Training features
More accurate training data
Thanks to the improvements made to the heart rate monitor hardware and the GPS hardware, in addition to the optimization of the algorithms, the accuracy of the heart rate measurement has improved significantly.
For example, the accuracy of the heart rate monitor has reached 5 beats per minute through training such as interval running and marathons. The precise route positioning can locate a single running track, display real-time pace accuracy, and the distance accuracy has reached industry-leading levels.
Training modes
The watch supports GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning and offers several professional training modes, such as running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, mountain hiking and trail running. A variety of training modes are available for customization.
You can add desired training modes to or remove unwanted ones from the list of frequently used modes.
Professional breed data
The watch can measure a variety of professional training data such as time, distance, calories, speed, heart rate zones, aerobic exercise stress, anaerobic exercise stress, VO2Max and recovery time to make your data more clear.
Huawei’s advanced training system provides evaluations and suggestions for beginners in running.
Multiple heart rate zones
The maximum heart rate varies depending on the type of exercise you do. Maximum heart rate can also be marked to accurately calculate calories burned in specific training modes.
Physical status
After the outdoor running mode has been activated for some time, the watch calculates and informs you of your current physical condition so that you can adjust your training strategy in time to avoid injury.
Heart Rate – Recovery
There is a difference between your highest heart rate during exercise and your heart rate shortly after resting. The speed and level of recovery after exercise can be used to measure adaptation to exercise volume and physical status.
Resting heart rate
The resting heart rate refers to the stable heart rhythm when the person is awake and relaxed. Long-term continuous exercise can improve heart function and lower the resting interval.
RAI — Huawei’s new competition capability evaluation system
Running ability index (RAI) uses running measurements to evaluate the runner’s overall data and thereby estimate the runner’s level.
Gt4 Training status
Training load
Training load is training time multiplied by training intensity and is an accurate reflection of the training load and the impact it has on the body.
VO2 Max
VO2Max indicates maximum oxygen uptake capacity and indicates the highest level of oxygen uptake and utilization per kilogram of body weight per unit of time during a long period of intense exercise. It reflects the body’s ability to take in, transport and use oxygen and is therefore an important indicator for assessing the ability to train aerobically.
Training performance
Aerobic Exercise Stress: Indicates the benefits of aerobic exercise to the body during a single exercise session. Long-term aerobic exercise can effectively improve this index.
Anaerobic exercise stress: This indicates the benefits of high-intensity exercise to the body during a single training session. High-intensity interval training can effectively improve this index.
AI race plan
The watch supports personal, user-friendly, advanced and professional smart running plans adapted to your training goals and times. Such a training plan is automatically adjusted based on your actual training data and results. From there, you’ll receive weekly feedback and summaries to help you reach your goals faster.
Training for automatic detection
The watch identifies and reminds you to start a training mode that suits your current activity. You can either ignore the reminder or press to start. Currently this is only available for running, walking, cardio or rowing machines.
Share training route
You can import other users’ training routes and export yours to share with others via the Huawei Health app.
Route Back
If you get lost during an outdoor adventure, simply turn on the “Route Back” feature to get real-time guidance to help you find your way back. When you get lost in environments like forests or mountains, you can enable “Straight Line” navigation to quickly get back to your starting point. The watch calculates the distance and shows you the distance and estimated time required to get there.
Activity calls
The accelerometer and gyroscope are used to identify and monitor your diversified exercise status throughout the day. Number of steps, calories burned, activity intensity and number of standing times can be collected and displayed. Completing the activity rings daily is encouraged by setting reasonable goals and smart reminders and incentives, thus cultivating exercise habits. (This also helps build product loyalty.)
Share heart rate data
After this feature is enabled, the watch will continuously measure your heart rate and automatically sync your heart rate with connected devices or third-party apps.
External pulse bands
When this feature is turned on, the watch can continuously measure your heart rate and automatically sync it with connected devices or third-party apps.
Health functions
Smart heart rate measurement

Automatic SpO2 measurement
Oxygen saturation (SpO2) is the percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in relation to total hemoglobin in the blood. Low SpO2 levels for a long time can cause damage to the brain, heart or other organs. The watch supports automatic SpO2 level detection and periodically measures changes in your SpO2 level throughout the day.
HUAWEI TruSleepTM
