To use the Huawei Watch Ultimate with an iPhone, you will need to install the Huawei Health app. This app is essential for pairing and managing your watch's features. Here's a detailed guide on how to set it up:
1. Install the Huawei Health App: Open the App Store on your iPhone and search for "Huawei Health." Download and install the app. Ensure you have an internet connection and Bluetooth enabled on your iPhone[1][2].
2. Power On Your Watch: Turn on your Huawei Watch Ultimate by pressing and holding the crown button until you see the Huawei logo. Select your preferred language by swiping up or down on the screen[1].
3. Log In with Huawei ID: Open the Huawei Health app on your iPhone. If you don't have a Huawei ID, you will need to create one. Log in to the app using your Huawei ID[2].
4. Pair the Devices: In the Huawei Health app, navigate to the upper right corner and tap on "Add device." The app will start scanning for nearby devices. Once your watch is detected, tap on it to connect. You may need to allow Bluetooth pairing and other permissions[1][2].
5. Complete Setup: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process. This may include allowing notifications and other permissions. Once paired, you should see your watch listed in the app, and you can manage its features from there[1][2].
While the Huawei Watch Ultimate offers advanced features like Expedition mode and Dive mode, some functionalities might be limited when paired with an iPhone compared to using it with an Android device. For example, you won't be able to install additional apps on the watch when it's paired with an iPhone[4][6]. However, basic features such as receiving notifications and tracking health metrics should work seamlessly[6].
