The screen is 1.5" AMOLED,
which we alreadysaw in the Watch Ultimate. However, the new domed glass design
and intrusive bezel make the watch a lot more pleasing to the eye.
We got the all-Titanium unit
for review with an aerospace-grade titanium case and a similar strap. If you
don't have much experience with watch face sizes, the 22mm of this one means
it's on the larger size, so you might want to check how it sits on your
particular wrist before ordering one.
The Titanium strap is the only
one in the Watch 4 family with a classic deploy ant clasp; all other variants, pro
or not, have a pin buckle mechanism. Huawei provided extra elements in the
retail box so the Watch 4 Pro could fit on everyone's wrist.
When companies put sapphire
glass on their smartwatches, they promise full scratch resistance. This is exactly
what we experienced in our time with the watch - after several activities,
including an ultra-marathon in the mountains with shoulder-high grass and
bushes, there is no single scratch on the screen or the body.
Because the glass is domed, it
increases the surface area ever so slightly, which also makes navigation
through menus a bit easier.
Huawei ships the Watch 4 series with Harmony OS
3.0. There are a handful of new features, making the Watch 4 Pro a lot more appealing
device to have on your wrist. Watchfaces can bring more details, there are over
100 widgets, and there is even basic multitasking.
The number of widgets is a bit misleading because,
in reality, you are limited by the number of cards appearing with a swipe to
the right. You can have up to seven different "universal cards" that
can be customized with different combinations of data visualized; only when we
add third-party apps from AppGallery will the number of widgets grow.
