Notifications are a mess on Huawei watches! Why aren't reviewers discussing this with every new release? Grouping various notifications from different apps under "Messaging," without a unique icon or name, is terrible. I bought a Huawei Watch Fit 3 last week and had to return it because of this issue. Notifications are top priority for me when it comes to smart bands/watches. I truly don't understand why this problem isn't receiving more attention.
When you demoing the Huawei watch 4 Pro why don't turn the screen on to stay on for say 10 minutes then you don't have to keep pressing the side button. It's very distracting seeing your hand go across the screen every 10 seconds to turn on the screen. Thanks
Enjoying the Watch 4 Pro series videos. Disappointing with how the notifications work, at least the possibility of replying to WhatsApp and SMS is there so that's good.
Huawei Watch 4 Pro certainly is beautiful! It depends really on your location and personal requirements. Huawei watch is not supported by google, and that means there are drawbacks. GW6C has all the specs, such as NFC payments. However, health tracking wise, it's not as good as Huawei watch. Which one did you decide to get?
On the Huawei GT4 I can completely read an Outlook email, but cannot respond back. You can also read SMS and WhatsApp messages and only respond with short answers or with icons. There is no keyboard available! I can also read news items completely. With Instagram, Facebook, UA-cam, you also get the notifications with the icon and subject from which platform it came from. The GT4 seems to have improved in this respect compared to the 4 Pro..
Hello dear, I have a question regarding WhatsApp at huawei watch 4 pro, can you explain mor please about dealing with WhatsApp massages while linking it the the phone "i mean without using esim at watch" If someone sent you photo can you see it at the watch normally and reply with a photo? Thank you in advance.
Hi, thank you for your comment. With regards to WhatsApp messages - on iPhone, you can see the message but no option to reply. Also, you can't view photos either. On Android phones - you can see and reply to the message from the watch, but you can't view photos. I hope this helps. All the best :)
I use a Galaxy Watch.... if I have a theme installed on my phone [P50 Pro], when I receive a notification on my watch it shows me the custom icon i use in that theme...
Having the developer option means that one can sideload apps onto the watch, alter and access hidden settings. However, I'm not sure if you're able to access the developer option on the GT3 Pro, but you can on the Huawei Watch 3 and 4 Pro.
It works, but it is quite limited functionality wise. From my experience, notification isn't great. You can't reply to messages from notifications. No NFC payments or calendar sync, to name a few. I have published a video for Huawei Watch 4 Pro and iPhone. Do check it out for more details.
There is no option to reply from iPhone notification. We published a video covering that, called 'Huawei Watch 4 Pro - How Does It Work With iPhone?' Check this video, which covers setup and notification issues with iOS. I hope this helps. Many thanks :)
How can i track the watch. Is there a way for live location tracking. I got it for my kid. Have setup the sim. But cant figur out location sharing. Also installed watsapp (in the developers mode) watss app do have live location shareing but the issue with wats app is too big for the screen. not able to select live location sharing
@@MarcoPolo82 Compared to the Galaxy Watch, on Ultimate I didn't receive notifications from the channels I was subscribed to... I couldn't respond to a simple sms from the watch, I couldn't set a custom ringtone, you can't upload watch faces though Huawei offers you the necessary software for it and so on...
It will work the same as WhatsApp, Twitter, etc. So, any notifications from the phone are pushed through to the watch by the Huawei Health App, providing you have your notifications enabled.
Battery life you mention is incorrect. If heart, stress, O2, temperature sensors are all ON and wifi OFF, e-sim not installed, no excersising, no messaging, no AOD, and very limiting use of the watch the max. is 2 days !!!! There is an irritating lag of almost 2 seconds, the curved screen gives irritating reflections and in general the watch reacts slow. Moreover there is no NFC, ECG, e-sim support and blood sugar functions in The Netherlands.
Looks like your experience has really been poor - perhaps it's possible you may have a faulty unit. I'm not sure how the same watch can be this much apart as I've been extensively testing the device and also had all the above on with AOD, too.
So disappointed about this watch… I wanted to buy it but after seeing this… i can’t buy it … a lot of missing things ! 600 euros for this and nothing works !!! What a bullshit !!!
You get notifications from the apps on your watch, but there are no apps for the watch, so you have to sideload APKs. Did you get the titanium or leather strap one?
@@familycreate Leather one and lovin it .a lot of people daud the titanium one was not comfortable to wear . Yeah I know about the APK and I know how . Just not sure witch one would work on it without turning down DPI ....let me know if you dud it .thanks for great content

Thank you for the info. Although I'm getting the Huawei Watch 4, you solved my questions and made me finally purchase the product.
Thank you so much. I'm glad to be of help. All the best :)

Thank you for that. We'll bear that in mind for next time.
exactly. it was so annoying to see him keep pushing the buttons to turn on the screen

Yes, I'm very disappointed. But you're right at least we can reply on these apps.
@@familycreate how can i reply without using custom replies please
I dont know if i go fir this huawei or the galaxy 6 classic but i love how huawei look its spectacular

That sounds promising. Thanks for letting us know.
@familycreate did u bought the GT4 Pro already? I have purchased it on Ali.
Does it has multitask during exercises, like running a timer on background?
Yes, it does, I just tested it. So you can have multiple apps running at the back. If you double tap the crown, you can view them. Hope that helps.

Very informative
Thank you so much.

Yeah, unfortunately, on this watch, it only shows notifications for certain apps.
also what are the benefits of activating the developer options on a gt3 pro please thanks
Having the developer option means that one can sideload apps onto the watch, alter and access hidden settings. However, I'm not sure if you're able to access the developer option on the GT3 Pro, but you can on the Huawei Watch 3 and 4 Pro.
Very well explained..
Thank you so much
Hi, any idea why on my watch is missing some features what you have WIFi and also huawei app for example, using an android phone
Hi there, are you using an Apple or Android OS based phone? The Huawei Health App is quite limited on Apple phones compared to Android phones.
Hello, is the Huawei Watch pro 4 perfectly compatible with iPhone or else what are the missing functions please?
It works, but it is quite limited functionality wise. From my experience, notification isn't great. You can't reply to messages from notifications. No NFC payments or calendar sync, to name a few. I have published a video for Huawei Watch 4 Pro and iPhone. Do check it out for more details.
Reply option available in iphone uses ?

Any possibility you could show us iOS notification and paring? Thanks
Yes, of course, I'll try and get back to you asap.
@@familycreate thank you for your prompt responses. You are doing a great job helping people experience the product before buy.
Any news about pairing iOS? And can you reply WhatsApp with voice or keyboard to when paired to a iPhone?
You can swipe on keyboard?
It's the same on Huawei Watch Ultimate....
Do you like the Huawei Ultimate?
@@MarcoPolo82 i Return it...

Can it also reply to Snapchat and Facebook messenger sms?
Sorry, I do not use those platforms, so I did not test it. All the best.
how does 9 key layout keyboard looks like?
It's similar to the mobile phone keypad.
Can i use social media like Instagram snapchat
It will work the same as WhatsApp, Twitter, etc. So, any notifications from the phone are pushed through to the watch by the Huawei Health App, providing you have your notifications enabled.
on a gt 3 pro how do you reply to messages please instead of using the crap custom made ones
I had a quick look, but I don't think GT3 Pro has the features to custom reply.
Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro notification is not clearing automatically after a message is read, anyone can help me?

Agree. It's a great watch, amazing design, and build, but sadly, in the West, it's pretty much useless due to the Huawei ban.
