Yes, you can use the Huawei Watch Ultimate for fitness tracking with an iPhone. Here's how it works and what features you can expect:
Compatibility and Setup
The Huawei Watch Ultimate is compatible with both iOS and Android devices through the Huawei Health app. To set it up with your iPhone, you need to download the Huawei Health app from the App Store. Once installed, open the app, enable Bluetooth on your iPhone, and follow the in-app instructions to pair the watch with your device[1][7].
Fitness Tracking Features
The Huawei Watch Ultimate offers robust fitness tracking capabilities, similar to those found in the GT3 Pro series. It allows you to track over 100 exercises, features an algorithm for auto-tracking workouts, and provides running courses and training plans. These features are beneficial for both casual users and semi-professional athletes[2].
Health and Sleep Tracking
In addition to fitness tracking, the watch can continuously monitor your heart rate, perform ECGs, evaluate arterial stiffness, measure SpO2 levels, track stress levels, body temperature, and monitor sleep patterns. These health features are part of Huawei's TruSeen 5.0+ and TruSleep 3.0 packages, which provide detailed insights into your health and sleep quality[2].
Limitations with iPhone
While the Huawei Watch Ultimate works well with iPhones for basic fitness and health tracking, there are some limitations compared to using it with an Android device. For instance, you might not be able to control playback playback from the watch, and some advanced smart features might not be fully supported due to the lack of integration with iOS beyond what the Huawei Health app provides[3][4].
Overall, the Huawei Watch Ultimate is a solid choice for fitness tracking with an iPhone, offering a range of features that can enhance your fitness and health monitoring experience. However, if you're deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem, you might prefer an Apple Watch for more seamless integration.
