The Huawei Watch Ultimate is compatible with both Android and iOS devices, although iOS compatibility may have some limitations compared to Android. For iPhone users, several fitness apps can be used alongside the Huawei Watch Ultimate, either through direct integration or by using the watch's built-in features in conjunction with apps on the iPhone.
Huawei Health App
The Huawei Health app is a primary companion for Huawei smartwatches, including the Watch Ultimate. It supports over 100 different sports and activities, from beginner to advanced levels, allowing users to track their workouts, heart rate, sleep quality, and more[7]. While it integrates well with Huawei devices, it can also be used with iPhones to manage and track health data.Other Compatible Fitness Apps
1. Strava: Known for tracking running and cycling activities, Strava is widely available on both Android and iOS platforms. It can be used to track workouts and sync data with the Huawei Watch Ultimate, although direct integration might require using the Huawei Health app as an intermediary.
2. Jefit: This app is ideal for strength training and can be used on iPhones. While it doesn't directly integrate with the Huawei Watch Ultimate, users can manually log workouts and track progress using Jefit on their iPhone[2].
3. FitOn: Offers video-based workouts that can be accessed on an iPhone. Users can manually start workouts on FitOn and then use the Huawei Watch Ultimate to track heart rate or other fitness metrics during exercise[2].
4. Nike Training Club: This app provides free workout videos and can be used on iPhones. Similar to FitOn, users can manually start workouts on Nike Training Club and use the Huawei Watch Ultimate for tracking purposes[2].
Limitations with iPhone
While these apps can be used with an iPhone, there are some limitations. For example, installing additional apps directly on the Huawei Watch Ultimate is not possible when paired with an iPhone, and some features like voice assistants may not work as seamlessly as they do with Android devices[3].Overall, the Huawei Watch Ultimate can be a versatile fitness companion when paired with an iPhone, especially when used in conjunction with the Huawei Health app and other fitness apps available on iOS.
