a community forum to carry the support load.
- Amazfit adds a chest strap and a smart scale to its range, smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring, and HUAWEI's smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring has no equivalent accessories to pair the watch with.
Who it suits
- People who want a watch, a tracker and a ring from the same maker, since HUAWEI covers smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring under one roof.
- Outdoor and pool users, with water resistance rated to 50 m and GPS among the listed heart rate, ecg and skin temperature.
- Android and iOS users alike, since the devices run on iOS and Android without a platform choice narrowing the range.
Who should look elsewhere
- Amazfit, with smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring, is the pick for anyone who also wants a chest strap or a smart scale alongside the watch.
- Runmefit, whose smartwatch and fitness tracker covers watches and trackers, suits buyers who want a leaner range than smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring.
- Oukitel, whose smartwatch is a watch line alone, fits buyers who do not need a ring or a tracker from the same brand.
Core features
Two numbers carry this watch. Battery life is 21 days, which is why charging becomes a weekly habit rather than a daily one, and it is the figure readers weigh most often across this category. Water resistance is rated to 50 m, enough for pool sessions and everyday showers without fuss. The warranty runs 1 year, the shortest part of the package and the one worth pressing on, since a watch bought for long-term tracking is usually kept for years rather than months.
The company behind it
The wearables carry the name of Huawei Device Co., Ltd., the company that also runs the consumer site and the regional stores. Support runs on email, phone and help centre: email, phone, a help centre and a community forum. Phone and email put you in front of a person, the help centre covers setup and servicing questions, and the community forum is the place for shared fixes. Live chat is not part of that set, so anyone who wants typing-first support should plan around email instead.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the battery really last?+
HUAWEI rates 21 days on its watch, comfortably past the 11.5 median for smartwatches and fitness trackers in this comparison. On that measure the brand sits at 4 of 23 brands listed. A watch that runs past a week between charges removes one daily habit, and heavy GPS use tends to shorten that figure.
Will it work with my phone?+
The watches run on iOS and Android, so either major phone system is covered and your handset does not narrow the range. Because HUAWEI sells smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring under one maker, moving between a watch, a tracker and a ring stays inside the same ecosystem. Pairing details still vary by model, so check the compatibility line for the exact device before ordering.
What health data does it track?+
The listed sensors cover heart rate, ecg and skin temperature, so heart rate, ECG, skin temperature, sleep, HRV and GPS are read from the watch rather than from a phone. That is a wider set than a basic step counter, and skin temperature alongside HRV gives the range something to say about trend watching. Read the output as a record of change over time, and leave diagnosis to a clinician.
Can I swim with it?+
Water resistance is rated to 50 m, which is enough for pool swimming, showering and rain for most wearers. That rating applies to still water with the watch at rest, so deep diving, high-pressure jets and hot steam are worth avoiding. Rinse the strap after salty or chlorinated sessions, since seals and bands wear faster in both.
What does the warranty cover?+
The warranty runs 1 year, which is the shortest piece of an otherwise durable package. In this comparison, brands reach 2 on the same measure, so longer cover is common in the category. Buyers expecting a device to last several years should weigh that gap before settling on the brand.
What support do I get after buying?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, giving you email, phone, a help centre and a community forum. Two of those reach a person directly, which beats waiting on a forum thread for a setup problem. Live chat is not part of the set, and opening hours follow the market you buy in, so check the local page before you call.
Where can I buy it?+
HUAWEI sells wearables across a broad market list, AE, AR and AT, covering the UK, the US, much of Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. A list that wide means availability differs by country, and a model released in one market may arrive in another later. Buying in your own market keeps warranty service and returns straightforward.
How much does it cost?+
Price depends on the model, since the range spans smartwatch, fitness tracker and smart ring with several tiers inside each type. For orientation, entry prices across smartwatches and fitness trackers in this comparison sit at €99.90, while smart rings in the same comparison come in at €174.52. A watch buyer is therefore shopping against the tracker range, a ring buyer against a narrower and dearer group.
